Well hello again readers, I appreciate that all one or two of you are here! I apologize for yet again failing to consistently write here like I said I was going to. I’m not always the best when it comes to things like executive function or getting stuff done. Especially when my goals or assignments are open ended.

So, to that effect, I’ve decided to start a little project for myself here. As I transition from Alex, the Historian to Alex, the Journalist, I’ve found that a lot of conflicts keep coming up in terms of how I approach a topic or what I write about. I thought it might be fun to explore those ideas a little more, so I’ve decided that every Monday I’ll take a question about writing and write about it.

This will start tomorrow, where I ponder the question of, “Why should you care about this topic?” I think it’s a great place to start. I’ve also come up with, “What is my goal?” “Is it okay to be biased?” “Is it okay to be subjective?” and “What resources should I be drawing from?” While some of these questions might seem obvious, I think there are some interesting aspects to explore and I hope you do too.

I’ll still write random blogs when something comes to me, but I think this is a good place to get on track. So until next time, keep watching this space.
