Dreadful Typewriter

Posting on here because it seems to be the easiest method of blogging these days. Also Twitter, my addiction for the past few years, seems to be having a problem . Oh noes, I am forced to actually write my thoughts in a format that accepts more than just 240 characters per entry! I may spontaneously combust! I have actually been trying to blog on my Real Site. So I set up a Wordpress blog, because that's what the hosting service prefers (though they do offer other programs). But I find Wordpress to be exhausting to use for some reason. It's easy to use, that's not the problem. It's just exhausting. Too many choices, maybe? I also made a site on Neocities, which I have promptly abandoned. I don't know if I'm still into that sort of thing, website building from scratch. My real problem is I don't seem to be able to think of things to write about. Well, I do, until I am confronted with the blank page. Then all my thoughts vanish. I felt this writing urge die we...

I have found the perfect description for my blog. (It's from Francis Bacon via Aristotle.) So which am I? It depends on how soon I get my coffee.

Blogger has always been an easy site to use, it was the second site I ever blogged on (the first was Livejournal). I like Wordpress, but right now it's too busy for me to deal with. So what will I talk about here? Um, stuff. Yeah.

I mean yeah having your work rejected is depressing to your creative sense but wanting to make money is part of that and if you show up and say "well I just turned off my brain and wrote for money and it feels so much better!" how do you think that makes someone who is *definitely* not making any money off their rejected story or novel feel? God some people are dumb. I'm not tired of Twitter, but I think I need to get away from it more. I decided to try blogging again. I don't have any particular big ideas I have a burning need to talk about, but why not. Also I need to seriously work on my fiction so there is that. Of course, my fing...
