Trial and Failure has received an overhaul; is back in produciton

After a very long hiatus, is was brought to my attention that Trial and Failure still receives visitors. Not a lot, not by a long shot, but still; yesterday, 15 people visited the site. That’s enough to get me back to writing.

I’ve pretty much redone the entire website. The theme is cleaner, the pages have ads, and I’ve removed every page except original written works. I’ve decided to take Trial and Failure and turn it into my creative writing website; now I’m not so pressured to update constantly, and what I do put out will be of higher quality.

If somebody is actually reading this and is wondering what happened to the forums, I’m content to just let the rest in peace. With the new philosophy of creative writing, there isn’t much to talk about. Not that there ever really was. Plus, I’m having trouble logging in as the admin; I think I lost the password. Oops. I’ll get it back eventually. But I’m grateful for the eight-or-so people that helped get Trial and Failure off the ground, even if it is just hovering several inches. If the desire comes to me, I’ll overhaul the forums or just make more.

Just like before, I don’t expect anyone to see this, or my site. The most visitors in one day within the past couple months was 88 sometime March; clearly I’m not an Internet sensation. But for the few eyes that do read this, I thank you for taking the time.

Oh yeah; and the site is now accessible by typing TrialandFailure.net into the URL bar. Yay!

Visit Trial and Failure here.

It’s hard to read books you’re not interested in.

It really is. Curse you, Summer assignments!

The book I have to read is a mystery novel. I hate mysteries. With a burning, fiery passion. Mostly because they all have so many characters that it’s hard to keep track of who is who and what they do. And I have no idea if this is normal, but if I can’t picture a character in my head, I cannot read the book. Well, I can, but very very slowly. Compared to how I normally read, which I like to think is pretty fast.

D’oh, here I am again; talking to cyberspace with most likely nobody to receive the message. Such is the dread of the vastness of the Interwebz.

Getting my bearings

Trial and Failure, I am proud to announce, can now be found through trialandfailure.net (.com was taken). So now I might as well reveal that one secret project.

But this isn’t the news blog. Go there for the reveal.

Anywho, I might make this personal blog a daily thing. Wouldn’t that be fun? I think so. So how about I try that, huh?

Woo! Finally!

Dear GOD, Tumblr.’s startup process sucks. Very badly. Sure, go ahead and not tell me how to rename my blog! That’s fine!

Poo.

Anywho, if you’re reading this, that means I got this blog under way. Which is good, because I’d rather have a personal blog apart from my main site. If I decide to update away from a computer with my super-nifty iPod Touch, I don’t have to update the site. The news blog will remain, however.

So…a new blog, yet again. By the time you see this, the personal blog on Trial and Failure will be long-gone. Which is fine by me.

I now have, though, a world of possibilities. I could write poetry, for example! Let’s try that for a bit-

There once was a man from Kentucky, Who had, in his house, a pet ducky! The duck escaped; dread! The man is now dead! He killed himself; oh, how yucky!

…Yes, it’s clear that this blog won’t focus on my disgusting rhythmic verse. It will, however, be a personal front; I’ve been told my idle, diary-esque writings are quite entertaining. I hope so; otherwise my humorous writings would probably suck.

In other news, it’s two in the morning because my sleep schedule has been thrown off. Delightful. I’m not updating the site every day like I planned; I’ll do my best.

And who knows; oftentimes when I let my mind wander like I will here, I get ideas for articles. I also gets ideas from other websites. I’m always so worried; I read an article and it gives me an idea for something of the same subject. Plaigerism? I hope not. I also hope I didn’t spell that wrong.

Wait…why did I just apologize for not updating the site every single day? I’m only one person! I’m surprised I get material for every other day! Don’t you like stuff other than news rants all the time? Because with those, it’s a trade-off; you get potentially daily updates, but I only input interjections, so jokes don’t come as often.

With actual articles, like “Dear Bug that was On My Floor” or whatever it was called, it’s all my original writing, jokes come (hopefully) often, and hey, they’re fun to write. But I can’t pull these things out of thin air; I need to step back and get ideas, you know?

You know, I honestly hope you (presently few) readers enjoy Trial and Failure. Even though I may not update, for whatever reason, for two or three days, I put a lot of work into it, and I try to give you stuff you’ll enjoy. Which is wht you’ll never get, for example, a thesis on history unless it’s satirical.

…Wait… That’s not a bad idea! Taking key points in history and retelling them humorously? I like it! See folks; my creative illusion: I write aimlessly and get ideas from…thin…air…

Heh-heh…

I’ll show myself out.
