Initial Post

I'm setting up this blog as a sort of project for myself. While I will be thrilled if other people read it and like it, I don't exactly expect there to be many who will find their way to it without me personally directing them to it. Well, at least not at first, but I'd rather not go expounding into possible dreams when I have no clue if they could manifest into reality.

As this project I plan to attempt to more regularly post. I'm hoping for at least every few days, if not even multiple times on some day. I need to keep in mind this is a blog, so it doesn't have to be long, or highly detailed, or even always well thought out (and sometimes the random posts that are a typed stream of thoughts can be the best). I don't have any deadlines other than what I set for myself, so I at least remove some anxiety that way, but I would like to see if I can keep myself motivated enough to at least update regularly. It's not like I have a busy schedule that makes it hard for me to get online, it's really just a motivational issue.

The reason I'm calling this blog "Another Point Of View" is because, quite simply, that's all I'll ever be able to provide; another point of view of the world and aspects of it. I'm only one is over six billion people currently alive. Sure, those who speak English number far less than that, and the ones with internet access and who read blogs are far fewer even, that still leaves millions of people crawling the English speaking webspaces with their own opinions, ideas, and points of view. I can really only speak for myself. I can only offer my observations. And while this does mean I'm very insignificant in this large world, one thing that comes to mind is: so is everyone else.

Some topics I am likely to touch on is transgenderism, atheism, and projects that I do. Currently projects I'm anticipating are making a medieval/rennaisance style dress, and later a steampunk dirndl. I'll be seeing about posting images of the process, from making some sketches for them, plans on how they'll be made, constructing them, and eventually the finished projects. Even still, there will likely be several "off-topic" posts about random things. I could try to keep those cut out, but if I did I likely wouldn't have anything to post many times, and so until I can narrow my focuses down and build more motivation it'll likely be a lot of seemingly random things.
