When it comes to the internet, I feel like I have a summer home, a winter home, a city and a countryside hideaway. Or basically that I have no writing limits because I have homes on most of these social networking/blogging websites. Xanga, MySpace, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter...I even have a LiveJournal somewhere. Name dropping, not really necessary. But it is interesting how each of these domains possesses its own set of unspoken conduct codes. Overstep one and everyone will talk about it (if only in their heads). For example, if you spell out your day-to-day boyfriend/girlfriend trials, you're probably not looking too popular, unless your friends are also exactly like you. Not that people view these websites as popularity contests. Not that people are aware of their appearance to others. But in actuality, having a foot in each of these doors is fun (and painful) for various reasons.
Now, it takes something swift and strong to urge me to return to something I had abandoned over a year ago.
This summer's motivation: my internship.
I was inspired and encouraged to revive this little side-project, which saved me from myself the first summer I traveled abroad, also the first major trip I'd made by myself.
Her advice was to become a blogger for the sake of my professional and creative careers. The best part about this is that I'm already a blog enthusiast. I have maintained a personal Xanga since I was 13, and it's helped me develop writing, communication and technical skills.
Though I haven't decided exactly what I should write about, I declare this to be a first step in that direction.
I'm plugged in!
