XII: The Deranged Writer’s Love Life (Recently)

Today, February 14, is St. Valentine’s Day. In celebration of a day full of love and romance, I would like to talk about something I rarely talk about here on The Diary: my love life.

Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.

XI: Full Circle I (The Diary’s 1st Anniversary)

The last time I celebrated a blog anniversary was in 2008 – I have been using WordPress for a year and I have a different name and persona. Since then (evolving into The Deranged Writer and all), either (1) I blogged for several months and then stopped it and gave my blog a hard reset, or (2) I forgot to acknowledge my blog anniversary. That is why it is so sweet to celebrate my anniversary today after many attempts and years to blog regularly. (Even if many people don’t read blogs anymore.) Good job, self!

So, what did I learn and do to blog frequently? Here are the things I learned and my writing process on The Diary. (Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.)

Notes to Self III

Last February 6, 2023, I promised myself to start blogging more often again. I started by launching a blogging series called Notes to Self (where I remind myself of a relevant quote from any form of media or someone I know.)

Today I’m celebrating my 1st monthsary of frequent blogging here on The Dispatch. I’m so proud of myself because it has been so long since I followed a blogging schedule successfully. (I think the last time I religiously blogged, Tumblr was in its 1st or 2nd year of existence.) And I’m not planning on stopping soon.

Anyway, let me celebrate my 1st blogging monthsary with the 3rd edition of Notes to Self, the very 1st blogging series I launched here on The Dispatch. And in this episode, I want to quote one of my favorite lines from the longest-running sci-fi series in the world, Doctor Who.

Spoiler warning if you have not seen the Doctor Who Series 5 episode “Vincent and The Doctor”.
