And…wow. I start off by putting up this big announcement that I am *back to blogging once again*, and then I don’t post another entry for what–2 weeks? It certainly feels that long to me. Way to keep my fledgling readership on the edge of their seats.
If I keep this up, we may be talking folding chairs.
So what’s the deal, here? Well, first of all, this is not necessarily something I am going to be able to post on like clockwork, every 7 days, although I wish that were the case. I’ve had to give up my career because of being unable to guarantee such things, anymore (more on this topic, later), so I cannot do as a blogger what I used to do in the world of academia.
Heart-breaking as that is.
Second of all, in this particular case, I had a combination of illness plus technical failure gang up on me, and there was no getting ‘round it ‘til now. This is where I am–Google Docs is saving the day (might as well give them credit).
One More Important Bit Of Blog Business (well, not really all that important):
If anyone has noticed, I have tinkered a bit with the title of the blog. I did that, in fact, less than a day after starting it, partially because I can be quite indecisive about things like this, but also because I didn’t think it quite captured the nature of what I am trying to do.
‘Experiencing changing perspectives’ sounded far too inspirational for me.
While this is certainly going to be about facing things–because I’m always having to do that, and I am planning on being quite blunt about that in here–this is not about “getting people to face their personal demons”, or “find their true selves”, because I wouldn’t presume.
Hell, I can’t even find my phone half the time.
So it’s still Changing Lenses, but ‘not your usual viewpoint’ fits it much better as a subtitle, not simply because the way I look at things tends to be quite different from the way others see them, given various things about me and my background (again, more on this topic, later), but because everyone’s viewpoint is unique. (Oh, geez…now I’m edging over towards the inspirational again). Nothing wrong with inspirational, mind you. It’s just not really who I am.
Okay, The Blog Entry So Far: I’ve told you why I haven’t posted sooner, and why I changed the subtitle.
Fascinating.
The question is: am I actually going to write about anything, today? Shall I save true content for another post, and just put them up in rapid succession, so I don’t risk putting my audience to sleep? I’m thinking that might be a good idea.
I promise. No kidding. I truly do write about things other than the thing I’ve created to write about things.
