Hi everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have arrived. Yes. I will be updating this blog much more frequently from now on. I will post about my rant musings, thoughts, behind the scenes and the struggles as I try to make videos, learn about making videos, grow my channel etc. Sometimes I\u2019ll have more polished posts, about my pens, arts, unboxing, inks\u2026 Whatever. But I anticipate more of my posts to be very casual and unpolished. It takes time and effort and energy to make beautiful, polished posts, and energy in particular is rather lacking. And instead of leaving the blog empty as it has been sitting for the past year, I decided to do away with all pretenses of even wanting<\/em> to make this a pretty, perfect site. No. I shall return to my long winded, rumbly roots and take to blogging like I once did in my youth. You can expect to read my thoughts, raw and unfiltered, and share in my joy and struggles\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve always liked to write, and in the past, I\u2019ve kept a dozen blogs. Well, some of them are still around, others like the moblog has died – the service closed down as users moved elsewhere, and only a shell remains on the Wayback Machine. When I discovered fountain pens, I started writing in my diary, in physical, offline journals. And eventually that took up all my spare time and I stopped blogging altogether. But there\u2019s something that I really like about blogging that writing could not give me. Or even writing to pen pals – a hobby I took up near the start of the pandemic, and unfortunately has barely been keeping up with since. It\u2019s different. I certainly enjoy my pens and ink and paper\u2026 Which is why I decided to dedicate my YouTube channel, and this blog, and an instagram account, so the pursuit of such physical things. But blogging is enjoyable on it\u2019s own. I like putting my thoughts out there, shouting it out to the void, and perhaps gaining an audience somewhere along the way. And interacting with said audience through comments. Plus. I don\u2019t need to clear around the truckload of stuff on my desk, dig out my diaries, and refill my pens. I just need my iPad. Or my phone. Or laptop. It\u2019s mostly my iPad these days. And I can write anywhere where there is internet. Like now. At work. Or other times, at home, on my bed, away from my disaster of a desk. And I get to share my thoughts with the world. Whoever who cares to listen anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
