Andrew’s Thoughts

      In order for me to be a successful blogger and reliably make entries in this damn thing, I’m going to need to adopt some kind of systematic writing technique. Once a person has gotten used to sitting down and typing up a bunch of crap about themselves to share with the faceless void that is the Internet, I have heard that this can actually be an enjoyable experience. But, until blogging has become a beloved habit, it seems entirely bothersome. To address my current lack of enthusiasm, I’ve decided that I’m going to try and establish themes to write about for every (week)day of the week (or every other week day, or whatever…). For example, I’m a big ol’ bibliophile, so I can devote my blogging quota every (Mon)day writing about books! Woo! This would give me a fairly direct topic to write about, while still allowing for plenty of wiggle room to throw in surprise twists and keep things interesting (an essential, needed to keep all you lovely reader(s) coming back for more). I could talk about a book that I’m currently reading or one that I want to read in the future or provide expert recommendations, suggesting absolutely thrilling books that you’ve never before heard of. Win.

      So that’s one of the “themes” I’ve decided that I would enjoy writing about. Another topic, in the same general vein, would be music (album, artist, song… whatever I feel like!). I could also post pictures that I’ve taken with my wonderfully advanced and sophisticated camera (ha) during the previous week and delight you with the undoubtedly witty and interesting anecdotes which accompany them.

Books. Music. Photos.

      So these are three ideas that I am confident I could run with, and have exciting, new material to share each and every week! I could do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday thing… that doesn’t sound too challenging, right? And then if anything else interesting happens to me that I feel like sharing, besides all the tomes and tunes and photography, I can just stick it in there wherever.

This is a good idea. I’ll start next Monday. August 10th. Which is also my birthday!
