I made a blog
So I've decided to make a blog
With the death of cohost a lot of people are moving on to different platforms or making their own blogs. I'm personally a lot more a fan off the second since cohost kind off showed me how much I hate "traditional" social media and if I'm gonna get over the anxiety of posting I'm not gonna limit myself to 140 (or however many) characters.
Which got me thinking if I should make my own blog, at first I didn't really feel like it made a lot sense to do so, considering:
- I never post
I think I made a grand total of 2 chosts and shared like 5 others in my 2 years or so on cohost - I have (almost) no followers
I think I have like 4 followers on there, which makes sense considering I never post - I kind off hate writing
This is probably the most important one and also part of why I never post (the other being my social anxiety). I don't like super hate writing it's more just that I kind off struggle turning my collections of thoughts into a coherent piece of text. And then I get frustrated and just give up.
But there are a few things that I was thinking about writing chosts about, but like doing it on there now before it shuts down felt a bit pointless and I didn't want those thoughts to just disappear or only survive as like text docs on my pc.
So a blog it is.
The more I think about it the less I kind off hate it. Like in terms of my social anxiety having a place where I can just post stuff and people might read it but doesn't require any kind off social interaction and I don't have any metrics to worry about how good or bad my post is doing is kind off a relief.
Also I do kind off want to stop hating writing and I think part of that is getting better at it by just being bad at it for a while and this seems like a pretty low stakes place to do so. And I don't think my writing is actually that bad it's more so (I think) that I have an unrealistic standard of what I think I should be capable off and I think I need to train being okay with not hitting that and just having rambling posts.
So what were those things that I was thinking writing about?
- A post mortem for Meet Your End
About a year ago I made a game I like and (I think) nobody played it. I have feelings about that. - My feelings on cozy farming games
There are a lot of cozy games about farming and as someone who grew up on a farm I have (not so cozy) feelings about that.
I can't promise you that I'll definitely post about this, maybe I'll lose interest, or won't be able to write something I feel happy about or my anxiety will kick in. But these are things that I currently want to write something about so we'll see what happens.
