A Grand Adventure

As you may have noticed, I don't post very regularly anymore. And I've come to this conclusion.

There was a time in my life that I think this blog really helped me. I was able to create different blog designs, which heaven knows I adore creating things over and over. With each template I got better. I also had a chance to explore my voice. Obviously I don't mean my literarl voice, but my voice of writing when just talking about everyday life. I dunno what other's think, but I like it. I can see a change in how I talk from my old posts. I think this blog has helped me a lot.

Now don't get worried here, I'm not closing this blog down. I just wanted to let my few followers know that I won't be posting very often. This way it's more official. My time of using this journal blog may be coming to a close, maybe not. What I do know, is that I'm not going to be posting regularly, though I'm sure I'll pop on here from time to time. I still love this blog.

Now I'm moving onto a new project. The kind of blog I've tried and failed to have before. But this time I'm doing it a little differently. I'm still designing the blog (and having wayyy too much fun doing it). It's going to have a more particular theme, and yet I'm retaining the freedom to write like this blog. Like a journal. Because writing factual posts that are perfect and pretty turns me off. Granted, I've done that with history posts, and I do enjoy it. But if I had to do it regularly it would become a chore, more than a fun blog.

This new blog will detail a few prominent things that are coming out in me. My interest in homesteading, and eating healthy (possibly with some equestrian stuff on the side). It doesn't have an exact theme, but I want to write specifically about all my adventures in getting chickens again, gardening, and all the building projects I'm hoping to do. I want to find recipes and compile them, as well as possibly try and make my own recipes (never really done that before, so that'll be interesting). Since the new year I've gone off processed sugars, and dairy. I don't plan on ever going back on, and these past two days I went through the baking craze of my life. Even though it was healthy, I still felt sick because I ate only that. Not good.

So that's the plan with my new blog. I want to try and post regularly on it, which is also a reason as to why this blog is halfway shutting down. I know all too well that keeping up with two blogs is tough (tried it. Didn't work). It's a lot of writing, and brainwork. Even if I'm just writing like I am now, about life events. Not to mention the fact that I want to write all twelve or whatever number of novels sometime in my lifetime, and that's more time writing. Besides, this new blog can factor in a little bit of my normal life. It just won't focus on it.

And so I end this post saying, it has been a grand adventure with this and my old blog. I will cherish all the memories I have recorded, and from time to time I will add on. But I think a new chapter of my life is starting. 2016 feels like something fresh. And I can't wait to explore it.
