Even as I peer over my overheated monitor and into the middle distance, I see August looming with all its terrible potential. Mostly this means that everyone will be taking the month off and some of my favourite blogs will even * gasp * stop!
Rest assured that I won’t be doing that in August, stalwart reader. Oh no, I’ll be starting that kind of shenanigans right NOW!!
See, here’s the thing. I promised myself that I’d blog three times a week. Faithfully. And, with a few exceptions, I think I’ve held to that promise for well on four years now. With Cara d’Bastian joining the personalities in my head, I was still blogging three times a week…except it was Tuesdays at Cara’s and Wednesdays and Fridays here.
Well I missed Wednesday, didn’t I? And that’s because I’m smack in the middle of starting up my self-publishing business. Just because WAR GAMES has come back from the editors doesn’t mean that I can just rest on my backside and do nothing. It’s been formatting, and signing contracts, and setting up accounts, and documenting everything somewhere. It’s been learning about Cascading Style Sheets, and relearning HTML and trying to get a handle on whether I should use Anthemion Jutoh together with, or instead of, jEdit, Sigil, Mobipocket creator, Adobe plug-ins…well, the list goes on and on.
So, it’s time to make my annual hard decision and cut back this blog to once a week. Fridays. I’ll still be at Cara’s on Tuesdays but, the rest of the time, I’ll be working damn hard on other, background stuff. I may post at other times of the week if some startling news comes in but, other than that, it’s Fridays from now on.
Have a good weekend and I’ll catch you next week.
