I'm changing things up here.
I've had the blog as my outlet for Endless-Online stuff for nearly a decade and it's been a fun ride and an amazing experience. The reality is that there really is nothing left to write that couldn't be covered in a tweet.
So that's what I do. I haven't written anything of substance here in a long time and perhaps I haven't written anything of substance here ever.
It leaves me with a few options. Keep doing not much of anything with this blog, torch the shit out of it, or perhaps I can use it for something else.
I've decided on the latter.
WickedFrost as an outlet for creativity is something that I find tremendous value in. The ability to write without the usual filter of editors and marketing departments telling you to write what sells. The anonymity of character that allows for discourse without consequence.
Not that I've used the anonymity as an excuse to be hateful or vile or unthinking. That's not how I roll. It does, however, let me travel down avenues of thought, test boundaries, and question assumptions in a way that I can't in whatever it is we mean by real life.
Thus WickedFrost will continue to live.
But he's going to change a little bit.
I'm going to be writing about me. The guy behind WickedFrost. The thing that I hope will differentiate this from your average blog is that I'm going to leave the filters off and use the anonymity of character to try to give you an accurate window into how I see the world around me.
I'm going to write about marriage and children and friendships and work and struggles and joys. I don't know if it's going to be interesting or not. I don't even know if anyone is going to read it or not. That's never really mattered. The blog is for me and if you're joining me for the journey then welcome aboard.
I will, of course, blur some details to keep things safe and anonymous. There's no way around that. But the emotions, the thought processes, the experiences are going to be 100% real.
So here I go...
