Reboot

It's definitely about time that I started my blog up again! School's out, I have four of my six grades (all A's so far :D), and right now, the weather is beautiful in Kansas. I have much more time to think about what I want to write about and how I'm going to record it. As you can see, I've changed my blog up just a bit. I'm not fully focusing on my sci-fi story anymore, but instead I'm opening this up to all of my writings. Because why not? I want to work on all aspects of my writing and solely updating my original story just felt like a lot of pressure. Having a blog gives me the need to write because I know there are a few people that read my posts, but not having to post on one topic makes me feel better! I do still feel like I need to write more and update more often so I don't let others down, and this was the easiest way to fix that. It makes writing a worthy cause and how could that be bad? I also just want to thank you guys for reading my stuff!

So the blog's title is still the same, I mean, it's still my process of writing. I've moved all of my sci-fi stuff on to one page and I've created another page for links to things like future teaching ideas, cool things I feel like I should link to, and some of my own stuff like my old work and my GoodReads account so you can see all the books I've read. I'm sure I'll come up with other ideas for more pages, but I'm just starting up from this reboot and I'll add on as I need. I want to update this blog with stories and poetry, article reviews, teaching stuff, things that make me squeal in geeky pleasure, and whatever a blog is normally used for. Guess I'm just moving my blog from a specialization to a more general and personal blog. Looks like I needed less restrictive rules so I can look like I actually write stuff!

I also unearthed my DeviantArt account from high school (mostly because I was coerced into sharing it with my fellow future English teachers), brushed it up a bit and added some of my more recent stuff so it didn't look so sad. I think my last update had been two years previously. But now I'm going to throw some more stuff up there just so it can be public instead of sitting in my dusty harddrive; however there isn't much to be found on the site. It serves more as a museum to show me how far I've come in my writing. Most of what's on there is super cringe worthy and extremely over exaggerated in its angsty high school voice, but I feel like I've come much farther since then! There were some not so bad things in there, mostly a couple of lines in some of the poems, but I'm moving on, trying to work on new things and whatever catches my attention. It is a funny thing to look back years into the past and only having some words on an old website to help you remember what life was like. And then you laugh at how clueless you really were. This is part of my argument to always be a self learner!

Anyway, I feel like this post was a good start to actually doing something, and I'll end it here. Got to get back to reading the last few books from the Enderverse. The Kindle Paperwhite is amazing and I love using it to read. (Thanks Daddy!) Perhaps I'll write a review of it for next time?
