I find it hard to write about anything that isn't a personal project status update. Publicly, anyways. I think it comes down an acute awareness that I have opinions as opposed to wisdom, and healthy sense of my own deficiencies or an advanced case of imposter syndrome. It has the benefit that I largely don't embarrass myself online (not that I haven't ever, mind), but it does mean that if I get mad about something I have opinions on there isn't really a lot I can do about it but spin my wheels. I can't explain the intricacies of, say, the RPG edition war bad take I'm fuming about to my wife every time I come across one.

One way to combat this is to just reduce my browsing, but that runs into the baby-bathwater problem. I've accidentally run across insightful stuff I agree with, as much as I've run into shallow dumb stuff I hate. I think what I'd like to try is to be more engaged. Not in the sense of picking fights with these Internet strangers, but in that I ought to post more frequently. The new year is coming up, and while last year's "post more" resolution was a failure, maybe if I had a specific daily topic I could make some hay (and justify the hosting fees I pay for this site).

I have my heartbreaker, so I could post new rules elements and/or engine tweaks daily, maybe, or just post an RPG opinion. That may be too pundit-y for me though. I have most of a month to think about it though.
