Lions & Lambs
I look back over the last month and I realize that I started out the month like a lion on prowl for prey with my posting and was well on my way toward getting a post everyday. Then I had hit a snag or two and before I knew it, I was three or four days without a post. Then it go worse, I finished the month with one post in ten or twelve days. What whimpering finish to the month.
I had thought I may try to do a major push for the month of March, but I already know that come the middle of the month I headed to Mississippi for the SCA’s Gulf Wars, and between travel to and from I will be out at least ten days. In addition to that, the next two weeks I have about 100 things I got to get organized, finished up, or otherwise accomplished prior to my departure – which is really going to limit my ability to post things during that time as well.
I had an inkling that while I will at the war I would make a post daily or something about what was going on at the war and how things were going with what I was being involved with. The more I thought about that though, the more I realized that at least half of why I am taking a ten days to live like a medieval warrior is to avoid the constant pull of technology support and such that I have in my daily life. So I plan to avoid it entirely. And all of that may be a theory anyway, as in the past cell connectivity has been patchy on and limited when on site at best.
I do have a new plan though. I am going to make notes in a paper journal on a daily basis. Upon my return I am going to post those to a blog. Note that I did not say necessarily to this blog. One thing I have decided to do in the next few weeks is set up a blog that has a much more medieval reenactment, fighting, jousting, and in general that era of history focus. I am going to of course keep feeds back and forth between the blogs, but having such a focus will allow me to put some good web traffic stats to good use and allow me to focus SEO for a potential bump in advertising revenue.
It will also allow me to have an outlet for the campaign season, during which I plan to be very active this year. I will have notes from various events both SCA and IJA mounted and jousting activities, as well as ground fighting activities that I plan to engage within.
And now I am sitting here realizing my title and original thought did not get in this post much at all. Somewhere, the original thought was I came in like a lion a bit early, but March is the month for the babies on the farm to start happening, especially the lambing – which the babies are always so cute. Perhaps I will pick up next time.
Can't wait to see the new site! I have a just-for-fun blog, Destrier Today, at www.joustingwarhorse.com. Check it out-with tongue firmly lodged in cheek!
Oddly enough, it was seeing your site that gave me the inspiration to get rolling with it.
