So, yesterday, I was out running, and I was thinking why my blog is so unpopular when I'm so popular. After all, I only have one approval and an average of around two comments per entry. The first thought I had was that I'm not actually popular, but then I dismissed that when I realized what could be the real reason: My blog didn't have any meaningful content.

Well, of course I got to thinking what I could do to make this blog a little more meaningful. I thought that maybe some interesting information about my life might be nice to hear, but for the main portion of the blog, I wanted to focus on one of my new bionicle-related interests: art.

Unfortuanately, I don't have a scanner. I only have a few pieces of actual, good art so far, but I have a lot of inspiration and a clear direction. The only way I've been able to get any of it onto my computer, though, was by photographing the pictures, which so far results in horrible picture quality. I'm working on fixing my (now broken) camera, and improving the conditions under which I take the pictures, and hopefully I'll be able to post actual art here. Until then, I'll have to just talk about my art: my drawing style, current projects, past projects, and inspirations.

In addition, I might talk a little bit about my writing, specifically the one large bionicle-related epic that I'm working on. With the exception of a few short stories, I have little to no work posted here on BZP, but I have way too many ideas, and with a little luck, writing about them here will help me actually write them.

So here's my planned blog schedule, which is very general and subject to change without notice: I'll have maybe three or four updates a week: an art segment, an epic segment, a weekly update (like Black Six ), and anything else important, probably rank updates and BZPower related stuff. The way it's planned now, Art at the beginning of the week, epic around the middle of the week, update near the end of the week, and BZP stuff whenever I want. Now, I just have to figure out how to make categories...

Oh, and I've got cross-country practice tonight, too. Just to let anbody who cares know. I've been on the team since seventh grade, when you can first join a school sport, and I'm one of the fast kids. The captains (I'm in 10th, so this is my second year, and the captains were last year's 11th- graders) have arranged for anyone who wants to to come to an optional practice every thursday in August (me and some other people have been trying to get the team to practice since summer started ). We're doing interval workouts every day, and when practice officially starts in the last week in August the team will probably do more long-distance runs (which I, and I think everyone else, likes waay better than intervals). Today it's 5x800 (an 800 is half a mile). Can't wait.
