My blog has a direction!?

Because I am so determined not to fail at my New Year’s Resolution to write here once a month (at least), I've been working on three different entries simultaneously, in an attempt to catch up on the posts I've missed. (... This one makes four, actually.) All three of those entries are related to geekiness, in some way, as are the entries I've previously posted.

There’s that old saying/cliche, “Write what you know” - and I probably should have guessed, when I decided I wanted to keep a blog, that geeky topics would be “what I know.” But at the time, I didn't want to limit my blog to just one topic; I was wary of needing everything I would write to fit the “this is me talking about geeky things!” mold. Not only did I want more room to maneuver than that would afford, I honestly didn't think that there would be that much for me to say on the subject. Geekiness seemed to be entering the mainstream - as much as it ever can/will - and plenty of other people were handling any reviews, commentary, etc that I could think of to write.

But lately, as I think about what I've been writing for this blog now that I’m, you know, actually writing for it (... a bit), it seems that my blog has developed a direction on its own, whether I wanted one or not. And the more I think about it, if I keep feeling as if I have something to say on the subject of All Things Geeky - which apparently I do, since that’s what I keep sitting down to write! - and if I keep having the most fun writing on those kinds of topics… maybe it isn't as limiting as I feared, after all. Maybe there’s more for me to say than I thought!

I imagine there may well still be the occasional posts that have nothing to do with geekery - say, if I want to write about somewhere I've traveled recently, or about something I've read that wouldn't “qualify” as a geeky piece of literature, or… etc. I’m just not going to go out of my way to write about anything and everything. I have fun writing about life as a geek - probably because I have fun living life as a geek - and life as a geek is what I know best.

So that’s what you can come to expect from this blog, regardless of anything I may have said in my first entries. (I will update the “About this blog” section, though.) I hope you’ll still come along for the ride!
