bear blog question challenge
thank you ava for creating this challenge! I used to love these games, it's been a while.
1. Why did you make the blog in the first place?
My intention in starting this blog was to catalog moments amidst the madness that reminded me of my own humanity.
2. Why did you choose Bearblog?
I can't say for certain, but I was visiting a friend for dinner when the topic of smolweb came up... we played on gemini.. discovered the midnightpub and some fun little text based adventure sites + forums... it was nostalgic and cathartic. Soonafter, I was on bear. I remember clicking through the discover page and feeling at home.
3. Have you blogged on other platforms before?
Yes! I used to run a Maximum Ride fanblog sometime around 2011? My friends and I were obsessed with the series and used to LARP our MaxRide OCS together while running around in the forest - I kept track of our adventures on my blog!
4. Do you write your posts directly in the editor or in another software?
I write directly in the editor! The font is easy on the eyes and the interface is pleasant. I have no reason to look elsewhere.
5. When do you feel most inspired to write?
Inspiration always seems to hit when I'm stuck at work. I keep a journal on me to make note of any interesting observations / interactions or fleeting essay topics. Then, I either expand apon the ideas there or cobble together multiple notes on a topic - and that's how all of my posts are made!
6. Do you publish immediately after writing or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?
I publish immediately and then go back and rework / spellcheck as needed. I've reworked posts from more than a year in the past before. Sometimes it takes about that long to come up with a word that fits just a little better.
7. Your favorite post on your blog?
7. Any future plans for your blog? Maybe a redesign, changing the tag system, etc.?
Not at the moment!
If you haven't done this challenge already, I'd love to hear about your journey on bear as well.
