Building my brand. I got tired. The catchy titles that now read way too cutesy, trying way too hard. I thought I ran out of things to say, but I was saying them on Twitter in 140 characters because why blog asides and snark and memes? Then Tumblr came along and that&#8217;s what Tumblr&#8217;s for. And porn. People told me to get on Facebook and indeed! That is where the fans are, but I&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/moriahjovan.com\/talesofdunham\/blog\/thoughts-on-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">covered<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/moriahjovan.com\/talesofdunham\/blog\/facebook-on-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">topic<\/a>. Pinterest lets me post a crap-ton of pretty pictures, but I don&#8217;t think people browse other people&#8217;s pinboards just to see what they like.<\/p>\n<p>But I decided to blog asides and snark and memes, along with things I&#8217;m thinking about because I need to get back into the discipline of essay writing. It&#8217;s always been my pet medium and I&#8217;ve neglected it terribly.<\/p>\n<p>So to those of you who&#8217;ve got me in your RSS feeds and follow my mirror posts on Goodreads, you may have a deluge of posts for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed.
