Whelp, there's no getting rid of me here

[witchpoetdreamer]

I've had this blog for like a week now and I just know I'm here to stay. My approach to blogging have been severely influenced by career bloggers, so if I had something to say, it would take everything I had for me not to make it into a draft, then polish the draft to my best abilities, then hit post and continue to scan the post for any typos I might've missed. Tumblr helped somewhat to curb the habit, but even then, the opportunity to reblog something instead of creating my own thing made it so I would keep my words to myself. After all, if somebody said it better, why would I make the effort, especially since it would fall into the void anyway?

Well, turns out, I really love this void. It's my void, and sometimes it does answer back! I've felt more creative, thinking about things I want to make, things I want to share about. Being here is a lot more about creating than it is about consuming, and it makes my heart happy. And unlike other more "writerly" type of blogging (aka having my own domain/substack/etc), I don't put pressure on myself to post regularly. I do because I want to, and I'm excited to!

Maybe one day I'll write about my experience as an aspiring writer. I've been at it on and off for the past... oh two decades or so.

All this to say, I'm not going anywhere. I've found my space online, and it makes me so happy to have it at last! Thank you to everyone who's already been interacting with me, you've been a great help!
