Short Form

I'm taking a few pointers from some bloggers and really trying to commit to a short form approach to these posts. For one, it makes blogging all the easier. :P Secondly, well... there's nothing much more to say than that. ;) I'm just much more likely to approach this thing with a positive attitude if I know it's not going to take a shit load of my time... I don't want it to seem like a chore. Also, I've said before it's the sorta approach I appreciate from other blogger and vloggers. Sometimes short is sweet. ;)

Then again, I do want to rant on about certain things but I just don't see myself really going out of the way to plan something long form. I think the longer something is, the more structured it should be. And pinning down a structure for me means a whole lotta pre-drafting. And drafting sometimes seems like... well it doesn't "seem" like, it's definitely double or triple the workload. Ugh, being a source of media is a lot harder than I thought. It's so ridiculous when you think about what I'm outputting *L*. I'm not changing the world in any major way with my nonsense. But, I do want to be proud of what I put out there when I look back at it all. In fact, I've sorta considered this entire year-long project as one huge drafting session. I imagine the years after, I'll still be blogging. But I want to refine the things I've touched upon in more detailed articles. Y'know how stories change. Or maybe they don't exactly "change", but I know I can tell the same story over and over again adding something subtle to help enhance a certain perspective. Things are never as simple as they seem. And words can't always capture a moment or thought the way we would hope. My hope is that after months or years of poring over my material I'll drill down to the essence of what I mean to say. To what end? I guess this entire project is about voicing myself. Defining who I am. Painting a picture of who and what I am. These posts so far only offer glimpses of something more grand and complicated. But I believe that's the case with everyone, a struggle we all face... in any medium.

DS333, pondering.
