Me: Hi, my name is Kate and I’m addicted to creating blogs.
Everyone: Hi, Kate!
I have a lot of websites and a lot of blogs. It seems every time I come up with a new obsession, I create a blog for it. I start buying a lot of music and decide to review some of it? I start a music blog. I want to keep track of the books I read? I start a book blog. I come out of the dark ages and become an official Adult Fan of LEGO? I start a LEGO blog. I join a Writers’ Roundtable and try NaNoWriMo? I start a writing blog. I take up Markeroni and photograph historical markers and buildings? I start a travel blog.
I’m great at starting things. I’m a gosh darn pro at starting things. I get a fun idea in my head, I plan. And the planning is thrilling. Then I create. All the plans come together beautifully into a final project I’m happy with: a new blog. I’ll update it religiously. And then not quite as often. And then I sit and stew in the guilt of not having updated it in ages, wondering if it’s worth trying to revive.
The purpose of this blog is for me to tie all my fandom obsessions together in one central place. I also hope to be brutally honest with myself, which I suspect may ring a bell with some people, may inspire discussion, and may be embarrassingly hilarious.
It’s tough being a busy fangirl. Movies, books, tv shows, crafts, games, meetups, cons–when does a girl find time to squeeze in a blog post? I guess we’re about to find out the answer to that question…
