I would say Jesus, but I feel that would be blasphemous.
However, it’s been some 7 or 8 months since I’ve last updated, and I’d like to get back into the swing of blogging.
And that’s not to say I’ve been doing nothing this whole time. I have an exceptionally active blog on Tumblr (although that’s mostly reblogging pictures and whatnot), and I still like to whip out the pen and diary for special occassions, or when I’m traveling.
On that note, I’ve been doing much of that. I mean, after last spring semester finished, I had to contend with moving from my stepdad’s house in Worcester to my father’s in Brighton (since my mom is not officially with her sister in Rhode Island) which was obnoxious, and then I was at camp in Spencer for the summer (which was equal parts SO MUCH FUN and overly dramatic), and now I’ve been in Cork, Ireland since mid-August (resulting in some trips around here, a weekend jaunt to Scotland, and an upcoming trip to London).
I also have plans to participate in NaNoWriMo next month, which will probably be dominating my writing time, but I still want to poke around here a bit more.
There’s so much to cover, and my natural instinct is to do a total step-by-step recap of it all, but I’m trying to be a little more relaxed in my writing methods. Not the in the frequency, but in the way I flow from topic to topic. I want to be less focused on my rigid, chronological structure and more on connecting the memories and events thematically. I’m hopeful it’ll go a little better.
But till it is time for me to leave another post, I leave you with one of my quotes taped up on my wall:
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
-Mark Twain
