One

I wrote the earlier post on another blog I tried to commit to. Initially I was going to delete this blog but two things stopped me.

One was that I didn't know how to completely delete a blog.

And two, my old blog had readers, or people checking, reading on it. Maybe as a someone who writes, it is important to have someone or something to write for, aside for myself.


When am I going to start writing stories... The only dates I get these days are updates.

(from another blog, the one and only post)

It's not easy to come up with a story on the spot. Yeah.

I intend to try and write and blog like I used to ten years ago. Here on this Blog. I used to have a blog called misterseventeen.blogspot.com but while it still stands as I'm writing this, I am eventually going to have it deleted permanently. If I can't delete the blog then just the posts will do. Memories from 10 years ago; over 300 posts. All going to be gone.

As I have said earlier, coming up with a story on the spot surely isn't easy. But I am going to give it a try. I have been fascinated by a manga that I've read recently called Domestic na Kanojo, by Sasuga Kei. The protagonist is a bibliophile and has a hobby of writing stories and novels. Seeing how he takes in his life's experiences and turns them into writing material has made me perhaps remember my blog writing days. Back to the days when I really wrote things that had meaning to me. Though looking back at what I wrote gives me plenty of embarrassment reading the thoughts of a juvenile me that I am considering deleting them all.

What will be different this time is that while I used to write down the happenings of my life in a autobiographical way; this time I'm just going to write stories. Stories that may or may not be related to me. I hope that this way, I won't feel to burdened to write every time something happens in my life, or likewise to document the lack of events.


Before I end I suppose I should put a question to myself:
How short should a short story be?
