I've mostly cleared this blog of non-writing related posts. I've left a few for insight- the life-in-general ones, because there's something about my writing lately that has been disorganized and frustrating to read (and yes, sloppy), so I feel like it belongs here in a way to sort of catalogue what's going on in my head that might manifest itself through my writing, style-wise.

This blog will only be used further for my reflections on writing and writing related matters. This is a sort of personal vow to myself. The overly-personal posts have been moved back over to the private blog, and the less touchy posts will now be part of my third blog, Alka-Seltzer and Wine (yes, it was started on a whim to use that phrase, and yes you might note the address says "whine" instead of wine, because I like wordplay to a fault)

Until then, a brief writing thought:

I'm still in the habit of using the European spellings of certain types of words, even though it's technically considered incorrect. For example, -og words, like dialogue, catalogue, and such. Prologue and Epilogue have retained their -ogue endings, and perhaps I just prefer the consistency. Also, grey. It just looks incorrect to spell it with an a, to my eyes. Maybe it's a sort of synaesthetic thing... when I write I see the words and the visuals of the words in my head, and in my head, it's definitely and e in grey. Silly American spellings...

I really don't think I was going anywhere impressive with that... just a thought to get me back on track here.
