OK, well it’s been 41 days since I said I was going to do some more posting and I have posted precisely once. Not that anyone is waiting around for me to start doing some daily writing again, but this is a wonderful example of what happens when you set VAPID goals. I don’t really have a good excuse that doesn’t sound like an excuse (but it boils down to: lack of time & mental energy). Point is, I was serious that I wanted to get back in the habit of writing, but the execution has has been lacking. I do have a bunch of stuff half-written. And maybe once a day was ambitious even if I have no scope.
Well anyway I’m not as young as I once was and it may take this train a while to get up to speed. But on the agenda:
- Lots of stuff about being 40, an age which I have somehow arrived at. Nothing like having a midlife crises or lamenting my lost youth or whatever, mostly like in the vein of: how is this possible? I thought I was like, 25.
- Various thoughts before and after the August 21 eclipse. I’ve been excited for it for years, and will be traveling to see it.
And, yup,
- Reviews of Deep Space Nine episodes. Just started watching. Because I have still not gotten around to confirming if there are already capsule reviews of Star Trek episodes online.
I’m still reading! I’m happy to read whatever you feel like writing. Looking forward to DS9, and the other topics sound interesting as well. But I mean, don’t write them if you don’t feel like it. Do what you want. It’s a hobby, right? Anyway, congrats on 40. I’m 42, which is a great year to have a Douglas Adams themed birthday party. So you’ve still got something to look forward to.
Hey Ethan! Glad to have you around still. Hope life is treating you well. I guess I’m feeling out what I want to do with this. It’s a goal for this decade (I mean, no hurry) to figure out whether I’m ever going to get serious about writing. I really believe anything helps, even stupid capsule reviews of Star Trek episodes. And if that’s all this ends up being, well, what else is new?
