It’s been one heck of a month for me, guys. Not that you would know it because I’ve been characteristically closemouthed about it. But that’s not the reason for this update.
Well, it’s not the entire reason for this update.
I have a few ideas of what I want to do with the blog, and the main one is introducing a new type of post.
I’m thinking about doing some how-tos, not many and mostly humorous in nature.
How original, right?
I got the idea of doing it not too long ago, but haven’t implemented it into my schedule yet because of the chaos that consumed my life about three weeks ago. (More on that in a bit.)
As things stand with my Below Average Blog now, I have four types of posts that I write regularly. There are these Life Updates, where I toss around what’s been new with me. There are “reviews” that I do for movies, shows, games, and books, and those are hardly professional. (In fact, they’re Below Average content. Get it?) There are top-numbered lists, where I write about my favorite things from different categories, and then there are the posts where I just shoot the shit.
So why not add some how-tos in there?
I also want to start consistently adding an image per post. Even if that image is reused. It makes the whole thing look prettier, doesn’t it?
Posting once every 5 days has really worked out for me, by the way. That was the last big change I made to the blog, and I’m glad I did. My work schedule was getting a bit overwhelming.
I mean, work’s still relentless, and I’m still falling a bit behind on the post scheduling, but I’m enjoying this level of activity more than the panic-fest from before.
So I’m happy to report that that change was a success.
Now all I need to do is devote more time to reading my fellow bloggers’ work than I do now.
For those of you who’ve stuck around this far, well, I guess you might want to know what the “chaos” thing I was referring to earlier was all about. I’ve been having some medical issues, nothing too serious, but jarring for me nonetheless. I’m planning to go full-on rant about it in a later post in the future. But rest assured, my health is more or less okay (average, you might say), and the issue lay mostly in my troubles with my health provider and his prescriptions than with the ailment I’m dealing with. I am fine. I’m just more…irked…with doctors than I used to be.
It took up my time and my mind like you wouldn’t believe, and now that I’ve got it behind me (somewhat), I’m ready to focus my attention on my writing wholeheartedly once again.
Back to the blog.
If you guys have any ideas or wishes or comments on what to include for future how-to posts, feel free to let me know down below! (In the comments.) I’m all ears. I’m mostly knowledgeable in writing, proofreading, navigating social situations poorly, reading, bad movies, and being a plebeian gamer.
The Below Average Blog 
Glad you’re back. I like the idea of “how-to” posts. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make a box shape out of wood. Like, making a wood planter or something. How to reinforce the corners so it’s stable. I could look it up, probably will at some point, but it’s something I’ve always wondered about?

I made a lamp in wood shop once, but I feel like those skills are locked away along with most everything else I learned in middle school.
