But also, here is my pledge:
To actually write on here. Regularly. No matter the triviality. Several times a week.
Sometimes I'll just have a small rant, because I could do with a rant at times and venting myself out to the faceless masses is probably going to be quite cathartic.
More frequently I'll try and post something with a bit more substance. A review. An analysis. I read books, I play games, I even dabble in the occasional film or TV show, so I'll try and write about what I know.
As Stephen Fry suggests here, for example.
Now there are two ulterior motives for me writing this:
Firstly, it will get me into the habit of writing with regularity. I tried writing a novel some time ago and got about a page in before I started re-writing the same page again and again. This won't do, and I subsequently gave up because I was getting nowhere. At the very least I can now aim to actually produce something readable in a short time frame.
Secondly, it means that I won't be one of those people who constantly pops up on Facebook with a long and rambling diatribe bemoaning some injustice in the world that is most likely just a minor niggle that is being blown out of proportion. Instead, I'll just be one of those annoying people who pops up announcing he has made a new blog post... though at the very least I can attempt to rein that in and only publicise the posts I'm especially proud of.
So anyway, welcome to the blog.
