gotta start somewhere

i don't know exactly what my posts on this site are going to look like; ideally i'll be motivated to write a little bit more than i tend to on the regular, even if it just to ramble or rant about something or other for ye olde dreamwidth. like some number of others, i was inspired to make this account by the imminent shut down of Cohost. i'm sad to see the place go but truth be told i never got around to using Cohost as much as i perhaps should have. ah well. so far the "life raft" discord servers have been fun; if nothing else, i'll be able to say i found my way to those little communities as a result of using Cohost.

anyway, i have a few vague ideas of things to post about here, including:

- RPG sessions (currently i'm in a DND campaign, and i plan on writing at least a little bit about future sessions of the game i'm making at the moment)

- wrestling (yes, professional wrestling, i got into WWE content this spring, yes, it's rhea ripley's fault)

- vidya gaymes i'm playing

- music & playlists (i make a lot of those)

- commentary on various media; just off the top of my head i've had some kind of post about the Daria movie "Is It Fall Yet?" brewing for a while now

etc. etc. we'll see. i can already sense i'm overthinking this first post a bit, so imma cut the cord here.

i love you bye

That sounds good. You might find some ideas in Recurring Posts, which can be any topic you like. Many bloggers use those to maintain activity.

If you're new here from Cohost, then you might like newcomers which is covering the shutdown and providing resources about Dreamwidth. You can introduce yourself in the Friending Meme or find your Cohost friends if you wish. These are also resources you can share with other folks riding the wave from Cohost.

See also eggbug_club and eggbug_writes for communities devoted to former users of Cohost.

Gaming is popular on Dreamwidth. You might like gaming.

Yay! I'm happy to hear that.

Slow is good; don't overload yourself. I suggest focusing on one thing at a time -- visit one community and comment on a post, or make a post in your blog, etc. Don't try to do everything at once. Look at the post builder and use its Rich Text vs. HTML modes to learn some of the most common things, like italics or inserting a link. The more you learn to do, the more confident you'll feel.
