Writing to a faceless audience is hard. I didn't realize, when i first started blogging, that what I was setting out to do would be so difficult. "Surely typing out my thoughts can't be difficult!" *shoots self in foot*
I tried incredibly hard to keep this blog professional, at time impersonal, and a broad-scoped as possible. For whatever reason, I held myself to a huge standard. "I'll never meet the people who read this, so I have to appeal to all of them." *Shoots self in other foot*
Recent self-realizations about my patterns of socialization (that's a mouthful) have finally gotten me to the point of admitting I was wrong. I was wrong to put such a huge requirements on myself. and I was wrong to write into the void and expect fulfillment in return. Hopefully I've learned my lesson well enough to not make the same mistake in the future.
So, here is the plan. You, faceless audience, are getting a makeover in my mind. Instead of treating you like an audience of thousands, I'll be writing to you as if to a pen-pal, albeit one with a love of hypnosis, tulpa, and mindhackery in general. I'm going to personify you for my own well being, and see if it works out.
What this means? Well, hopefully new posts, although in a different tone. Less obsession and completionism from me, therefore more content in general. The quality might suffer, I suppose. I'm going to try not to worry about that part, lest I drive myself into silence again. Oh, and I'm making a virtual construct to serve as a face to talk to, so that there is some humanity on the receiving end of these posts, whether I get responses or not.
Anyhow, I'm off to read Wikipedia and attempt to get my brain back in gear. Best of luck in all you do.

I personally think this is a good idea; don't worry about it maybe being "low quality", as long as it's readable, I for one will read (damn that sounds redundant).
