A piece of advice came through recently on the tumblrbot: Write joyfully about topics you love, not angrily about those you despise. For weeks now, the author has been trying to abide by this simple maxim, with varying success. Looking back on what he has written during the past ten months, he is embarrassed to find that most of his writing features attacks against things he does not like, would like to see changed, or thinks should go away. Few pieces contain uplifting or happy thoughts; most of them are of the author complaining daily about the opinions of other people and about how foolish they all have been for not immediately heeding his and praising him for being gloomy.
While still dealing with the emotional and psychological fallout from the aforementioned realization, this unworthy whorphan is restructuring his writing and drawing processes as well as intensifying his search for inner peace in the ancient texts and yoga. Traffic to his writing sites has been on the decline; something must be done. There is no central message to his writing, no red string of Mycenae, and he has yet to put up advertising, a factor he has used to justify slacking off these past couple of weeks and posting recycled content. He has tried to convince himself that acting in the manner of a know-it-all curmudgeon makes him happy, but it brings little joy to his readers and messes up his internal monologue; therefore, he shall scatter his problems while they are still small and become the change he wishes to see in the world.
Thank you for reading along on this lowly author's journey. Someday, he'll find his stride.
