I've been doing quite a bit of musing over at my Writing Blog lately... okay. Quite a bit in comparison to the inactivity it suffered for about two years. I think I've done five entries in the last two weeks--that's still a lot considering!
Anyway! I've actually been using said blog, since I decided to convert it into one for my writing. That's not to say I won't ramble here about my writing, still, but a lot of the in-depth stuff will be over there.
Basically, the reason I've decided to use a Writing Blog at all is so that I can yammer about random inspirations and be able to find the details easily when it comes time for me to dig them out, dust them off, and actually write with them. Up until now, I've been using this LJ to do that, but then I have to dig back through endless numbers of entries to find the one I'm looking for... my GJ is a lot more planned and organized, so finding what I'm looking for isn't a hassle.
But that brings me to the original point behind this post... Friends Only journals.
*nods*
My other blog is locked up as Friends Only, because basically the only thing that I ramble about there is original story/writing ideas, characters, details and situations. I trust the people that I have friended, but that trust doesn't really extend to random people who happen by, and I obviously want to keep people from ganking my ideas.
It's the first and only time I've ever considered Friends Locking my journals... because I honestly don't really understand the point behind locking up an entire blog, if all it has in it is blather about a person's life (unless that person happens to work for the CIA/FBI/MIB/whatever.)
I lock up certain entries if I don't want the whole world to know them, but other than that I pretty much don't stress about it. And actually, I kind of wonder... for those of you who do have your journals set as Friends Only, why do you feel the need to do that? Though I suppose it would depend on the person, and their need for privacy...
*shrugs*
RIGHT! Anyway! ^_^
Tonight I'm going over to Mom's to borrow her oven again and bake a cake... or two. Possibly something else. I've had this horrible urge to bake the last little while (though I wasn't about to try it, given how I was feeling the last week-and-a-bit!), and it doesn't seem to be going away.
I think I'm headed into a manic swing, actually...
Blegh. I hope it doesn't get too bad.
But Mom doesn't mind me borrowing her oven (and her laundry facilities while I'm at it), because normally when I do, she can mooch baked goods off of me. She tells me she kind of misses my manic BAKING!phazes--not for the manic part, but for the part where she'd wake up in the morning and the counters would be pilled high with yummy baking. :P
