Why do I write a blog and who do I write for?
Welcome back, I have mentioned (if my memory is not gaslighting me again) a while ago how I changed my perspective of writing a blog and today I want to talk about it a little.
I write this blog for myself. So, typos, broken sentence structures or even words that don't exist yet can all be seen here, before I made it a big deal for myself. Right now, I do a simple M-x flyspell-mode if I am in Emacs and if I am not, well, that sucks, time to use whatever spell checker available in the browser.
Moving on, my blog is about ideas, not look. Obviously, good looks is still a big part of my blog. For example, I would like to make my blog format like this but if I can't, that is not a problem. As you can see in my recent posts.
Lastly, I made a huge deal of how often and how long should I write, but I found out two things. First one is I am not a content creator, therefore I don't have to "lay eggs" (eggs are content in this metaphor) for every n amounts of time, and my content published that way is more of an essay that is written for the deadline feel rather than a blog feel. Secondly, I write much longer when I write about what I want, without having to think about "I haven't posted anything in n days".
Another big deal with me is I want to know if other people heard me, obviously, we have analytics and upvotes (as I call them) for this specific reason. But it is a bottleneck really. I shouldn't care about others or how I would make them feel when I write, instead, I should write because I can.
In the next days, especially in the following days when I can get my hands on my Turkish QWERTY keyboard again (yes, a big reason why I write this blog entirely in English is because of I hate writing in Turkish with US Keyboards) I will write more in Turkish. I would also like to write in Chinese and French. Who knows? Maybe I can develop my writing skills in them too.
Now, let's talk about why I didn't wrote anything for a while.
As you can probably guess if you have read my post before this one, I am living in hell right now. I am positive, as long as we have a democracy, I am indeed positive. But things are affect me maaan.
I mean again I could just not care but I do. I am not ignorant, and it affects me more than I can affect other people, bad. I have found new things to hold on to, though. I started a new Minecraft modpack, well, um, I started nomifactory again.
In three days, I played 13 hours of it. And I am much further than any of my other rounds' ends. It is still an expert pack but at this point it has been a lot since I have played Minecraft so I think I can deal with it.
As always, thank you if you were with me to this day and if you enjoyed me yapping, consider subscribing (see footer) or join my mailing list (I don't actually use it but it feels great seeing people there). Thanks and see ya!
