Yeah, I still remember this place.
A few weeks ago, I had the idea of going to my old blogs and transferring all of those posts to this site. It may seem redundant as those blogs are still up, but the purpose of this site is to consolidate all of my writing to one place.
My first blog was The Anime Guidepost, a place for all of my anime and manga reviews. I started this way back in 2007 and while I could never keep a consistent schedule (the more things change...), I did eventually put up quite the collection of reviews. It's interesting to see all of the gusto and fervor I had for doing that.
I attempted to start over with a similar blog called The Wandering Nerd. The idea was to broaden out of anime and into all the things I'm interested in. While, I never did get very far, I did have the realization that I tended to write essays on Reddit and thought I could convert those to articles. It's still a good idea, I think, but I only ever did it once on that blog.
In any case, all of the articles I posted on those blogs are now available on the renamed Reviews, Criticism, and Old Blogs section. You can take a look into my critical writing past, for whatever that's worth.
I also started a fiction blog called Warriors of the Red Van, telling the story of some adventurers in an "anything goes" kind of world. I only ever wrote three chapters, but it's a world that I'm still interested in. I may come back to it at some point, but for now, the chapters can been seen on my Scraps page.
I know that it's not the greatest of updates, basically posting a bunch of old content, but as I said before, I want to consolidate my writings to this site, and doing this is a big part of that.
I do intend to write more for this site, but for now, this all that I feel like I can do, for now.
