Hello all of you screaming fans, I am here LIVE, to tell you something that you need to know about my blog.
First off, you may have noticed that my blog posts are not typical. Meaning I don't use the whole custom template option nor do I use very many photos. It's more of an informational blog than anything, which could be good or bad.
I don't have an audio thing going on, which is just fine for now, although I might start recording stuff in the near future if life conditions permit.
I don't usually post videos. Hmm ok, so that can change. Whether it's of me, about me, or just me shooting film of something cool, like say...*cough*.... me talking about a particular subject, it will most likely be about me. Ok, I lie too big, it won't be about me.
IF I do end up recording podcasts/vlogs, it will be about the things I enjoy, such as Star Wars, Doctor Who, good ol' fashioned LEGO building, music, geology, and books I have read recently and really liked. Or ones that I hated. Oh and why not add the in between.
The changes I plan to make will be these.
#1: Add more photos. Whether they are serious and truly apply to my blog post subject matter will depend entirely on my mood.
#2: Add some videos. These will most likely be shot by me to avoid copyright infringement and because original content is so GOOD. Mostly...
I can’t say when I will be adding videos, because right now the only cameras I have available are my 5mp Cam on my HTC Merge(cell phone) and my even less MP webcam on my laptop....also, I have no idea what format the videos will be in. Vlog? Production? Podcast type? Who knows, I’ll think about it, maybe record some webcam fun to test my skillz. But it’s safe to say within the next 5 months.
#3: Add links, references, possibly add my music that I have been working on. I wonder if I can link SoundCloud....
#4: More monkeys. I don’t know why, but I seem to keep coming back to monkeys! Remember a few days ago I posted this long excerpt from Wikipedia on monkeys? Well...maybe not since it was all in Welsh...but I remember it! Someone’s got to....anyway, point is...MORE MONKEYS.
#5: More stuff to add to my To Add To list. Figure THAT one out! If you can, I will probably pay you for it, because I certainly can’t.
#6: I think I’m done now.

Writing Flaws.
I have always been a writer. Whether I have been good or not is up to the critics.
When I was about 8, I would take standard 'line paper' and write short stories about an adventurer with the same name as me. It was all very Indian Jones-ish, what with the jungles, the slight action and the treasure at the end.
As most writers of that age, I did absolutely no research. I just started writing with a small idea, and out came a story. The best and most important thing was, it was FUN.
I continued to grow up writing, whether it was in my journal, or writing small stories here and there besides my school assignments, which were extensive.
Besides my school assignments, my writing was not exactly researched, even in my 'later years' till now.
This lack of research seriously impacts your ability to write a lot of good material, not to mention your motivation. I realize research can be tedious, but hey, it's necessary in order to write a book or an article that will keep a readers interest, and it is also important to get facts right. If it's wrong, then things could easily go wrong, and you could be marked as an unreliable source. Not a good thing for a writer unless you happen to author fiction, and even then, you risk the possibility of plagiarism.
So, I guess another thing is, avoid writers block. Well, I guess you can't exactly avoid it...but you can slightly prevent it. By actually trying to finish your article the first day you start writing it! Unless it's a long one, in which case....well the point is, I started this about a week and a half ago, kept adding some sentences here and there, and finally lost my whole reason for writing this post...I do hope you learn something from it though!
