Wild Wednesday

So many topics…. what should I talk about?

Imbolc. Brigitmas. Candlemas.

The day has several names. We celebrate in early February. It is Brighid’s Day. A day of light and joy. It is the beginning of Spring. (Today)

From here on we will start to see the new shoots of budding plants.

I am an eclectic pagan and I am always open to the gentle discussion about religion…but note that I said gentle. I was kicked out of a “Christian” church because I didn’t fit their idea of a good girl. They never asked me what caused my situation. So I don’t handle people that try to punish me for not being a believer in the same faith as they have well. However I will be fine with civil discourse on the topic.

Wild Wednesday

Starting the Year off with the first actual Wild Wednesday…This should be interesting… Currently I am not even sure what to talk about…I feel like I opened up topics and now I am terrified that I will drive y’all away with my actual interests…Stupid right?

So Let’s Talk Movies. I don’t watch as many as I used to, but I have some defined favorites. I was really into theater as a teen. So many of my favorite movies have technical things that make them amazing.

I want to recommend a movie that I feel has been forgotten. The Uninvited. No, not that new one, but the black and white ghost story from 1944. It not only had an amazing story, but what few effects were used were pulled off flawlessly. I felt like this could have been performed on a stage and still pulled off. It was only mildly scary, which for a ghost story is a good thing, and it had such a sweet story to pull the viewer in.

What movie would you recommend that is mostly unknown? and why?

Wild Wednesday

So, a few posts ago I mentioned thinking about doing some changes to the content of the blog. Wednesday being an area that has been bothering me. While I enjoy talking about Webcomics…I feel like it is a limiting area on me. I am all over the place in my interests and Wednesday should be my day to talk about what I am interested in. By making it more broad the idea that I have nothing to talk about goes down. If nothing else I can do a random post about a cosplay idea I have or talk about a movie I saw or a book I read or or or…I feel like it opens my options up more and maybe makes my blog more interesting to read. I may add an occasional Social Media Sunday in…basically where I do a post about an event I am doing on social media, but for now going into 2023 the blog is going to have Monday Poetry, Tuesday Tunes, Wild Wednesday, Artsy Fartsy Thursday, Friday Share…That seems to be a good change.

Updates, and ideas

So I asked a bit ago for ideas to improve my blog. I had someone choose to send their ideas privately,(Which I am fine with by the way), and I felt the ideas to be brilliant. I have tried to put as many in place as I could. I do not know if I have put them in play completely yet…I am still working on a few of them. It will likely be a work in progress for the next little bit. I am working on getting a routine in place. I want 2023 to be a year where I am organized and have an easier time keeping up with my writing and art. I want the blog to flow without hesitation…I know I don’t work that way…but I am always gonna try.

Those who have followed me for a while know I usually pick a word for each new year. One to be an example for what my goals/plan for the year will be. I think that I will be using a phrase for 2023. My phrase will be “Forward Movement”. The thought is even a baby step is forward movement. I spend too much time beating myself up for stuff that I don’t manage to get done. Things that fall through the cracks. This year I want to focus on the joy of life. The celebration of the things that I do get done. So, I am setting myself up for success.

Belated book Birthday

I am kinda late in posting this… Not Just Another Danny released on December 2nd. Fae Corps Publishing has been wonderful in the marketing of my book. (I just got all taken up and forgot my own blog, apologies)

Time to renew

In November I was able to schedule the blog ahead. However, I was not able to do the normal weekly posts. Not with the daily poetry posts. I enjoyed the poetry posts though, did you? Still, now I am sitting here about to get the week ahead scheduled and I find that I am feeling like I am at a refresh moment. A save spot in a game if you will. It makes me wonder if I should make changes to the themes of my day to day posts. Definitely thinking about if I want to do anything else for the new year.

I would love feedback from the reader of my blog. What would you like to see me talking about in the future? What is not working? I don’t guarantee that I am going to implement the suggestions, but I am going to at least consider them all. I am currently thinking about adding a few things maybe taking a couple of things out. I never do that new year new me thing, but I do have a policy for a yearly word. My word for 2023 is actually a pair. “Forward Progress” I am trying to find a way to improve me, my work, and my life. I spent much of this last year struggling and in a rut. I want to avoid this in the upcoming year.

So, in the interest of Forward Progress, I will ask. What is your opinion on this blog? What should I continue? What is probably better left behind in 2022? What would be a good addition to the blog in the future?
