New blog! This format is the one I decided will be best for me to complete the assigned journaling, which I have had a great challenge with recently. I find that I can type faster, you can read it much easier I'm sure, and the stream of consciousness writing that I tend to do well in, prospers here in the blog. So this is the way it will be. Unfortunately, I don't have a word counter or length guide, so I'll just be writing as much as seems appropriate. Perhaps a page-like amount.
A few things frustrate me about this system, however. First, I am have no access to indentation. The paragraphs start at the left margin, unless I painstakingly space them in. So I guess we'll have to deal. The other difference that I've noticed, is that I seem to have a peculiar habit of double-spacing after every period. This didn't seem odd to me until it was pointed out by someone while I was writing the Travels blog, and I've been irked by it ever since. So that's the cons. The pros: It's so easy! I just open another tab and start typing. How lovely. I can rack up a whole bunch of neatly written words with minimal effort, and improve my typing speed as I go. I can also link websites and pictures directly to this blog, instead of mentioning that I have to show you in class. This blog makes my life much easier. Except that I have to actually write the journals. Which I didn't do much of in the past week. And I can't just fudge the dates and crank them out either, with post times. It would appear that I can work ahead if I want to, however. I can time my posts for release at certain times. This is again to my advantage, because on a day like this Wednesday, when I will be away from home all evening, I can still crank out a post, by simply typing it tomorrow. If I were really on a roll, I could do a whole week at once. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. So far we're back 6 posts on the blog, and this is 1 of about 100 remaining. And so on that sobering note, goodnight!
(but not actually; further procrastination means that I'll be doing the questions presently.)
