A Decade On! 10 Years in the Blogosphere (kind of)!

 (Apologies, missed by a day, and posting from mobile.)


Oh, hi there!

Guess what? I'm not dead!

And neither are the ideas in my head. The last post I have on here (Changes Are On the Wind...) still very much rings true -- it's just going to be (significantly) longer than I originally planned for.

When I wrote that, I intended to finish Nightfall, my poetry book, and then get started on my new writing home. Honestly, that's still the plan, but even just finishing the book is taking... eons.

It'll happen in due time.

I'm going through and revising all of my old poems, which I was hesitant at first to do, since they are a part of my history at this point. But it has really made a positive difference -- and I still have all the originals saved! So I can always bring them back out if, for some oddball reason, I want to do that.

But I'm enjoying the slow (as balls) journey. Going at my pace, doing a little bit here and there, progressing slowly, but surely.

Nothing wrong with that.

I didn't post for EoN's blogiversary last year, which was a first. I intended to, but I never made it. I let it pass, as there really wouldn't be anything of importance to cover, anyway. Another year of inactivity lol.

But, I knew this year was a special year for Edge of Night... And I fully intended to make this one.

Magnificent Seven -- Seven Years of EoN!


...And perhaps the last.

Hm. Too soon to say on that one, but I do feel a major change is approaching!

More on that later...


Hello, hello!! It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Especially considering that my last post here was this blog's 6-year anniversary... Bad Eve.

That one was late, too, but at least I did better this time around lol.


I've missed it here, dearly! I have. I still find myself writing every so often, bits and pieces... But I can't quite seem to finish any of them. Even ones that I've had going for years (honestly, especially not those!). I have no lack of material, and finding time to sit awhile and think, or even just a few minutes to jot down a few words here and there -- isn't really an issue. I've been doing plenty of the former, and I think that's where my problem lies; I've been thinking about a lot things, too much. Too much rattling around in there to feel anything concretely, and certainly it leaves me mentally exhausted after a while. I don't want to do anything

Except, I do... And I don't.

It's complicated. And it sucks. Come onnn, figure yourself out. *bonks self on the head* 😏

Life, huh? Now that thing can get complicated.

Past the Halfway Mark -- 6 Years in the Blogosphere!


Over a month late, but at least it's out. Happy birthday, Edge of Night!

Well howdy ho!

Long time no see, eh? How have you all been? Ignoring the massive, flaming dumpster fire that is the world at the moment, I hope life is treating you as well as it possibly can. It's been an absolutely...

Uh.

It's been a year. We'll just go with that. It's been something of a special year.

And in that year, I've missed being here dearly -- this blog was, for several years of my life, a big part of me. And, because of that, it will remain a part of me for the rest of my days... in whatever capacity that may be, from an active hobby and place to share and practice, to the pleasant memory of a place that allowed me to grow, hone my skills a little, and find a little bit of myself. It, and all of you along the way (because I wouldn't have made it this long without your lovely interactions), have surely earned a special place in my heart.

Tidings of Spring: A Letter to Myself


The following is a personal letter I've written to myself. This is a new type of post idea I'm trying out; similar to a journal entry, but in letter form. Just to clarify, this is neither a poem nor a short story, but a personal work of nonfiction.

I've provided only enough context, explanatory detail as would be appropriate for an actual letter written to and for myself -- because of that, some parts might be confusing. Names, places, etc., have either been changed or simply redacted (gotta have some fun with it!) for privacy reasons. Basically, this is mostly for me; but perhaps you might enjoy it, too! :)
