As longtime readers of mine may know (if there are any of you left out there), I have an on again/off again relationship with this blog. Over the years, there’s been many times when I’ve taken breaks from posting. Sometimes, it’s only a week or two. Other times, like this last one, it’s many months.
The reason I took this latest break was that I felt like I needed to post on this blog. I know I didn’t need to, but I felt like I had to. Because I had that feeling that it was something I had to do, it turned something that should be done for recreation into work. Or a chore. Since I have more than enough of both of those things offline, I stepped away.
I stopped writing blogs. I stopped reading them. Well, regularly, at any rate. I still hopped on every once in a while to check things out, but there were usually weeks in between checks.
While talking to my writing partner Matticus, he told me of his plan to start posting once a week. I thought about it and figured I’d give it a shot. I’m going to steal his idea and post once a week, too. Hopefully, it’ll help get me back into a blogging state of mind. So, starting with this one, I will be putting up a new post every Friday. More than likely, they’ll just be about one of the questions that someone at work has asked about video games/comic books/movies/TV shows. I may change that up as I go along. Who knows?
I’m also going to try to get back into the habit of reading other people’s blogs, too, but that’s probably going to take longer for me to get to because I have a lot of things I’m already reading at the moment. If I don’t get to yours right away, I apologize in advance. If there’s a particular post of yours that you’d like me to read, leave me a link in the comments, and I’ll get to it as soon as I can.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck around despite my absence.
