ARGH.

I want to say, well, so many things. But the structure of dreamwidth doesn't allow me to chatter endlessly the way I can on tumblr. on tumblr, everybody's following a couple hundred people, so it doesn't matter so much when one person puts 6 text posts on your dash in a row. But Dreamwidth is slower, and more deliberate, and even though I don't feel a need to be ~articulate~ and ~intelligent~ I do feel a need to not annoy people by putting 4 posts on their reading page on the same day. It's just that when I sit down to write, I really do bang out a lot of thoughts, and I want to post all of them

[right now, for example, I want to make a post rounding up my thoughts on twilight, and a post about aromantic rep and community in fandom, and a post about my original characters. gahh
and I also want to talk about the fact that I have real skinny wrists?? the fuck]

Mostly I want Dreamwidth to have a queue feature, or a scheduled post feature, so that I can make a lot of posts and then set them to post once a day, and delay them as necessary if I say something else on that day. I feel like making 2 or 3 posts a day is too many for the current speed at which Dreamwidth moves.

But more than anything else I want to not annoy people. I'm not sure why I'm applying this standard to myself - it certainly doesn't annoy me when my friends put three of four posts on my reading page, I'm just excited and happy to read what they have to say, but I keep thinking I'm uniquely annoying, whether because I'm younger than the average DW user, especially the ones in my circle, or because I keysmash too much, or because I'm just annoying cause I'm me and there's nothing I can really do to change that apart from not being me anymore.

I'm trying to get back into a pattern of regular activity here and I keep falling off, because what are brain, how do executive function. But I'm perfectly happy to see a few posts a day from you here! The Tumblr thing where it's 10+ a day from every blogger ever and they're mostly reblogs is exhausting, but there's a *lot* of latitude between current DW pace and that, and without instant reblog mechanisms it can't really get like that at all.
