Missing Activity

So I realize I have lacked a lot of activity on this blog lately. Unfortunately I’ve had to pick a lot of what I could do each day and much of monitoring and providing content to my blog had vanished with the fact that I still have six or so drafts that are half written in my draft collection on this blog. That does not mean I haven’t been doing nothing though.

I have instead been working on outside posts to various sites and most of all been working on my next novel, and a variety of short stories for a few anthologies that I’ve been working on with some people. So because of this I have discovered two solutions to solve my issues with not keeping my blog up to date.

The first possible solution is to actually turn this blog into a blog, with personal recollections of things that occur in my life or are spurred on by my life. This means it will turn less away from a showcase of all my fiction and more toward my thoughts and rants. I’ll still have the occasional fictional pieces on the blog appear but daily or every other day will be just my recollections on something of concern.

The other option is to be releasing the pieces of writing that I do daily, regardless of what is actually finished on it. This gives me a form of accountability but also would likely end in instances of pieces not being complete and people being annoyed that I may stop a story right in the middle of something and I would be unlikely to go back to it until a day or two or more.

Personally I think the first option is better for my overall blog, which means it might end up being the direction I go. This way I can still post fictional pieces as I accumulate them, and my blog actually becomes what it was meant to be. Not to mention I get content up that won’t mentally drain me and make me not want to write anything else like my novels.

Depending on what I go with it will be up over the next few days and from then on I will be back on a steady rhythm of posting things on my blog.

As a final note, here are some of the links to the topics I have been writing over the past couple months.

The first is from Mookychick and deals with genderbending and writing.

The Second comes from wordchazer and handles how Profanity affects World Creation in Writing.

And a few reviews for Michael Montoure’s new book Permanent Damage and a review of Jim Butcher’s newest book Cold Days.

And that is all for the moment that I can dig up!
