Confession

[vampiresincowboyboots]

I kind of forgot I had one of these until I was catching up on emails earlier this evening and had a Dreamwidth notification so I'm thinking May

(I'm not even entirely sure where April went. I don't feel like I actually achieved anything during the month. One minute it was March and now it's May.)

is going to be a kind of reboot and see if I can find some kind of rhythm or routine to posting here. I feel that as a trainee blogger of sorts, I should find a more experienced one to teach me the ropes, some kind of Dreamwidth apprenticeship scheme.

Is there anything like that available?
Because that would be really useful. I'm not very good at figuring things like this out. Give me a nice instruction set, a how-to, a dummies guide and I'll be fine. Something where I have to work it out for myself, not even a strting place and I don't know where to start. I'm feeling floundery and that's probably not helping with the issues of not posting and not being here.

Dreamwidth is extremely similar to LiveJournal, if you ever used that in a past life. Is there something specific you are struggling with? Or just an overwhelming sense of the unknown?

[vampiresincowboyboots]

No, this is all new to me, I've never done anything like it before. It's all unknown and a little overwhelming.
My fiance, bless him, he's all 'just be yourself, you'll make friends easily enough, people will love you' which is very sweet but doesn't help me with that nagging feeling of not knowing what I'm supposed to do!

I kind of look at it like writing: "write about what you know." Write what happened today, even if it is just one thing and how you felt about it.
