I think I've mentioned a couple or so times before that I write stories, which usually makes up a good majority of the time that I fail to write here on the blog. While I do like being able to be long-winded about the things I do with the theme of my blog (as much as I enjoy doing that stuff), it's difficult to maintain a balance.
I suppose in more clarity, I become more focused on something that I don't want to do anything else, or feel like doing anything else... Something like that I think.
Story-writing is indeed important to me (as you all are able to see with my periods of absence), but it is as equally important to me as all the projects and tinkering I do. I won't say "I don't have time for everything", but I will say that it's somewhat difficult for me to make time for it all when working a full-time job.
During my couple years of unemployment, it was nice to be able to do what I wanted to do, in between looking for employment, but there's so much tinkering that can be done before money becomes an issue. I remember having some project I wanted to try/make, but didn't have the money for any of the parts.
While I'm buried with all the projects and stories that I want to work on, I can't really curse work for it, as it is the catalyst that better taught me about electronics that has sparked many of my electronic projects; I'm sure it's fairly noticeable by now.
I definitely understand those who wish they had multiple bodies, as I do wish that a bit at this moment with so many things I want to work on.
Anyway, as I said in a previous post, I had gotten into Pokémon Sun for a couple hundred hours, as I was utilising it to take a break from the story I was mainly working on to be able to re-sensitise myself to a certain aspect of the story. But after things slowed down when I reached the endgame content for Pokémon Sun, I haven't been compelled to work on the story again.
I had started a couple other stories, one of which I finished since it was something short, but I still wasn't compelled to write. Eventually I remembered that I had quite a few updates to write about, and thus began my posting spree here.
Honestly, I was subconsciously hoping that I would be able to work on the projects I ordered parts for to hopefully "get it out", but things didn't work out that way with the relay on backorder.
I don't want to say that I'm going to discontinue the blog or the things I do (again, related to this blog's theme), but it does feel difficult sometimes to keep up with everything. I'm not entirely sure who or how many people actually take the time to read what I have to say and/or what I've done (since I don't really know how to interpret the traffic and view counts), but I definitely do appreciate it, even though I never see any comments/feedback or whatnot.
I doubt I will move my blog to a different platform either, since I feel that it's not going to be much different somewhere else (in terms of views, comments, and stuff), but if I do end up doing so, I'm obviously not going to migrate all 300 something of my posts (I think 300 something is accurate? XD).
I might give the "favourite links" its own page and remove it from the sidebar, since it slowly grows with the things I do... It would also allow me to give my description of the site the link is to. Might be a bit of a project, but I think it may be for the greater good of the blog (Is there such a thing? XD).
I think I'm finished ranting. I apologise for speaking my mind a bit with something completely unrelated to this blog's theme, but I did want to explain a bit about my recent absence (as well as previous and future absences). It also did help me understand my thoughts and feelings a bit better, so I actually want to apologise if it sounded a bit melancholy and maybe a bit too personal.
Anyway, I'm done with my blog-posting spree for now, and unless I find an article to write about, I'll be back posting again in March.
