Story Status-ing

So Friday night I was at yoga and they were having a special class after my usual Friday class.  It was called The Monthly Mystic Moon Workshop.  For some reason during class I couldn't stop repeating the words Monthly Mystic Moon.  I guess it just has a ring to it.

Anyways... So I decided to write a little one page story thing to it after yoga... I posted it on my Facebook in chunks of status updates.  I'll probably keep going with it.  Or maybe not.  I don't know yet.  It's a LOT easier to story status than it is to story tweet that's for sure.  But I think the story that I came up with for the Monthly Mystic Moon thing could have some potential to it...

I've been trying to keep going with my story tweet story that I've got going on twitter.  It's just not that same though....

When I say that... I mean... someone that I used to know used to read the previously posted twitter stories (and all my twitter updates) and... I don't know.  It was easier to write knowing that she read it.  Now I have no idea if she still does.  She probably doesn't.  She probably doesn't care.  She's probably all about other new things and other new people in her life and probably doesn't even think of me at all.  Heck, it's been forever and a day anyways.  I really don't understand why she's still on my mind so much... But she still is.  Oh well.  Haha, yeah, obviously I still think about her or I wouldn't be writing this.  She was definitely just one of the coolest, most interesting, most beautiful, most talented, funniest of people I've ever met so far in this lifetime of mine and so much more awesomeness than I could put into words right about now, I really could go on forever and a day talking about that girl...

But...

Well anyways, I digress... back to what I was posting about... So, I mean I know where I want to go with my social media stories... I'm just not SUPER motivated to post.  I've also been busy with things in life... But, like I said, it was easier to post knowing I had a regular reader.  That one and only regular reader.

Hmmm... Oh so, this past Saturday I had a thought... I might actually make a story page.  I think it could be a neat idea to try and get a readership of stories.  Maybe go back to using my personal Twitter and Facebook how they are probably supposed to be used... and move my stories to a fan page.  Then people can just like my page if they want to follow the stories.  Maybe I could have people interact with the stories and suggest where they think the story should go, kind of like a choose your own adventure if anyone remembers those books.  They were probably my most favorite books as a kid.  I loved those.

So if I do decide to create a social media story fan page I'll definitely start posting all my stories there instead of on Twitter or my regular Facebook.  Maybe I can pick up fans on a Facebook story page and get a regular readership there of my stories.  Maybe it could turn into something more from there and really take off... Or it could just become a small group of people reading my stories on a Facebook fan page and never go anywhere.  I'd be fine with that too.

Here's to big things in the future... Or small things.  Or anything... As long as there's things.  So, look for a story page at some point in the future.  Or don't look.  Since no on really reads this anyways.  I feel like this blog is similar to me standing in my kitchen talking to my cats.  They just look at me as I talk to them and then when I finish they walk up to me because they want to get pet but they could care less about what I actually had to say.  Eh, sometimes it just feels good to talk... Or type... even if no one is paying any attention.
