So, for those of you who don't know, I has a blog.

Said blog is currently inactive. I set it aside temporarily so I could better evaluate what I was going to do with it. I didn't want it to just be a blog, I wanted it to be useful, informative, and helpful, and since I didn't think it was at the time, I put it on hold. So I could brainstorm.

Well, the launch date was supposed to be October 12th. And it probably still is. I had everything planned, I had lots of blog posts planned in my head, ready to be written. I even wrote one or two before hand. Until one day....

...I changed my mind.

Yup. I do this a lot. I's an impulsive individual. I decided that I wasn't too sure I even wanted a blog - maybe, just maybe, I wanted a vlog instead.

I'm still not sure. I'm currently leaning towards a vlog - I think I'd have more fun with it. But I also still kinda want to do a blog. Then I though maybe I could do both, but that might take up too much time.

So...what do you think? :D

It seems to me that, if you want a vlog, you should do a vlog. Then, if you enjoy doing it, you can consider doing a blog at the same time. If you don't enjoy doing the vlog, then you can stop and just do a blog.

Start with whichever one you'll have the most fun doing, and then if you have the time and desire to do both, go for it.

For those of you who wish to know, I have decided to do both a blog and a vlog. :D

What is a vlog, exactly?

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

A vlog is a video blog. Instead of writing out an article/blog post, you record yourself talking about it and then upload it to YouTube. (Or some other video site.) :D

Have you started your Vlog, Red? And how is it going? :)
