I read a post recently that basically said "once you stop posting on social media for awhile it's hard to start again because it feels so 'cringe' to do so" and they aren't wrong. It's really fucking cringe. I'll start writing a post on bsky and the entire time I'm thinking "holy shit this sucks" and then I have to restrain myself from deleting the post afterwards. Do not get me wrong if I did not want to post anything I wouldn't, I only post on bsky because I want to keep up with my mutuals from past websites and there is a part of me that misses microblogging so I'll indulge in it from time to time. I just think it's cringe now. It's okay to be cringe once in awhile.
I'm trying to write more for my blog though, but I feel like I never quite got a hang of writing a blog post. Or maybe I'm so used to how 'modern' blog posts are written, which I don't particularly like! I prefer the casual and personal tone of a Dreamwidth or Tumblr post over whatever usually ends up on the Bear Blog trending section of the discovery page. There's some gems that pop up but a lot of it feels same-y. I'm trying not to emulate that kind of post or writing style but I feel like I am with how formal I am while writing sometimes. I'm also trying not to write about the same topic over and over so moving on.
I need something to write about. I try not to write so much about my personal life on my blog at least since I think it's depressing to be honest! All I have right now is how much I think about my job and how I'm trying to make ends meet every month. I do think I need a new hobby or just something else to occupy my mind with because I am not about to be one of those people who do not have a life outside of work.
I could always start writing about World of Warcraft because I think way too much about it and B thinks I'm really opinionated about the lore and He's not wrong. I did also write some original work with our WoW characters that never saw the light of day and to be honest I'm not opposed to picking up some of those old stories but they'd need a lot of work before I'd share them. That's the most likely thing I'd start writing about though B and I have completely original writing we'd like to share at some point too. and of course I have not forgotten about the Cirque Condensed. I'm still working on writing profiles and I think I might host them here first while I work on the website. Or maybe I'll start info-dumping here. Who knows.
Speaking of my website I do also need to work on it again. I have a lot I want to work on in general but no time or energy to do so right now ๐ I'll get around to it eventually.
