My Thoughts: Progressing the Process

So it's 1:30 am and i have to be walking out of the house dressed and ready for work in 6 hours. However, like the night before last, I find myself restless, dreading the impending sound of the alarm clock. Tonight, instead of sleeping, I've spent most of my night perusing my seemingly endless twitter feed and browsing through other blogs to bookmark as I continue to break-in this new phone. And then I remember that I bought November issue mags and I begin to eagerly page through them. As my InStyle comes to an end, I graduate to the Vogue. I get through the first 5 pages of ads and remember why I don't spend my money on these. I bought this one for the same reason I buy any other Vogue, because of the cover. This one, Rihanna. As I arrive at her feature, I realize that I've already read this article, in its entirety, for free, on the web. There goes $4...

Tonight proved useful in a way. Through a hodge podge of unrelated events, other than their filing in the folder labeled "bored nights in," I've given myself a little time to reflect and be inspired. As I read through blogs and twitter, and even the mags, I carved out time to reflect on presenting my own story. I played around with the idea of a narrative theme, addressing the audience as the everpresent second person :: in a Carrie Bradshaw, SATC kind of way:: then I moved to a thematic pictures or meme frame of thought, followed by a few other thoughts. Now I'm thinking, what could be an end result? Where can I allow this to take me? If I aspire to one day soon submit an article to be published in some public way, other than here of course, will chronicling my experiences be helpful? Potentially. If article submissions turn into dreams of novel creation, then what? How would I build my skill to reach this point?

All this, to end on the same point, still unsure about a style or theme to run with but firmly understanding that, especially when I dont feel like it, I have to write. Different styles, a range of topics, put the pen to the pad, or in some cases, the thumbs to the touch screen, and write.

:: Guess if I'm going to achieve my goals, I might want to start setting some::

back for another round

it feels so good to be back!

i feel like its been years since i've posted. honestly, i can say that it's because i lost confidence in what i had to share on this here blog. i was reading through some other posts that i've shared, from this, came that. love, and i stumbled upon a renewed sense of confidence :: lucky me, rite!:: 

i've realized though, that i probably should do some thinking and reshaping of want i want this space to represent for me and what kind of content i want to be shared here. im promising myself that it wont take another year and a half to get there!
