Welcome to the Grand Illusion, come on in and see what’s happening; pay the price, get your tickets for the show.
–Styx, “The Grand Illusion”
I’m going to ruin it. Maybe. I haven’t said it out loud, but I thought one way I could get better about writing things was to put something – anything, no matter how crappy – up once a day. If I could at least put one thing up a day, then at least it’s something. And maybe I could even start to do better things since I’d be doing it anyway, so what’s an extra few minutes writing something else. Or even writing ahead of schedule and having something post so I can get ahead of things. And there’s two reasons this is likely to ruin it. One, I’m mentioning it out loud. And two is that my goal was one week, and it’s only been a couple days. Oh well, we’ll see. I will say I’ve got some other ideas that keep popping up, so if I can keep those low-effort posts going then maybe I can use some “other time” to write the higher quality bits and ready them for publication.
(I came up with the post title at the end, and now wish I’d used Nine Inch Nails, “The Ruiner” as the quote. But The Grand Illusion still works I think. After all this is a grand illusion that I’ll actually be prolific here and put up something people would want to read 😀 )
