Well, new beginnings of a sort anyway! I’ve decided to change the look of my blog. I’ve gone for this slightly unfinished look, as I feel that is how my thoughts are at the moment. Not that my thoughts are unfinished as in ‘ooh, look at that over ther…’ but that they aren’t quite as refined as they could be.
I always intended this blog to be a place where I could get to know myself better. To be able to see which areas of my life would need to be improved by writing about, generally, anything, and to see where those ramblings take me.
Through my thoughts, I’ve been back in the past and in the far flung future, I’ve been in parallel dimensions, I’ve been both inside and outside (at the same time!) of paradoxes, I’ve found things that I can write about with ease, and I’ve found some things very difficult to put into the words that I want to use.
So, one thing I need to work on is finding, or rather, defining and developing further my own style of writing. I’ve experimented with many different styles of writing; some have worked and some haven’t. I’ve attempted various ways of getting my thoughts (and myself) to become more open to ideas so that I can write at least one blog post a day. And I’ve managed this part OK. Possibly at times my writing has been better than others, but I’ve managed it.
As the main focus of my blog has been about ‘me’, or rather my view of everything in existence, I am not limited to what I can write about. I am limited by the amount of knowledge I have on many topics, but I have ways of finding the information that I need. I do not have to understand what I am writing about to be able to write about it, but sometimes it helps. Imagine a comic book writer, or a novelist, writing about their character, who happens to be the cleverest man on the planet. A genius scientist. A man with a vast knowledge of science, history, music, life, dimensions, existence and mythology. The writer will not know about all of these things in great detail, but his creation, the genius, does. Does this then make the writer the cleverest man on the planet? I may be trying on a pair of extremely large boots here, but I want to be that writer. I wouldn’t mind being the genius scientist either, for that matter, but first things first. One step at a time. Let’s start with the writing. Let’s start with me.
I have learned that I am not the centre of the universe, although I am at the centre of my universe. The whole of existence revolves around me, not to be there just for whatever I need, but to be there to show me the way forward. To bring things into my life to inspire me. To help me to be happy. To tell me when things are not quite as right as they should be. To give me a gentle nudge and say “It’s up to you to make a change here!”, and then to provide the things – the tools – that I need to make that change.
Hence this change to my blog. Not a major earth-shattering change by any account, but it is a start. A change is as good as a rest.
OK, then. I’ve changed the curtains, carpets and wallpaper. I’ve donned some new clothes. I’m still me inside. The same thoughts are within (or around) my mind. I want my writing to improve immensely over the next few months, and a lick of paint will not make any difference to my writing. Practice makes perfect. And if I keep practicing, perfection is in my sight!
For those who are with me on this journey of discovery, thank you for bearing with me. Knowing that you read my posts provides me with a boost to continue posting them. I can honestly say that I have never written as much in my life as I have over the past few months, and I look forward to the millions of words I am going to be using in the coming months.
