I think it is fairly obvious at this point that I haven't put a lot of effort into updating this blog very often over these last few months. Or ever. Let's go with ever. To the people that care, sorry about that. However, my laziness and lack of dedication is about to change, I hope, for the better.
Some of the best advice in the world for writers is a simple three-word adage: don't stop writing. Fairly obvious I'll admit, but anyone who has tried to write anything ever (so everyone I guess) will agree that it is never simple to "just keep writing." Just because I'm a writing enthusiast doesn't make that fact any less true. So, here is my attempt to keep myself writing everyday.
THE PLAN:
Everyday, I'll say that again... EVERYDAY I'm going to update my blog with short little whatevers of me talking about whatever. This way, I feel good about writing lots and posting to my blog and stuff! Two birds with one digital stone! But, hey, let me be more specific.
THE SCHEDULE:
Sunday
Branches and Roots: I will be the first one to say that my life has been nothing that I expected it to be. But that is mostly due to the fact that I had very few expectations to begin with. So, every Sunday I'm going to take the chance to look ahead to my future and look behind to my past with a critical eye. Expect a lot of introspective and spiritual rambling on my part.
Monday
Rain Dance in Traffic: The title of this section is named after one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, The Wonder Years. Every Monday, I'm going to be writing about some aspect of music may that be a specific song, artists, genre, or current news or controversy. I really like writing about music (I have been told by multiple professors to pursue such a career) and, while I can be particularly biased, I will do my best to make my opinions interesting at the very least.
Tuesday
Nostalgia Goggles: Time changes things. That much is obvious. The way each and every generation looks at facets of pop culture is no different. On Tuesday, I will be attempting to unpack how the past affects the ways we look at the present through a variety of pop culture topics.
Wednesday
Musings of a Fanboy: I am a fan of a lot of things and sometimes I just need a place to say how much of a fan I am of whatever I'm currently obsessed with. Every Wednesday, my blog will be that place. My obsessions come and go like the tide so expect the topics to range drastically.
Thursday
Once Upon a Blog...: Creative writing has always my passion and my strong suit so I would be remiss if I didn't make room for some short story writing on my blog. On Thursday, I will be writing a short snippet of a story based of an interesting prompt that I find on the internet.
Friday
Screen Time: Television and movies are huge facets of culture today and, in a world where how cool you are is equivalent to how many obscure TV shows you have seen, I'd thought I'd throw in my two cents on what is worth watching. Every Friday, I will dissect some aspect of a TV show or movie and spew out my thoughts on the matter.
Saturday
Top Ten: For a fairly disorganised fellow, I love lists. I also love having favorite things. So, every Saturday, I will be combining the two and making a Top Ten list. The subjects will vary but expect me to be ranking a lot of things from television, movies, comics, and video games. Because that's just how I roll.
So, mark your calendars y'all. Because today is the day that I either begin a project that I will be proud of for years to come or the day that I bite off more than I can chew. I hope you are excited to see which it is. I know I sure am.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Conner
I'm looking forward to it!
