This is my 100th post! I feel old. I also feel the sudden urge to conduct a KPI and make development plan. Obviously I wont be doing that. But I have been thinking about the direction that In My Shoes will be taking.
I have thought about reigning in my flighty writing and refining my style. I have thought and thought and I have decided...that I wont. In my "academic" life, sure I can up my game, but I do not want In My Shoes, to become an outlet that I have to think about.
I write, how I think, and that is how it should be - for me at least. I am not naturally academic, it is something that I have to work really, really hard at when I'm studying. I have extreme respect for people who are able to uphold the correct conventions of the English Language at all times - but I am not one of them, and In My Shoes reflects that. I am bad at Spelling, Grammar & Syntax - and yes, I am an English Literature Major. I love certain forms literature, and at times can lose myself in a text completely. But the most important thing I have learnt through studying, is that is important to draw a distinction between your spheres of life. Work, Study, Family, Friends, Love & Health all are handled differently, even if just slightly. In My Shoes, for me, is a distinction of my character between all of these spheres.
I started blogging, to share my thoughts, and for some cathartic progression. For as long as In My Shoes exists, I will endeavour to serve both of these purposes. I thank you whole hearted, for reading along for the ride, and for your kind words of encouragement, support & sympathy. I hope that you can appreciate that, and read me as I am,
As for the post titles from here on in:
I will not be naming posts in a clear and descriptive manner. It's too hard for me to come up with a post title on my own, whilst maintaining emotional control.
- I will "go-with-the-flow", in a theme-less way.
- I will be naming posts after books, songs, albums, using lyrics, lines and quotes.
- I will place a related link.
That's enough words for now, here are some snapshots of my first 99 posts.
