Originally, I planned on publishing an article for this month. A birthday gift from me to my readers!
I found articles, videos, and other materials for this project. I ordered some books at the beginning of the month…and it took nearly the entire month for them to arrive to my home. I will not be able to publish the article at this time sensu stricto. But, I will like to discuss about the future of this blog!
A while back, I talked about writing a decade retrospective on the #buildabetterfaketheropod trend. I am still planning on writing about that! I hinted towards a public's perspective on chimpanzee; I might expand on this idea and compare them to the bonobos alongside the gorillas. That article will be worked on down the line, most likely next year, as I want to gather resources for a multi-articles project. Another future article will be vulcanism in paleoart, a subject that oddly hasn't been covered, and it will be published on August 23rd - on Vulcanalia!
Outside of essays and articles, I will publish short stories here. I could make a separate blog for these stories, but it would unnecessary as many of them will be self-contained stories. And I believe this will encourage myself to rebuild my hobby of writing, but my self-confidence.
I've been a worrier for most of my life. I worried about everything, every small and little detail, and this is just not my writing. I worried that I was too undereducated to partake in discussions I was interested in, I worried about being a bore to others, I worried about how I presented myself.
I am tired of this.
I am done with this.
It took control of my interests, my sociability, and worse of all, my time. I have stories and essays to tell and this worrying needs to be pushed away. I must let the boulder roll down if I want to climb out of Tartarus.
