A 2026 Project

 Hi, my name is [ Quill ] 

I've been inspired this year, like many other people, to return to the analogue. Slowly, my spotify music hoard is being transfered to files in my music folder, with a hope to burn it onto CDs in the future. Twitter has been deleted from my phone, instagram and tumblr are now under safe lock and key. So why am I here?

This is social media without an audience; if I truly want to create then I have to upload somewhere and here theres no algorithm or AI to fight against or fear. Here I can write entire essays or update projects in real time, reviewing my progress and finally finding time on the internet to stop and think. Ultimately, I do not want an audience, but I need to treat this as if it did or else the experiment will fail. 

The end goal is actually to be more comfortable with the idea of writing. I can sew, draw, knit, paint, and hell, recently I've learnt how to make lace. But the concept of a non-visual medium has always intimidated me. Words always escape and suddenly a well articulated point has run off into the pale. It has even been a recent problem in my latest exam season, constantly fighting my articulation with my knowledge. So if the concept of getting words on a page no longer frightens me? Then I declare this a success. 

So here are some ideas for future me to write about:

• exploring Joan of Arc's monarchical relationship to religion
• sewing a non-historical top for the first time in over five years
• taskmaster: why is it so refreshing?

If I eventually write them, they will gain a cute little hyperlink, if not then assume I'm dead.

I look forward to this experiment and what may arise from it. See you soon.
