A post in which I use the word "plethora"

     Creating my plethora of blogs may have been one of the best ways I've ever wasted my time. Since this year, I've really started writing more than ever, and I love it. I absolutely love re-reading what I can come up with, just like dogs love eating their own shit. Maybe, if I practice enough, I could actually do something with this. Maybe one day I'll crap out diamonds. I don't know.
     Separating poetry from essays to rambling means that I can write a poem in response to something that happened during the day, then write on SAu about it and come up with an essay topic on SVe branching off the same thing, or something totally different. After I write my essay, I might go back to SAe and write on that new theme, and it just ends up being a really cool process that settles my mind and gets my thoughts down somewhere where I can process them. Not only do I have prettily designed (no self-congratulation there) places to write, I want to fill them so I can scroll through my archives and pluck out something to look over again--if my friends check up once in a while and stumble across what I have to say, that's fine. But they don't need to; it's enough that I can be my own audience.
     On SAe, I've been tagging my posts to see what I write about. Unsurprisingly, I've written the most about college (considering the time) and writing (which has been a perennial favorite to write about). I just pick out themes that I find in my creative writing, and I like seeing that cloud grow--I have about 15 posts up now, and with at least three tags per post, things add up. I'm waiting until my themes start to repeat themselves, until the cloud stops growing in size and the numbers next to the words start rising. If I keep at this for a while, I can go back when I want to read something about, I don't know, water, and I'll find a few pieces from a while back where I worked H2O into what I was saying. This could turn into a really good representation of a few months, or a year, or maybe a few years of my life; how many times can you say that about a project?
     If you want to see the best thing about my blog trio, just look at the post dates. I'm writing a lot now, from several times a month to a few times a day, and I think I'm getting better. Usually, I would have stopped by now, sick of an old project and ready to start a new one. I haven't yet, though, and I don't think I'll stop for a while because I set up a system of release and self-motivation. Now, I get to watch and see where the words take me.
