The 2020 joke has been way too overused okay. I wanted to write about my vision for the coming year and 'MMXX' is the best way I can think of expressing it without getting eye-rolls. (Also, MMXX just looks satisfying, doesn't it?)
I know I am half a month late with making a post about my visions for the coming year, but it is something I have thought about since December last year and I just wanted to share it with you all here:) This post is about my vision for this blog in particular (I might share my other resolutions at some point so stay tuned!)
First of all, maybe you are wondering why I changed the name of my blog from 'ourwordsnotmine' to 'ourstoriesnotmine'. I've been thinking about the things that I want to do for the coming year and they extend beyond merely words. I want to tell stories in different formats and media, in particular visual and aural story telling, like this post that I've made before: https://osnm.yeung.me/rantdom/augustorm . Ultimately, words are just a means of story-telling, so I thought changing the name of my blog just expands the scope of things I would like to experiment with.
This leads on to my next point, which is that I will be focusing more on my instagram page this year. I really want to make the content I create as accessible as possible, and mainly basing it on my instagram page is the best way to do that. (So that I'm not making people click here and there every time I make a post).
And last but certainly not least, I hope to write shorter posts but post more frequently in the coming year. I feel like in the past, I put too much pressure on myself to write something phenomenal that I just end up shying away from writing, which completely defeats the purpose of starting this blog in the first place.
But all in all, I am actually extremely excited for the upcoming year. There are many things that I would like to share and it would mean the world to me if you joined me on this journey!
