It’s been some time since I’ve posted anything here, or anywhere else for that matter. I’ve been active running the Through The Roof programs, and in the range of work I do, I’ve been feeling my writing here is better suited for my journals. So I have been writing in my journals a lot more, and nothing really comes up here.
But it doesn’t mean I don’t miss writing here. I think it was definitely enjoyable. I missed feeling free about what I was writing, until I started to get more people visiting the site, then I felt shy again. It’s strange because if you were going to meet me in real life, you might not think me shy at all. The difference being it would be in real life, and we would have a good exchange of words and stories. But this site, blog, post, it’s all open for everyone and I have no idea who really reads it. I just assume you read because you’re interested in my life in some way or form.
In any case, I whipped my keyboards out once more, and got myself a fun setup to start working on.
I’ve also started to look at Obsidian closer, if it would be a better non-distraction writing tool. It isn’t really, I think I hit the best one early in life, and it’s iA writer. It’s just the best and most appropriate pure words writing app. I hope they never change.
On top of all of this, I started to turn on my old phones. Talking about phones like the iPhone SE2020, or my 17 year old Palm Treo that my dad passed to me when I was 17. It was a real trip trying to turn these things on again, and to start planning workflows around it.
But was it the same as just writing? Nope. In fact, I think since putting this keyboard together an hour ago has been the most motivated I’ve felt in writing for the past 6 months. More than that, writing on this blog, with this stale layout comes the closest to what I feel writing on iA writer. Maybe I would change the font, just to match the experience exactly. It’s quite therapeutic to see the work finalised in that very technical looking font. It suits my writing brain.
I’ll update about creativity here again soon. I’ll be needing to share about creativity as a whole some time soon, but I think as a comeback post, this is pretty okay.
For the keyboard nerds, if there any left, this is my set up
- Prime E RGB PCB
- Prime E Frosted Case
- Tropical Switches by Bolsa Supply
- Cerakey Crazed Keycaps
and this is what it looks like
