Quick Summary

So, a quick summary of what I had written for 2007:
  1. 256 poems written & published here
  2. 191 rants/prose written & published here
And thus, the grand total of writing is about 447 articles, up from the 152 from 2006.

That is an average of about 1.2 pieces of writing a day. I think that if I don't actually have any improvements in writing, then something must have gone really wrong somewhere. 2007 was definitely one year where I had many issues which required me to vent out on via writing.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to further stream the writing that is occurring in this particular blog. Originally conceived as both a prose-and-rant type of blog, I am now going to specialise this blog to a rant-only blog, while this will serve as the new prose-only blog.

Other modifications include the shifting of the flagship from the poetry one to rant one. Honestly, I've done my book-keeping, and I realise that most folks are still as gossipy as before and would rather spend time reading rants than pieces of poetry, hence the shift. Other notable changes include the consolidation of friends' links to one place instead of maintaining one on each blog.

A rather minor fix was to edit the setting of the archive of old poems on the old forums to better gel in with the rest of the blogs, as well as to put in some links to the more modern incarnations of the blogs in case folks [accidentally] stumble upon it and actually want to see what I've been up to recently.

Most of the fixes are internal, so everything should be going well. Meanwhile, my target for this year will be to spend more time writing fictional episodes, spend less time on rants, and spend roughly the same amount of time on my poems.

Who knows? Maybe I can start compiling what I've written into a more tangible form. Meanwhile, this bears repeating:
Disclaimer: All views expressed in this blog are #1 mine and mine alone unless otherwise indicated and #2 are consistent only at the time of publication of the particular entry. Specifically, do not take my views as the views of the general populace, and do not attempt to chastise me for taking a different stance from before.
Again, what I'm trying to say is that all views are temporal in nature, and should be taken in context.

Alright, it's already 6 am in the morning, and I am still awake. Damn I need to get some sleep, otherwise I'm probably not going to be getting any at all.

Until next time.
