What I learned/What's to come

(This wasn't alphabetical on purpose.)

Well, October is done and over with. I think I had fun writing at first but looking back on what I've written, some of it felt really forced and came out really boring. That was what I was trying to avoid. I remember when I first started blogging, there were other people writing with em and I loved to read the stuff they came up with. I've tried to get other people to start up blogs and a few have. That's really cool and I do plan on continuing to write regularly.

However, writing isn't scratching my creative itch as much as it used to. I've branched out and started baking and doing some simple recipes. Also, I've gone back to my nerdy roots and started painting miniatures as well as creating miniature terrain. It's really fun but I cut my palm open like an idiot today. On that note, I'm considering starting a separate blog for solo wargame, rpg and miniature painting stuff. I'd still post the majority of my nonsensical ramblings here but I think some of the posts I made were not interesting to most people that read this stuff. Wargames and tabletop gaming in general can be very dry to the outside viewer and I certainly am not very good at punching stuff up. I might still do it all here and try to make it interesting. Actually, that might be a good challenge.

I think if I ever do an alphabet challenge again, I'm going to have someone do it with me and set definite ground rules regarding length and topic at the very least. I think a blog a day for a month would be fun but if it's alphabetical, I might just do A-Z with regular updates a few times a week but not daily. To be honest,the alphabetical constraint isn't really that constraining because it's easy to manipulate to one's own leanings. Perhaps it's my own fault because this blog has no real focus and the topics are so open that it's easy to find whatever I want to write about so a topic like "villains" or "movies" or something. With so much choice as to what I should write about, it's a bit overwhelming and I tend to dwell on what I wrote the day before and think about what I could do better or at least differently so at the end, this whole thing became more of a burden than anything else.

It was definitely an interesting experiment, though.
