Another Blog Post? In the Same Month???

Using three question marks in my title...wow, what a risk. I wish I knew how to make my keyboard produce the interrobang. What is an interrobang you ask? Oh, you have come to the right place. And by right place, I mean the perfect place to follow an odd segue before the blog post even gets started. Pretty amazing. You must be feeling very lucky right now.

Just a reminder that you will eventually be reading a blog written by an author. Just...bear with me.

This, my friends, is an interrobang:

You may now ooh and ahh. And before you ask, no, I don't know how to make it smaller on the page but I also feel like it doesn't deserve to be. It's such a never-used thing.


She's been around for a while and you can read more about her in this VERY OLD ARTICLE here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/15/social-media-icon-interrobang


I only say "very old" in all caps because when I found that article a warning bar flashed informing me that this article is more than nine years old. Yes, thank you, The Guardian, I really didn't want a reminder that 2013 is so far away.


Anyway, onto the real meat of the blog, if you can even call it a blog post at this point. This is more like a splash of a strange journal entry with a side of vague blog-post-iness...


I have made it my current mission to be highly active on social media now. I have what could essentially (no editors here to tell me to stop using adverbs so deal with it) be described as a "sprint to the finish line" as my publication date rapidly approaches so I will be using the tools available to me to advertise said publication.


What that all means is that you'll be seeing much more of me on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.


This is kind of a lame blog post, isn't it? I'm leaving, but with this tidbit: how great would an interrobang cereal be?
