Goddess, I Am.

After being ‘quiet’ for the past 7 months or so, I’m finally blogging again. I’m ecstatic, and I’m hoping, so are my readership.

So why haven’t I been blogging? Several reasons, really. First, I started working online full-time, and you could say that I went right off writing for myself when I was writing 4-5 articles and editing even more per day. It was such an overload that Word kept making me want to throw up. Second, I developed a bit of a phobia that people will just keep hating everything that I write in the aftermath of all the rather scathing criticism I’ve had to endure in one of my old blogs. Lastly, I got a bit lazy, and I found that I’d rather spend my free time with my man rather than write. The relationship was still quite new back then, and I felt that it needed a lot of my attention.

But that’s all in the past now, and I’m now quite well-adjusted and secure. Since we’ve moved in together, my man has made sure that I don’t stay up working all night and don’t spend all day sleeping, so I’m happy to say that I’m now sleeping right and waking up earlier, generally managing my time considerably better. All in all, life is excellent.

So why couldn’t I just resurrect one of my older blogs? Well, I’ve always wanted to have my own website, and not just something freely hosted by Wordpress. That’s also the reason why it took a bit longer to do this. I’ve had to research and learn the intricacies of hosting my own domain and stuff (no matter what they tell you, it’s never as easy as it seems). This was something I really wanted to do because I was starting to feel somewhat stagnant. I could literally feel my brain faculties diminishing.

I must admit that I got sidetracked a couple of times with other more pressing projects. Plus, it took me ages to decide on a Wordpress template to use (I’m still not entirely convinced on this one). I really must learn how to use Photoshop (yes, I don’t know how – shoot me) and brush up on CSS. I’m totally clueless about it, considering the fact that I studied the damned thing in university (ahhhh, if only I actually attended classes). But I’m here now, so no biggie.

Let it be known that I don’t want to make money off this blog. I just want to write – really write. I hope you guys will enjoy this blog, as much as I know I will enjoy writing it. And don’t worry. I’m not just going to suddenly disappear again. After all, I’m paying to keep this thing running, and I intend to get my money’s worth.

And leave me comments, why don’t you?
