What this blog is not (and is)

This blog may be somewhat atypical, and, I hope, far from the standard you have come to expect, so let's first cover what expectations you should not have as a reader:

This is not a blog about my life.

• There will be no mentions of any personal information unless necessary for a point I wish to make.
  
• I'm not antisocial – you can email me or leave a comment any time if you want to talk about whatever.
  

This is not a blog about current events.

• I may mention happenings as a case for an interesting idea, but not much more.
  
• News are undeniably interesting.
  

This is not a blog that updates on a schedule.

• The blog is about ideas and dreams. Those rarely come on a schedule, so neither will posts.
  
• I might also get bored with the affair at any time, and I hereby reserve the right to feel no guilt over not updating.
  

This is not a blog with a theme.

• I plan to write on whatever topic fascinates me, and these are many.
  
• While I expect most posts will be about ideas, some may be about stories (fiction), or anything else I feel like.
  

This is not a blog that is stylistically consistent.

• My mood drives my writing style, so it may go from dead serious to very silly in an instant.
  
• There are only two things I promise: good grammar and an attempt at clarity.
  

This is not a blog that pays any attention to lengths of posts.

• If it takes me five thousand words to write what I want, so be it.
  
• I'll try to include a summary of conclusions if I go too long, but no promises.
  

 

"Well then, I've read all the little points and I'm beginning to understand what you're plotting here," you say, "but can you elucidate the matter a tad?"

Why, certainly, voice in my head! In general, I have a very low opinion of blogs, however there is one purpose for which I have determined one of the things can prove useful – to leave a trail of my thoughts. Some few ideas have been bouncing around my head for a time, but writing a story of fiction to narrowly illustrate one point seems painfully contrived (and a lot of work), and writing an essay that only I will read feels somehow empty. Thus, this blog, with the simple aim of putting ideas on virtual paper, whatever form they may assume.

"Oh, but you haven't explained what's with all the anonymity? Are you secretly a crazy privacy nut?"

Nope, or I try not to be. My instinct does tend towards not telling much about myself, but there are actual reasons for it too! This blog is about the ideas, not about me, and I don't want them to be disregarded or favoured based on my sex, age, education, background, or hypothetical lack of any of these!
