Time of the Month

by Anni Pon

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #2274705

A monthly blog started June of 2022. *discontinued*

The blog is currently on hiatus, as of July 2023.
Please come back in February 2024.

This blog has officially been discontinued.

However, my monthly writing challenge is still running:

The One-Line Lyric Challenge

[13+]
A musically-inspired challenge with writing prompts posted twice a month. Prizes included!
by Anni Pon

--------------------------------------------

It's that time of the month again. Time to hear all about the general happenings of my life.
Expect puns, quotes, poetry, tips, etc.

Now with the infamous "Myth of the Month" (M.O.M.), where I bust a common myth every month. Just like Myth Busters. With less explosions. Maybe.

(Rated 13+ just in case language or controversial topics arise.)

You need to do what is best for you.

I stopped blogging more intensely personal stuff at the end of last year and converted my blog into a hopefully helpful writing blog.

But if you need to step away, do what is best for you. So long as you're still hanging around WdC, all is good.

Blogging is a bust. My blog collects dust.

I'm tired of begging, shedding, getting hurt.

It has no ambiance, no audience, spare purpose.

Even my focused blogs don't work.

People prefer re-posting memes and monetizing rage;

AI pictures of people and flowers instead of the real thing.

It's the age we live in... sadly.

Newsfeed is a good option. A short blogette for those who want soundbites with a link for those who want more.

Beholden gives good advice.

This all makes me think that we as a community need to do a bit more work to de-emphasize the idea that blogging is strictly about one's personal life. Topical blogs are definitely underrated around here, at least in my opinion. Still, I run my (topical) blog because I want to share the things I find. Maybe that's an option to explore with your blogging: sharing things that catch your eye and fangirling telling the rest of us what makes them so intriguing.

Blogs don't have to be personal. In fact, the most successful ones specialise in particular subjects and the blogger is merely the one who supplies the initial spark to instigate conversation. For instance, your job sounds interesting, especially if you have to explain it to outsiders. A blog built around it is almost guaranteed to do well.

So I'm glad that you're thinking of diversifying from the more personal diary model. Maybe try out a few subjects and then go for the one in which you feel most comfortable.

Kåre Enga in Montana Yeah, these entries take me a lot longer than 10 minutes. But that's what the newsfeed is for. I will do brief check-ins every now and then, don't worry. Sleeping? Yes, but probably not 8 hours. Eating? Maybe while in class. Showering? Well, we'll see.

Thanks Lilli 🧿 ☕ and QPdoll! I will try my best.

Wow! This is exciting and will certainly keep you busy. You will be missed and don't forget to carve some time out for self-care.

A 10 minute check-in would be nice every month; but, if you're like me... nothing is 10 minutes.

Do you plan on sleeping, eating or showering for the next 6 months? Just asking...

In response to "Turning blue in June"

I like the beginning of Spring and Autumn. Growing up, summer was too hot for me; winter too dreary.

In the tropics (Thailand 16 degrees N; Costa Rica 9 degrees N) the end of Cold Season is Hot! Hot and dry and smoky and may be great at a beach but not for me. The rains are a godsend; but by the end... the grey skies and deluge is a tad too much. In both places that would be March-April and September-October... kinda... sorta... I'd rather be in Montana during those months; but, reality has fangs and bites.

I can get a arctic-summer-high. However, that's not good for my balance either. I had to be careful visiting Norway in summer and winter.
