Talislegger has always been a bit of an experimental and experiencial medium for me. I meant the blog to be a way to keep me active as a writer. 10 minutes a day minimum was the rule. If I did nothing else then I would still do this blog. The expectation is I do this until I expire (read: dead man passing into the void). I don’t expect that for a long time. In fact, I expect this will serve as a dream log or diary of sorts where I can track where I was in life at any given time by going to that date and time in the blog.
Once, my partner printed me a year’s worth of blogs. It is among the nicest things ever to be done for me (she holds the top 10 list, btw. all of it). Reading through those after the fact taught me quite a bit about where I was in life and how to move forward. It also showed me the disparity in days where I really had something to say and when I did not. you all know those days. There are the ones where the blog goes on for pages as my fingers fly across the keyboard and there are the others where putting together a paragraph seems more than I can manage.
Over this time I discovered patterns and devised days on which to do certain styles of writing: Waiver Wednesday, Freewrite Friday… So, I think it is time to introduce a new piece to the blog: Turnback Tuesday. That is when I will turn back the clock and look through an older blog at random, reflect on whee I was then vs. now and perhaps how the world was then vs. now. It is a specific way of reflecting that I believe will be helpful to not just me. Also, alliteration.
So, we have three days locked in and four more to shape or not shape as the winds demand. Onward then. Let’s write.
