This is just a tribute.
Summary: The quick analysis of where I’m at with the blogging.
Yes, I stopped posting daily. I felt bad at the beginning, but I started to care less and less and less. The reason why I chose to do it every day initially was that I wanted it to become a habit.
Of course, as with all of my projects, I started to “optimize” early. I started pushing back the ship date. Posts got larger and greater in number, and I just sat there, being demanded around by my own words.
That ended a couple minutes ago, when I cleared out all the old posts I’ve had lying around. There was one about video games, and how I jumped back into that world fairly crazily around fall of last year. I wanted to talk about how I’m starting to see it as the awesome form of art it’s becoming. Jumping off from that was a post about my foray into the independent games, and how I wanted to dive deeper and deeper into that world. Heck, I even bought a domain name to do a podcast on the very subject. Subway, the fine dining experience, was the topic of a post, where I wanted to go through the horrible user interface and user experience it has, and how to correct it. I wrote a post on equating how I’ve improved my guitaring over the past couple months, and how I need to apply the same methodology to my projects.
Then I realized: If I really wanted to write on these, I would have already. And so, with this in mind, I nuked them all.
The funny thing is, I’m almost certain I can rewrite those posts again, with greater speed and clarity because of it being a second draft.
This insane need to log every single action of my life needs to die. Get it close to perfection, but freaking finish it already.
And that, my friends, is the beginning of yet another post.
/* May 1st. Being the first of a month, a nice day to start something. Of course, in reality, every day is a nice day to start something. And so I start again, with May 2nd. */
