Hopefully you have been able to look back to 2013 and smile. And may all your dreams, new and old, will be able to come true this year.
It has been a good 11 months, since I last wrote in this blog. As much as I hope last year had been wonderful for all you readers, sadly I cannot say the same for myself. While I will not go into detail over the things that had happened during the 11 months, I feel it is sufficient to say that it has been trying for me, both personally and professionally. There had been moments where I doubted myself as a person, and others where I felt as if I am hitting dead ends all over. It is hard to be in such a dark place, to feel so lonely that one cannot appreciate being alone. And although things are still not as good as I would have liked, I can say that I am finding my way out of the maze. So with all the prayers in my heart I hope 2014 will be better for me, for you and indeed for all of you.
All right, emo moment over. Now let's talk about this blog!
I am looking into honing my writing skills even more. Indeed writing is the one thing I am absolutely sure I'm good at, so one of the promises I made to myself this year (NOT a resolution though, I never keep those :P) is to write more in this blog, as well as my other blog throughout the year. It's a pity as I have had some interesting moments last year but never seemed to have the mood or energy to put them down in writing. So this year is going to be all about improving myself in the DISCIPLINE and COMMITMENT department. I'm sure this year will have it's fair share of interesting things, so watch this space!
Now, my plans for Midnight Scrolls: The first thing I am going to do is to rewrite one or two of my previous posts, particularly the Fandom Challenge post, which I thought was really good, but appeared as a real mess when viewed. I copied the questions from the website directly into the HTML on my dashboard and wrote my answers underneath, so that was why it went black, white and different fonts altogether. So I'm rewriting that in a proper word document before posting it again. Hopefully it will turn out well. Once I've done rewriting that, I will continue with the rest of the Challenge Marathons that I promised :)
Next, I'm planning to expand my subjects on Midnight Scroll. I noticed that so far, I have only written my take on movies I've seen. I will be doing just that, even reviewing some of the previous movies I've seen which might been outdated (but I don't care haha), and more. I will be writing about TV series and books, perhaps even food (although honestly my opinion on anything eatable is either DELICIOUS or NASTY). I have always intended Midnight Scroll to be my two cents on anything I have encountered, and I plan to do just that this year.
I am still on the fence about what to do with posts like Battle Dream Royale. Originally I had meant to also use this blog as a platform for my fiction writing, but I see that it might not be practical mixing it up with reviews. Especially since I haven't finished the story. I might pull it down, write it properly and then post somewhere else. So we'll see.
Lastly, I am going to minimize the personal-emotional-reflection posts. Those are meant for journals, not blogs like this.
Well... I guess that is the outline for Midnight Scrolls hereafter. Let's see if we can get this on the road, for real this time.
2014, please be good!
