It’s funny how squirrelly I get when I don’t write anything for two months. Lately, I’ve even been thinking in poems. POEMS! I thought I gave that nonsense up years ago. Poetry is the worst.
I miss writing, a lot. But I’ve also been doing quite a bit of thinking about what the heck I am doing here on Bailing Bucket. Well, I’d like to move in two directions:
- Share more links and neat stuff
- Create prepared, well written and bitchin’ stories
Sharing is caring
Let’s just get this out of the way—I am way cooler/nerdier than almost everyone who reads this blog. By that I mean, when you share a funny video on Facebook I probably saw it a week before. Don’t let it get you down. It’s not really that cool to be part of the internet 31337 (elite). The sad part is, I’m not even in the upper echelons of the web. Those are the Digg kids and no one wants to be a Digg kid. But I figure I am in the first 500,000 to see most neat stuff online. It’s rare that I miss something.
In any case, in order to help you be web cool and because the web is all about sharing, I’m going to share more fun stuff.
Writing thoughtfully
I’d like to move towards producing solid, well-crafted stories. My time at NETELLER, as a copywriter, was great to get me back into working on writing. Now, working for up!, it’s taught me a lot about editing and developing ideas. I think this blog could easily just be a place where I come and recite my day, but I think in order to be successful it’s not necessarily frequency but quality. My goal is to write one solid story a week and actively grow readers as possible (that’s where I’ll need your help (if you like what you’re reading)).
That’s all for now. More to come. Also, I’ll try and finish that SXSW Live Blog.
