A writer in a daydream

Choosing a blog address/name is both a happy and seemingly arduous task for me. There are just tons of wonderful and flowery adjectives or even simple words to choose from. Further, you can even pick words in various languages instead. I’ve encountered blogs that chose French words; some were in Korean, Filipino and Italian though the writers were not natives of that country. It’s very easy to take an inspiration from things beyond borders. Indeed, this a good exercise to get your brain juices work and let your creativity shine.

And so, the quest for my new blog name began. My previous blog in my multiply account was named “edgiwedgie”; yes I take pride in coining the “term”. It was derived from my moniker and something that sounds like it; hence the name. Initially, I wanted to spell it as edgieweggie. But it turns out that it was already taken by another user. Wow. If I remember it correctly, it was registered to a man named Edgie (we share the same unusual moniker). Anyway, the thought is still there though my nickname was not spelled as the way that I intended it to. Nonetheless, it still sounded like a cute rendition of my name (at least that’s what I believed in) so I continued with it. There it was, my very first blog (which I eventually deactivated due to some issues). Anyhow, I must admit that I did long to create another one after deactivating it. But something happened; school happened--- tons of papers to submit, examinations to pass, projects to finish, and thesis to defend.

Now that I finally had the time, I eventually decided to create a new blog. Thus, the challenge of choosing a creative name/address started again. This time, I opted for a more sophisticated one than before. And unlike my previous blog, this has more meaning and in depth emotions for me. Everything just collided-- creating a blog and practicing an old favorite piece of mine. Yes, I chose the name of the piano piece that I am currently studying now—Debussy’s Reverie. It’s as if I was floating on air while listening to and playing it. The melody is so sublime that I can’t help but close my eyes while playing. The piece is just so beautiful. And there it was, I felt like I was in reverie, so the blog was named “Edge in Reverie”. Creating entries in a digital diary is just like that; writing in an intangible world. It provides me with a feeling where I can store jewels in a labyrinth within a daydream.

Indeed, the possibilities are truly endless. Starting a blog means choosing a creative name for it. I may even relate it to a baby’s name selection— there are a lot of choices to choose from. Let your creativity out and be inspired by the things around you. Life is too beautiful and God blessed us with an environment where we can take our inspiration from. The sky is the limit (or not).
