Wheel turning, no hamster...
I've been feeling very off-kilter and out of sorts lately. Restless, unsettled and sure that I've forgotten to do something. Usually feeling like that sets off my panic button, but not this time. I don't mind it. I even like it a bit. My mind's spinning with thousands of incomplete thoughts. When I get this way, I know what will happen.
I will start a new project.
I know, not exactly a grand declaration there. It's kinda exciting for me because I'm not sure what I'm going to do exactly. I think I will start a new blog. But I don't want another ramble-y, babble-y blog like I've got now. Not that this is a bad kind of blog to have. I've come to need it. It helps me focus my thoughts and it's a place for my stories. I do love telling a story.
I'm trying to find a purpose for this other blog. I thought about maybe making it a place to focus on working on my writing skills. I'm not, nor will I ever be, a writer. I don't do the flowery prose thing very well. I find that I can't draw a picture with my words. That's a big problem for me. I'm visually inclined, so I like being able to picture what I'm reading. In here, it all seems...flat. There's no way I can use my gestures, expression, or tone to convey the story. That's how I usually do things. I'm all about the delivery.
But I worry about starting a blog with that purpose. I could start it, I'd be good about writing in it. For a while. Then I'd begin to neglect it. I hate leaving projects unfinished.
So I leave it to you, dear readers. Any suggestions? What kind of blog should I start? Should I go with a group blog idea? Should I do a super-secret blog? Do you have more than one blog? Do other people know about it? Are there any other questions I should be thinking about?

3 Things You Say:
I've been feeling kinda the same way. So I started a super secret blog. But I find that I don't have that many secrets and I'm saying the same stuff I say in my other blog. I also joined a group blog. But I think you need a theme to that and some basic guidelines. Otherwise, CERTAIN people treat it as their own blog and write in it every other day not even following the loose concept or giving others a chance to post. I'm thinking now that I'd like to start a totally fiction blog, like a novella. Let me know what you decide, I'm there.
The group blog is barely limping along. We-- we, of course, being J and me-- can't decide on the theme. And we'd like to have more writers than just the two of us, so there's that little problem thrown in.
Did I mention that I'm not a patient person either? Yeah, that's not helping things. I want things done, but it's a good idea to know what you want before you demand they get done. Particularly when you're demanding these things from yourself.
I'll probably just throw something together and tweak it. Like I always do. Maybe. Ugh..
I have a secret one, i use it to write about my clients all anon of course. Its great place for me to vent about cases i have.
If you and J start one off, think about what people you know that can bring something special to it. With each specialising in a certain area/topic etc.
If you do one yourself, do just that....do it for youself...what interests you? What floats your boat so to speak? What gets you excited and passionate so that you won't neglect it?
My thoughts :)
