Project 52
I stumbled across a new project on Twitter today, thanks Tim, and I instantly liked the idea. The goal with this project is to add new content to your website every week for a full year, thus the name “Project 52”, between the first of January 2010 and the first of January in 2011.
I’m confident that I will be able to update at least once a week with content but I also know that some weeks will be more difficult than others.
Wish me luck.

Neglect.
Fail to care for properly; not pay proper attention to; fail to do something.
This is what has happened here and I can’t explain my absence. I haven’t been busier than usual, nor have I been sick so I guess I’ve just been lazy. I am not only treating you badly by not writing and sharing what I love, it is also bad for me. As Amine says:
I can’t keep stuff for myself because that is not the way life is meant to be.
Having stuff bottled up inside only fuels aggression and depression, both of which I try to avoid as best I can. Writing and sharing what I think, as I do even by reblogging, feels great and is one of the reasons I keep writing; both on and offline, publicly and privately.
Let me know when I start neglecting everything again.

This book is on my Christmas/birthday wish list. I’ve read a few of the short stories before but I want to have read them all.
My birthday is January 2nd which is why I combine the wish lists. And no; you are never too old to wish for things.

If a writer of a prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of the iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. The writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
The Iceberg Theory by Ernest Hemingway.
A writing technique that communicates with subtext; for instance, Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” never mentions the actual theme of the story although the main characters are discussing it.

A welcoming post
This post marks a new start here on Tumblr for me.
I deleted all of my posts that I had previously posted so that I could focus on new content. This new content will hopefully be more mature and mostly in the form of text posts, because I do really love writing.
Though I do love writing and sharing my thoughts with you, I am still a full time student (with homework and all that the student life brings) and I do all of this in my spare time. I’ll post only when I have something worth posting, thus not pressuring myself into writing bad posts daily. Quality over quantity, as wise people say.
Just because I love writing and reading, doesn’t mean I hate the various audio, video and photologs I follow here on Tumblr, it’s just that I personally never find anything worth posting that is of that particular content.
– But if you want to write blog posts, why use Tumblr?
Truth is, Tumblr is my favorite blogging service because of its simplicity, ease of use and beauty. The fact that you can easily modify your tumblelog without any real knowledge in html etc is another great feature, but the feature I’m most fond of is the sharing. To have your tumbles accessible by anyone in the world, without sending them there with shortened links etc, is so great that I have a hard time believing that I will ever leave Tumblr.
Like, reblog and/or share if you’re a friendly fellow.
Sincerely,
your friend Oscar
