This is Geoff Black, blkrthdrms. You are that interesting from the posts I've read. Why did you give up blogging? Please… consider returning. You are that interesting.
Hey man! I actually quit blogging because I no longer felt I could express myself freely here. I was being policed pretty hard by people in my life, and every time I posted something, someone would get offended, despite not a single word of it being about them. So I quit. And my life got kinda boring. And I fell out of the habit. And then when things got better, I wasn't in the habit and all my regular readers had fled in search of other, more interesting material. Or material at all.
I'm gonna be posting again soon. Maybe I'll make a new habit of it.
Part of my problem is that I can't decide what form this blog should take, and I don't want to do all the work to start several. I'd like to write about Tarot. I'd like to write about board games. I'd like to write about video games. I'd like to not have to categorize things and just put it all in one place, but that's messy. So I just don't.
But for the whole month of April, it'll be a grab bag of goodness here. And by goodness I mean probable mediocrity.
Hey, Justin! Thank you for such an extensive and considered reply. :-) Now I can understand your decision. But I am so glad you have begun blogging again! My personal opinion is that an open blog without categories is just fine. You can categorize later if you fel inclined. The most important thing is that you are writing! Whatever you feel like writing, I feel like reading. And make a new habit of it, for sure. :-)
Thus far I've graduated college with an English degree (read: I work in a bank), come out to friends and family (read: I'm gay), accompanied my boyfriend of seven years to all kinds of sweet events (read: I'm taken), and managed not to make too many enemies in the whole process. Life is...
