About posting in February...

By now I imagine most of you have seen the "Dreamwidth is for shitposting" February challenge. I meant to add something about this to my writing goals and then completely forgot. Like many folks I've seen discussing the topic, I've never quite been sure what is meant by "shitposting", and I don't really care for the term anyway -- it seems to devalue the process of sharing your thoughts, regardless of how thoughtful or lofty those thoughts might be. But I agree with the overall sentiment that DW doesn't only have to be a place for long, thoughtful, perfectly polished discussion. Lord knows LJ certainly wasn't that, all the time. :) So in that spirit, I'm adding another goal to my list: in February, I will post to my DW at least four times a week. Short posts, long posts, silly or serious. And who knows, maybe the habit will stick this time.

Also I'm going to try and comment more, which is where I have seriously fallen down on my DW participation. Hard to set a specific goal for that, of course, but I hope I manage it.
