What I did this Week - 4/22/12

I guess I could talk about how I visited Barnes and Nobles for the first time in my life and found a few books which I bought, all of them sci-fi and have something to do with the games I play; and a manga which I've been wanting to read for a while about creating manga. On top of that, talk about a movie I saw on Friday that to me was hit and miss with a lot of it's jokes, the actors being solid in there roles, at least to me. As for how it affects me, it doesn't. It's just another form of entertainment for me to enjoy without ever having to learn anything. But a lot of that probably wouldn't seem interesting to the people I'm expressing myself to. You see what I did? I summed up my thoughts in a few sentences. Run-on sentences, but I summed them up. That's a bad habit I've gotten into when it comes to typing anything; the run-on sentences. But then again, I'm no literature expert, so I don't even know if they count as run-on or not. And that's what this post will boil down to: the fact that I can't write for jack squat. Sure, I can come up with ideas on the fly, but putting them to paper and wording it in a way that makes it interesting for the target reader is hard in itself. It's much more difficult than I had anticipated, and as such it can be downright boring or uninteresting to look at and read. Sometimes I can just write as it comes off the top of my head easily, and some days I have to actually put a lot of thought into them. And most of the time, I'm set with a schedule I have to keep up with and complete a blog as just another means to an end. And that's not what blogging means to me. Blogging should be a way for me to have a little fun, practice my writing, express myself the way I want to, and just overall get better at it so I can enjoy it more. If I have to force myself at the end of each and every single week to write a blog post just because some guy told me to do so, then I can't do it. It irritates me to just talk about a movie that NO ONE else that reads this blog even knows what I'm talking about. Movie is Three Stooges, by the way. It's certainly not very good to talk about manga, and half the people that I have reading the blog have no clue what manga is. Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate everyone that views this blog and the TWO people that actually commented on it, but I can't continue to make blogs if I can't write about the stuff I want to say. All I really want is for people to look at my work and tell me what I can do to improve it. That is all. I'm not asking for people to ALWAYS comment on my work, just a few things that'll help me be better as a writer. I shouldn't have to explain to people what I'm talking about. The audience I want to target should be able to look up what I'm talking about without me having to explain what a manga actually is. It's a comic made in Japan. See? Wasn't that so damn informative? You'd find a lot better info on the subject online than you would from me. I just want to express my opinions on the subject, not have to explain what the object is. How in the hell did I get more than 47 views from just writing about the process of cooking rather than writing about something I enjoyed in general or enjoyed doing that week? It bugs me to think that THIS is what people are more interested in. I don't even have the type of audience who is into the type of stuff I'm into, so what the hell is even the point of writing these blogs? I guess it's just another one of those things for me to think about for later. And that's what's up.
