Writing is a therapeutic endeavour
I don't even mind filling up the site like this to help it look less bare at the beginning.
The notifications are coming thick and fast at the moment for the people unfortunate enough to be friends and family. Updates to pieces here, a repost there, some inane observation shortly after a deep-dive and researched piece into the human mind. One of the things that many have to do when they move their work or for others begin to write it, is that you end up with a site that looks like a city sign in a no gun control area.
There are holes - everywhere.
I’m currently powered mostly by determination but slightly by caffeine so you’ll see posts arriving in pairs. Need to see what the masonry (that’s the way the site looks itself in post sections) looks like?
Write a post.
Need to fill up a section to see where the menus and sidebars should go?
Write a post.
Want to try and keep your sanity so you don’t look at the site and think it’s crap, then ultimately delete it and start again?
You got it.
Write a post.
I’ve put on some of my university pieces and mostly in their unedited state. I think it’s often better to show the process than the product, especially seeing as I’m not expecting to start swinging carrier bags out of the door, and books off the shelves. Sure, some of it is rough and ready but that is ok. Really.
You’ll see there’s a bit more of a mix of work on here than you could realistically try and pare down and I’ve never been a fan of segmenting things anyway, just like I hate doing it to myself. There’s LGBT stuff, fantasy, journals, science-fiction (coming soon as of this post), and it’s all just being flung into the one place. Pick what you like, discard the rest.
Oh, also, if you don’t like the LGBT stuff (just real life from my perspective) then I’m pretty sure you can distinguish what’s what, if you were fragile enough to have to.
Anyway, this post should have served its function. I’ve put on paid for some things but most of it is specifically unpaid. I don’t see things going paid really until I’m some monstrous millionaire with an ego to match, but in all seriousness having the function turned off precludes someone making the decision to become a paid subscriber, just to make my day.
For the rest of you. As you were.
Enjoy x
