Change!

I needed one. I was really bored, and thought that maybe if I started changing little things, than I would feel better. I hope it works. As you can see, I changed the colors and design here a bit (if you’ve ever came around here you may notice it, if you haven’t than never mind it), thinking that, maybe, it would get me a bit more inspired to blog about something, even if this something was the little change I was making here. Well, it did work, here I am, writing to blog.
And again, if you’ve ever been around here you will notice (or not, I know most people doesn’t) that there’s no counter anymore. That is mostly because it doesn’t matter if I write anything here or not, I always feel like I’m the only one visiting this blog (I can swear that, from the 128 visitors it had up until an hour ago, at least 100 were just me checking if the post had come out the way I wanted it to be, and that’s because my counter was cheap like that… I’m cheap like that… sometimes). So, I’m done with counting visits, it just makes me feel bad thinking that no one reads what I write. From now on, I won’t care about it anymore.
Also, there’s two new links here on the right side, beneath the labels and archive, mostly the labels. One of them, Wordplay, is K. M. Weiland’s blog. If you’re a writer - aspiring or not - if you want some pointers as to what path you should be taking, how to develop your ideas, how to start writing your book; summarizing, anything related to the whole process of writing, revising and editing your work, go there and pay her a visit. She’s just awesome!
The other link, {Courage 2 Create}, is Ollin Morales’s blog. He mostly rants about the downs and up of the whole process of writing and how life always seems to be throwing things his way to bring him down. Things, I’m sure, happen to all of us. If you’re a writer, having some problems writing, go there and read a few of his old posts, you might find out that he’s already been where you are and you can read how he managed the situation (may give you ideas to deal with what you’ve been going through right now). Of course, he also gives some advices on the process of writing. It’s really worth it!
Now, things I found out that are helping a lot on this little change I decided to make. The first one, how it all started, is Ollin’s blog (already gave you the heads up on that). The second is new music. Weezer may not be a new band, but it is new to me, and I’m right now enjoying it a bit while my mind winds down (this one I found out on Ollin’s blog). And there’s also The Frames, also enjoying it while relaxing (this one I just heard at the end of episode 13 of Castle’s 3rd season).
I don’t know where exactly I’m going with this, but if it helps a bit on the creative process it is worth it.
Feel like you need some change? Go for it!
