Hello everyone!
No, I had not forgotten about my blog. Yes, I will be returning to my regular posting schedule.
In part I took a break to rethink my blog. To decide where I was going with it and what I wanted it to look like.
No, there will not be a massive rebranding here around the corner. Been there, did that, all done.
I am still passionate about story telling, and about creating beautiful stories. However, it had gotten hard to sit down every week and try to think up something else story related. After I had worked all day.
The creative juices were not flowing.
So I came up with a schedule of what I will post each week. I hope you like it, but if you decide you hate it you will have to give me a good reason why I should change it. This schedule took all week to make. I would prefer not to revisit it.
All in all, it is pretty simple. In a four week month I will post a short story, a book review, a history post, and a writing how-to. If there happen to be five Wedensdays… Well, I’ll figure it out when I get there.
A quick note about the short stories. They will all be mine own, and they will all be connected. Not necessarily by the same characters, though they may pop up in multiple stories, but by the same world and the same plot thread.
No, I am not about to tell you what they are about.
*goes to figure out what they are about*
Still not telling.
Anyway. Someday I hope to be so well prepared that I am writing and scheduling posts ahead of time. Today is not that day. I am just content with knowing what I will be writing about next month.
See you all next week!
