I think I'm going to be ready to tell people about this soon. I just need to get in the habit of posting regularly. I feel like my hobby of writing has disappeared since technology took over everyone's lives. Writing "takes time" and isn't an "instant product". I miss it. I used to want to be a writer. I still do. I still believe that I will publish one book (but probably several, or at least I hope so) in my lifetime. What happened to the days of creating stories and characters and whatnot?
In my last entry (I think), I invited anyone who reads this to show themselves. What I can gather from the results is that I either have very lazy blog readers, or no one reads this. I am guessing the latter, but the former is quite possible, considering I have already experienced some internet stalking from my subs. And I don't mean that in a mean way. But that's the best word for what's happened: stalking.
This age (era) really freaks me out. There's a big part of me that rebels from anything connected to this age of making everything ridiculously easy and simple. But then there's another big chunk of me that finds so many of the products of this age very fascinating. I prefer phone calls over texting and emails, but I am doing this video project of "21st century pen-palling", and I'm struggling to justify my participation in my mind. I haven't come to any conclusions yet, and I continue contradicting myself.
I was a really good speller in elementary school, but now that computers are constantly correcting us, I've realized that my brain has started letting computers do the work, and I'm forgetting how to spell stupid things. It's very annoying.
I want to make it a goal to write more often. I want to make up stories and plot lines. It really scares me how much I have forgotten about writing. I don't want to be overtaken by this era of short attention spans. I think it's possible to get the best of both worlds.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hey to all of you.
And now, I'm saying bye.
