It was hilarious in a way. So one night in November, I was outlining my posts for 2018 (you know how I love scheduling things so I can do more stuff and it’s more organized this way, obviously), and I just got all of these ideas and wrote them all up (upon checking, I have 20+ topics minus the ones I already scheduled (until June, yep, I’m on the roll, people). So I really, really love that I now do scheduling and note-taking; to think I was so averse to the idea before because I foolishly thought it was too “professional” and I didn’t want to view my blog (or this hobby) in that regard.

So yeah, that one night, ideas came like a great cool shower. It was so amusing to me that I ended up typing this post because usually I just come up with one or two topics and then list them down in my notes and get back to them when I have the time to write them down. I think I already said my piece here (just in case you missed it, I explained there how taking notes is essential to an easy blogging routine!). but this was so amazing that I thought it warranted a completely separate post!

Honestly, my topics aren’t always interesting or important, but if I still deem them valuable and think I have something to say about them, I still list them down and type my gut. Of course, some topics get more views (provocative ones do), but since I’m making this shindig for myself and my entertainment, I decided to make a solid rule that if I have something to say regardless of whether it has a great contribution to the world or none (in short, trashy mindless articles just because), I will still write it! The funny thing is, though, that I love all the post ideas I’ve come up with.

After I disassociated myself from the book reviewing world, I began to produce my own unpredictable articles. That was about when the blog was still rainyink, so I guess two years? It wasn’t one painful pull; it was more like steadily and slowly shaping my blog to where it is now! And because I’m out of the cage, I’m free to conceptualize and add posts to my liking. This blog becomes really just a regular personal blog!

Now that I also have more categories to choose from, I’m more open to writing—that’s probably why ideas suddenly burst out! A wide array of topics and thoughts are possible! And I thought I’d run out of things to say! There are tons more! Sometimes I forget how opinionated or verbose I can be! So I sit down one night and think of things to say, and I realize I have so much to say! Still, so much! It is why blogging is my thing!
