(no subject)

lately i've been writing a little more than usual, though it has not really meant progress in any one specific thing so much as starting various things that I will probably never finish. this is less than ideal, but it seems likely better than not writing anything at all; i enjoy the process, it's a nice kind of mental stimulation I don't get by default, and hopefully with enough practice i will in fact get to the point that i can write more than a few thousand words of a thing before abandoning it forever. I don't know that it will, but it's not like anything else I was doing was any better at moving forward on that goal and it seems worth trying

i am thinking about having somewhere to put stories, because talking about these things is fun, but, well. they're not good and I have a hard time imagining anyone would care. so i go back and forth on this. possibly i should have a dedicated writing blog and post bits and pieces there and let people self filter; possibly it's a pointless effort and i should wait until i manage to make something i'm happy to tell people "hey, read this"
