I just took a moment to look at the title of my blog: “This is my blog and my brain”. And Ive realised that I have made a mistake in the current content of this ol’ blog o’ mine. It’s all too- formal. My previous posts are article formatted, my voice is there, but not 100%. Strangely stiff, like an awkward best man making his speech nervously at a wedding, pushing jokes out uncomfortably.
All of you who read this blog and know me personally know that I like to think. I probably think too much, the nerve synapses in my brain are working overtime pushing those electrochemical signals about. Im surprised my brain hasn’t gone on strike yet. Otherwise, known as a stroke (ba dumm tssshhh). Thoughts zip around this noodle like many metal balls in a particularly mad and colourful pinball machine. My brain even tries to think when I’m asleep, hence my vivid dream-filled nights.
So this is why I came to this decision. This blog is about to become personalized. I plan to write more on my general musings, as well as the usual reviews and articles. This entails the introduction of more rants and raves. Articulate rants of course, a far cry from the embarrassing “y is lyf soo harddd?!!!1111 2k12” facebook-esque whingings. I also aim to stick more of my poetry on here as well.
The original plan was for this blog to be like a portfolio, professional, witty and perfect. But it was inevitably going to revert back to me and my thoughts. This is my blog, and my brain.
I know what you mean. I really struggle between writing for me & writing for thers sometimes. The more me-centric posts tend to be rambly, but when I finally get that fine line right it's SO satisfying.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Hahah, yes but I suppose that is what writing experience provides you with, you learn to fine tune things more and edit the rambly bits out, through time, and trial and error. We just must keep practising I suppose! Thank you for the thoughts! Sorry its taken me so long to reply I have been super busy.
