Maybe I'll show you the worth of my wit.
A few times now, on a few separate occasions, I've nearly posted an entry and then failed to do so.
I slept early and then bad dreams woke me up. Twice I dreamt that I was in a vehicle with a friend and we ended up submerged. I don't think anyone was ever hurt, but the theme of motor vehicles ending up underwater and friends nearly drowning is an unsettling one.
I feel like the All Hallows’ Eve party mostly managed only to stress people out. I'm suddenly reminded of why I tend to avoid social gatherings. And lament the fact that I'm likely going to be forced into working in an environment soon in which I have no choice but to deal with other people.
I've been looking into it and discovered six methods in which one can make money with a blog. If I made something more broad but just as successful as LOLPUP, I could apparently "retire" by the age of 30. That's making some broad assumptions. But being able to support myself directly through my humor and my writing would be a dream come true. Especially seeing as how I have no real marketable skills for the workplace.
I seem to have a knack for drawing the attention of other people when I write. So I'm not worried about promotion or finding people to read the damned thing. What I'm worried about is how to carve out a niche interesting enough to draw in other people. But also familiar enough to me that I can talk about said topic forever. The Ask Me Anything bit was a good idea; but it wasn't enough to hold its own ground for all that long.
Perhaps I don't need a focus. Maybe I can just put all the aspects and interests in my life into one big melting pot and make that the spearhead of my content. But until I learn more than just basic HTML this is all just a pipedream.
Still, how nice would it be to get paid 24/7 through advertisements and not have to do anything I actually consider work beyond managing the website.
I really want to register the domain soon. Hopefully I won't be worthless for much longer.
