Day 5 of Birthday Blogging for "Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2024" 

It is hard to believe that I used to blog daily at one point. Even 5 blogs in I feel like I haven't exercised my blogging muscles in awhile. Hopefully this will get easier before the end.

My writing tends to go in three directions. One would be similar to this where I tend to share my own thoughts in a relaxed type of blog entry. It tends to be a little bit chaotic as I'm giving a train of thought. If I am following a prompt (like with this entry, it is a little bit more organized as I keep to one general idea. I like blogging because it allows to share and analyze different experiences that I have been having.

The other type of writing that I like doing is Poetry. There is more of an exercise done for fun as I tend to follow a particular format when I am writing it. It is sort of a game for me.

The last of writing that I like doing is fiction. I am a huge Sci fi fan. I am currently planning some adventure, science fiction and action stories and arcs. I have three big projects I am currently working on. A ninja storyline, a steampunk storyline and a magic storyline. I'll tease a little bit about the Steampunk story, this was inspired by WDC prompt and deals with a time traveler who travels back in time using a mystery machine he finds. It has a little bit of a "Back to the Future feel to it.

In terms of fears, when it comes I struggle with thinking faster than I am able to transcribe my work. There is always a fear in the back of my head when I plot out a large story that I won't be able to finish it. I look forward to writing out some of these arcs though. ^_^
