Authorship.
The reason I start blogging again is because I simply want to lay my thoughts out here. I write on everywhere and at any time, actually. I have a hard cover journal for when I want to do some classic handwriting and thoughts-vomiting. I use the Memo app in my phone and type out all my feelings and whatever. I write using Ms Word and Notepad for when I feel like typing out in a letter form.
The thing is, I think, I have not polished my writing skills for leisure for so long. Back in my high school days almost everyone who had a personal computer and Internet access at home would have an online blog, or at least, my circle of friends definitely did have. It's funny to think of all the write-ups we all did back then; basically reporting their day-to-day activity, expressing their feelings, most of the topics which I'd only write in my personal journal these days. I wonder if they still do actively write in their blog now; because I kept on pressing that reset button for my online profiles. After going through a few rough patches and with combined paranoia towards the Internet and the dark web, I deleted my Facebook, deleted my Twitter account twice or thrice and the same for Instagram. Now I only use Instagram as my social media (and of course, LinkedIn for so-called professional networking platform).
One of the things that triggered me to resort to this platform is that I had a thought of writing a smut. Oh yes, shock inducing much but that was an idea. Of course I'm running dry now. I just wanted to make this one an introductory post. I also had the idea of writing non-fics just like Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. He's probably the only author that I could devour his writings from cover to cover.
I hope this effort will continue anyway. I try to not write anything too personal or heavy but I can't promise but at the same time I hate opening up because it would risk my vulnerability and expose my weakness (introverted much). Other than that, I'll probably share one or two cooking recipes that I repeat so many times in the kitchen and still not bored of it yet and include label "recipe" in the posts; that's the plan.
I think I have not much (not even one) blog follower right now. So this feels more like.. talking to myself and writing down in a journal rather than writing in a blog for people all over the world to see.
