Dear Dreamwidth

[thepowerofdeath]

I've been here on Dreamwidth for about 6 weeks right now and I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm starting to connect with people which is a little harder than I expected but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I still sometimes overthink what I want to say in reply to someone's post and end up saying nothing. Practice makes perfect though so I'm going to keep working on it, and ask you all to continue to be patient with me.

I didn't have a clear idea of what I was going to write about. I knew this wasn't going to be a diary or daily journal, I have those. I had thought I'd write about my hobbies and interests, but instead this has turned quite fannish and I've been making fairly long rambling posts about things. Meta might be the way this is going and I don't mind that at all. I might look into more about that.

I still want to try turning my hand at writing some fanfiction, but I'm still quite apprehensive there. I don't know if writing about my attempts at writing would be interesting, but I've seen others write about it. A problem shared is a problem halved and all that

I may write a little more about the books I'm reading. I enjoyed seeing the stats for my August writing. I've seen some book-themed link-ups but I'm not sure how interested in those I am, or if anyone else would be either.

So yes, so far so good, I'm enjoying my first attempt at blogging and I think I'll be continuing it!

It's always nice to see a post from you! :) I really enjoy this introspective kind of self-reflexion, especially when it comes to fandoms.

Good luck with fanfic writing, too!

Oh, thank you, I appreciate it

I enjoy your posts very much. I am glad you'll continue! Look forward to the fic!

I'm glad you're enjoying this place. It took me a while to get my head around it too, but it's great so far.

Thank you. Now I just need to get back into the swing after being ill, which is seeming harder than starting in the first place

I tend to journal in phases too. Sometimes I'm not on here too much, or I'm writing in my paper journal very sporadically.
