Random Talk : Moving Forward (Update 3)

Usually there are certain things which I address in my updates which bear no actual relevance to anything I might post next. It will probably consist of me saying what my next few posts will be, or it will probably be a small apology for the hiatus I was on before I posted said update. But this is not one of those updates. There are a few things I want to address with this update, so bear with me here.

The first thing I want to address is the complete lack of articles for the past two days. I really did break my one-day-one-post-schedule hard. There are a few reasons why I did that, one of them being my lack of energy. For some odd reason, ever since I passed my boards, my schedule of sleep just enough so you can get through the day which I followed all through my twelfth does not seem to be working. It is working, but it is very spotty. By that I mean it will work for five days of the week, but then it won’t for the remaining two.

The second reason is that, when I am reviewing something, it takes me around half an hour to write about a seven hundred word long review. That is my average word count, at least on my reviews. For the past week, I have been working on a short story. With writing a short story, it takes my more than an hour and a half to get to the seven hundred word mark. This is because when I review something, I recollect something and try to describe the good and bad parts of it, without giving away too much of the story. When I am writing a short story, my work practically begins with nothing. The only parameters I have for a story is the ones I set for myself. So it takes more time to get into the flow.

So, I do apologize for the lack of articles, in case someone minded that is. The second thing I want to address is that some of my friends weren’t keen on my drama reviews. Funny, I know. Well here is the deal the Dramatic arts are something which I like very much. And unfortunately, there isn’t that much coverage especially for people who cannot advertise their plays that is; for those who cannot “Spread their Name” basically. So, to the dismay of those who don’t enjoy my drama reviews, or at least to their annoyance, I shall be continuing to cover stage plays and drama related events as they happen.

 That being said though, here is a small piece of information about the drama industry, new stage plays don’t happen every year. At most there will be only thirty to thirty five plays, so you can rest assured that that will be the maximum number of stage play reviews that will be published each year. And since there are only so many plays, I am working or different drama related content, for my website, so keep an eye out for that.

Thirdly, I am looking at creating another series, like my “Ear-buds of Music” where I can publish a post once a week. Contrary to popular belief, this is not something that I chose to do because, I want my life to be more hectic, rather it is something which will help me cover more varied topics, maybe even dipping into basic politics, for those interested in that field.

Not only will this make sure that there is some structure to the randomness of my posts, but it will make sure that I can reach, something of a larger audience, thereby making sure that I can get more inputs on making my work better. This will also matter, because I will get to learn different writing styles when I get to cover topics which are not my forte.

As for the fourth thing I want to discuss is, for those of you who still don’t know about, the death of Christina Grimme. Christina was a singer songwriter who started out in YouTube, where she sang covers of popular songs. She shot to fame when she participated in The Voice, a singing competition. I am going to be honest here for a second, I did not know about her, until after her passing. I feel sorry that I didn’t get a chance to experience her music before she lost her life.

Some people who may have known her before she passed away may not call me a true fan, but when I listened to playlist after playlist, I realized that the world had lost a great singer and, more importantly, an amazing person. You know, after saying “My heart goes out to their family” again and again, the words become hollow and meaningless. But, I guess, when the people who have the power to stop this don’t, we can only say these words. My only hope is that this and the Orlando shooting, make the politicians see that gun laws need to be changed.

And on that sad, but hopeful note, I would like to end this post. Until next time:

Peace.
