A Break from Serials, Among Other Things
by Not a lot of blogging lately, hmm? And you may or may not have noticed that I’m taking a break from serials right now, having allowed both Heroes Inc and A Matter of Honour to run to completion without immediately starting another. Also, April is shaping up to be the lowest monthly word count since the pandemic started because I’ve pretty much only done editing this month, plus just a little blogging. The reason for all of these is the same: I’ve been nose to the grindstone, pedal to the metal, shoulder to the wheel working on getting my teaching ESL course done, or as done as possible before…

Changing Up the Blogging Plan
by So while I’m still not ready to announce the big change in life direction that I’m working towards, there are a couple of little things that are going to have visible adjustments. One of those is the basic blogging strategy I’ve been pursuing. Up to now, this year I’ve been trying to slowly ramp up with the long-term goal being to be adding something to the blog every day.

Since the pandemic started forcing things closed in Ontario, I’ve been averaging about 4 posts per week. Before that, in 2020, I was averaging 3 posts every two weeks. June has been a huge increase. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve got more to write about or because more of what I want to write about has a better chance of making it…

The November Blog Plan
by I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year. It was cool last year, winning with 50,544 new words of fiction on a single project in a single month (and I slacked off the last day since I’d technically won the night before with 50,010 words). Very cool, even if I was a bit burnt out at the end of it. I don’t have time this year. Not even close. Too much going on, and too much to catch up on, some real life and some no less real even if it’s pretty much virtual. There are a couple of things I’ve even been avoiding, but I can’t mentally afford to do…
