Since posting my initial celebratory "hell yeah I have a Dreamwidth account" entry, I haven't posted here at all. To be fair to myself, I've had a lot of schoolwork to get through and not many ideas about what to write here as opposed to on LiveJournal or my WordPress blog. In fact I haven't really had many ideas as to what to write at those places, either.

There are a few possibilities for things I could write about here. For instance, one of my LiveJournal's current purposes is to serve as a place where I write privately about my days, like a diary. I could start using this journal for that purpose, but that would involve reposting a LOT of entries (and I don't want to import my WHOLE LiveJournal because there are lots of entries I'd rather leave behind). Also, it still doesn't give me an idea of what I should post PUBLICLY (or at least access-listly) about.

I could talk about politics or philosophy here. I already do this to a certain extent in my WordPress blog, though, and I'm not sure how I'd differentiate between "thoughts to post on WP" and "thoughts to post on DW". Alternatively I could crosspost between WP and here, but I don't really like duplicating content like that.

I could also try posting fiction here, but I haven't actually written much in the way of fiction for a long time, NaNoWriMo aside. Ultimately I probably wouldn't post any, because I wouldn't have written any to post.

So, there are my thoughts. And I still don't know the answer! I guess I'll see what I feel like doing later on.

Awesome!

I opened my inbox today to see that I'd received an invite code to Dreamwidth. Obviously, I excitedly registered and now here I am, writing an entry! This is very, very cool. I think I will save my ramblings as to why it is cool for another journal, because I'm sure everybody here already knows. But yes. I'm excited. xD

I'm not yet entirely sure what I'm going to use this journal for. Perhaps I'll use it as motivation to get writing (fiction, not essays!) again, and post it here. Perhaps it'll supplant my LJ's purpose as a place where I ramble privately about my life. Perhaps I'll just ramble, even though I already have multiple other outlets for rambling. Who knows, really?

Even though I don't yet have plans, I'm very happy to have an account. I like the idea of Dreamwidth -- the transparency, the consultation, and the freedom of expression talked about in many places. That's the kind of site and community I want to be a part of. So yay, excitement!
