I couldn’t settle on what to post today. I was looking back through previous posts, even going back through the old archived stuff, but I quickly realized that at the rate I was going I’d just spend the evening reading old content. So I decided instead of reading my old thoughts, why not just muse about it and post that? Couldn’t hurt for today. I’m honestly too tired for what I had planned this morning.

Looking back on the last year and a half or so, I’ve tried a lot of different approaches to keeping myself posting consistently, everything from relaying news I’m interested in, to quickly dipping in and out of politics. Some days I just threw in the towel and left a small blip on the blog to let the net know I was still alive. I already know what the real secret to consistency is, at least to spurring it on once it starts. It’s the audience. I haven’t lifted a finger to draw traffic to the site because I prefer to finish the building before I invite anyone into it. It’s fine if someone curious comes along and leaves a comment, but I’ve always been a presentation type. If something’s not finished, you’d have to hold me at gunpoint for me to start waving people over to see it. It’s one of those weaknesses I’ll have to have sorted by early 2022, I think.

As for finishing the building, I’d say having things a bit more organized and having a few more of the free stories and some bits of media published here would be good enough. Unfortunately that’s a ways off still. I might have to settle for ‘the beginnings’ of as much as I can and hope that the kind of people I attract lean more toward curiosity and constructive criticism than the dismissive gammas that started flooding the Earth a while back. We’ll see.

I don’t know exactly when I’ll start trying to drive traffic to the Praedian Records, but I’m looking at no later than my birthday this year, so not past winter. No pressure, Phee.
