the blog’s vision

Alright, I’m going to share something extraordinary that I’ve never spoken to anyone about. And it’s about this blog.

What is my vision for this blog?

I started this blog with a million ideas racing through my head. I created the blog in a manic way, and I added anything and everything I did creatively. This included short stories, artwork, etc. But then I really began to hone in on what I wanted the blog to be about. I use the Sunday blog post to tell a story every week with a heavy emphasis on mental health but also other topics. And then I write my poetry. I think three poems a week is a little much at times, and I think from now on, I’m only going to do one a week. But it doesn’t mean that someday there will be more.

I want to be a writer. There’s no denying that. And I plan to publish my first book (I am God) within the next year. And I have great ideas for the blog surrounding it. I want Easter eggs and relevant stories and further plotting. But I also want to keep the blog a secret. WHAT? A SECRET? I have this idea that this blog will be relevant one day when I have enough stature to make it so. And then fans of my novel will get years of information on my personal life, where I come from, and all the struggles I have faced. I want to release it at the right time, though. Specifically, when it won’t take away from the novel. Now, I have to ask myself, do I keep my name a secret as well? I still haven’t decided.

The title of the blog is so important to me. Initially, I called it You are my muse, but I was talking about a singular delusion that deserved no credit. So, I made it You are my muses. I like to highlight that I’m inspired by the world around me and all the people in it. So, when I do decide to go big with the blog, I want the fans to see right away that it was all for them. This dream keeps me going and the thought of them makes it deserved.

Will there be other aspects of the blog in the future? I can’t lie- I’m still stuck on aspects like short stories and artwork. But I have to simplify the process and not do it all at once. I’ve written short stories since I was a kid, but I find that now I don’t have a lot of time for it which is why I removed it from the blog. The same goes with artwork. I just haven’t had time to do it since I started my new job. But when these things come back into my life, I will find some way to incorporate them.

Patience is everything.
