Lately I have been blogging via my other blog, Encounters of the Daily Kind. I don't know why, but I feel like The Smokey Glass should be mostly dark or reflective, and reserved to capture my growth as a writer.

Each time I want to publish a post, I try to think about which blog to post to. I guess I don't have a good enough game plan for either blog, I haven't quite "branded" each one. Yet, I am not comfortable with posting to just one of them. When I think of Encounters, I think about funny, ironic happenings. On the contrary, when I think of this blog, I think of writing my autoethnography and my struggles associated with reframing a particular story of my life. Then I get frustrated because I don't want either blog to be about just one thing.

I'm not sure what I need to do here. It also probably doesn't help that I haven't worked on my autoethnogrpahy project in over a month so haven't felt much like writing on this blog or even thinking about it. I fear starting back up on the autoethnography because each time I work on it I seem to end up in a really dark place. Since I stopped working on it a month ago, I have gained a more light-hearted perspective on many things in my life. I need to finish it though, I want to get back into it, I am just afraid of becoming angry again.
