Here’s where I try it. I’m going to put this out there:
I’m going to write a new blog post every day.
It might be shit. I could spend half an hour to an hour a day vomiting useless crap into this blog until it’s filled with the sort of trite garbage that the internets will eventually call the reason for society’s downfall. Or, I could put something profound into the world that, upon reading, genuinely changes the course of just one person’s life.
It’ll likely be the former.
But, I’m going to do it anyway. I am a writer, after all. At least, that’s what I call myself now to keep from curling up in a heap in the corner, sucking my thumb, and weeping over my terrible decisions. The posts in my blog will, as most blogs do, run toward my interests. You’ll see updates about my novel or other stories I’m writing, one of the traditional game designs I’m working on, or any of my wide and varied geek interests: traditional gaming (board/card/role-playing), video games, comic books, movies, sci-fi & fantasy books, etc., etc. I also enjoy reviewing things, so sometimes you’ll see more “official” style reviews of the things I mention above. Sometimes, you might just see my stream of consciousness played out in words.
To add a bit of purpose to this particular post, I’ll let you all know what I’m up to this month: I’ve made it a goal to finish the first draft of my first novel by the end of February. I’m in the final stages of the final act, so it shouldn’t take a hell of a lot more, but the ending is proving harder for me to construct than I originally though. As I write, I’ll be posting updates here as well as word-count updates on Twitter (where you should follow me @GeekElite).
My second goal for February is to keep up the daily blog posts. Hopefully the things I write here will be interesting, and I’ll try not to make them as long as the dissertation from yesterday. If you enjoy the things I say, feel free to drop me a line via Twitter or leave comments on my blog. I can’t guarantee that I’ll answer you, but I’ll try when I have time.
Thanks for listening. Uh… reading.
