Reviving the Blog
Hey everyone! No need to worry here; still warm, the blood that run through these veins.
I have been a little bit removed from the scene lately, and that is due almost entirely to life events happening . What time hasn’t been taken up with everything happening in life has been spent staring at my screen wondering how to write. Â See, in all this time since I’ve last written anything of note, a LOT has been happening. I’ve tried writing about about most of it, but just can’t seem to get back into the groove.
The real issue is that I expect a lot of myself as a writer (which is funny when you consider how poor a lot of my writing is). Â Simply writing a paragraph on a subject isn’t enough for me, and so what could just be a little blurb about something turns into a 4 page essay. Â About three paragraphs into the essay, I have to step away from the computer for whatever reason and when I get back, I’ve lost all track of what I was doing.
Now, there are a couple options a site faces when this happens. Â I could always shut the site down, but frankly I like having it here. Â Stolen Droids has lasted a lot longer than any other site I’ve worked on, and I want to see it last a bit longer. Â Another option would be to rededicate myself to writing small novellas about every topic my mind comes across, but I only have so much time in the day and it feels like I’m getting less and less of that. Â The third option, and the one I’ve decided to go with, is to do less “editorial-style” posts.
What does this mean, overall? Â Well it means that instead of daily articles describing the moral implications of a new type of biodesiel and its effect on quantum string theory, it means you might get a lot more one paragraph posts about how cool something is that we found online. Â If you look back over the last few pages of posts, that’s kinda what we’ve been doing anyway.
So, I hope you enjoy the site. Â We hope to be here for a long while.
