oh so that's one of the reasons why i struggle with long-form writing of the kind that i would put on my blog, huh. i only write about things with an emotional through-line and maintaining that emotional continuity between writing sessions is very, very hard

i do have some other, pretty bad problems with long-form writing, though i'm starting to notice i may be having them less lately, which is nice. but if i assume those problems don't affect me so much: i could definitely write a long, very boring article. but that's no fun

this is something so obvious and such a frequent theme at this point that it must be clichΓ©, but basically, i only want to write blogposts about β€œdreams”. if a blogpost does not sell you on a certain β€œdream” then it's not suitable for my personal blog. that's how i am

@saagar @hikari does C count?

(I do not know C properly beyond basics of pointers and structures and unions and stuff like that)

@sounddrill @hikari C is probably the most unromantic language in existence

@saagar @sounddrill i must disagree C is a very romantic language every C programmer has a terribly romantic relationship with it and refuses to give that up

since i think it's cute when something is an example of itself: this thread is, of course, such an example that might not work as a blogpost! you can see how i drifted from blogification as a topic to blogposts as a topic. that kind of drift can work but it's difficult.

@hikari In a very literal sense you are responding to yourself. Even though it's just you, it does have characteristics that are more dialogue than monologue.

@Catriona that's true! especially with the time and feeling dimension, we can say that the selves talking to eachother may not be the same one
