Hello and welcome to another enthralling edition of "Maddie Actually Uses her Blog!".
But seriously, although I never set myself any rules, I am a tad disappointed by how little I've actually posted here since starting it. So I think some rules might be in order after all.
Last year, I undertook a 365 Project - to take one picture every single day of 2012. While definitely frustrating at times, I really enjoyed the structured nature of this project. I went from knowing how to work a digital camera, to being a passably-competent DSLR photographer in twelve months. And being forced to look for something beautiful, or thought-provoking, or just interesting to look at, each and every day, did wonders for my creativity.
Of course, I could've done it again this year, but it would not have been nearly as challenging or rewarding. Do people go back and climb Everest a second time? (I mean, I didn't end the year with severe frostbite or an amputated limb, but still.)
So, in lieu of a photo project, I have decided to focus my year-long commitment energy on writing. Somewhere in the post-Christmas dinner haze, I toyed with the idea of blogging every single day in 2013. That idea was quickly forgotten after I spent the next several days doing literally nothing other than sleeping, eating and watching the BBC show Merlin - and realized that life can, in fact, be relaxing.
So I've settled on a blog post a week, for every week in 2013. As you can see by tonight's stunning display of procrastination (I'm typing this with one eye on the clock in the corner of my screen, counting the minutes I have until midnight, and the official "second week" of 2012), the posts will most likely be posted towards the latter-ish part of each week.
So I think that about covers it. Now I need to attempt to regain some semblance of a normal sleep schedule - I start my second semester of university tomorrow.
Goodnight, bloglings
