Thank you! So far, I'm already really enjoying it!
Yes exactly! I always think that too, or sometimes I don't even realize I've abandoned a project until it's too late... Sometimes, I try taking notes, but I can't even be consistent with that! I don't know why most things feel like a chore to me, even though I think these projects would actually make me happy if I could be consistent with them and/or finish them >_> I bought a couple of tiny memo pads recently — I've been (somewhat) using one for daily to-do lists, and I really want to use my second one for dumping all of my thoughts/ideas and color-coding them. Almost like using it as a "second brain", I guess? I think part of why I can't really focus on projects is because I have sooo many things floating around in my mind, and it's so distracting! I spend more time trying not to forget my ideas instead of just. Writing them down. LOL
Thank you for asking about my writing ideas, because even if I have a whole lot of ideas, I think this question could help me with pinpointing what I really want to focus on! Something that I've been really interested in lately is some sort of "media log", where it's a more casual approach to writing reviews. Like, "this is a YouTube channel I've been watching lately, this is why I like it" or "this is an anime I randomly found online, this is what interested me about it" or "I just found a song that I used to listen to years ago, this is why I love it so much"... stuff like that! I also want to do some sort of day-by-day entries, like if something really interesting in my life happens, or if I finish a big project... Basically life updates :D Sometimes, I think about making lengthy and "formal" reviews for things, but I might save those sorts of things for later... I have more ideas, but I think those are the things I want to focus on for now.
And thank you so much! I hope that using this blog could help me — not just with writing, but with keeping up with my routines and projects! I didn't mention it before, but I've considered that I might be the type of person to need some sort of encouragement from others. I just don't have much of a drive to do things on my own, but sometimes I feel more enticed when other people are involved somehow. I always wished I could find others to journal together or do book clubs or watch anime and stuff, because it seems motivating but also really fun! And I also get a sense of accountability, because I can't really hold myself accountable. Like, if I don't finish a drawing, nothing really bad happens, you know?
Sorry for such a lengthy response, I just really appreciated your message and had a lot to say!
