1st of September! · 8:55pm Sep 1st, 2015
So in addition to new, more involved blogs, I've decided to blog a general "State of the Author" type of blog at the beginning of each month only.
I figure, unless something drastic happens, I'd rather just keep this kind of thing as a one time a month option, right? Anyway, since this is the very first one, here's what I intend to do:
-Register my kid's LEGO products for the monthly raffle.
...
Okay, maybe not the whole list of stuff I intend to do, but here are some things you might be interested in.
Poll Results are out!
Apparently you guys want me to talk about the craft of writing first and foremost! So my first in depth blog will be about that. I have to decide a title for such blogs, so they're easy to spot.
Second place came writing about my own stories, followed by Video Chats with authors and finally How-To Blogs.
The video chats will be like the old online panels I used to do, and I'll start drafting a few soon. And the Writing about my own Stories... I think I have some things to say. Probably without spoilers. Maybe.
Recommendations
I'll also be doing recommendations once a month at least. When I'm not writing every review for Seattle's Agents under the pretense that I'm different people, I'm not a reviewer, nor do I consider myself to have the best taste in the world. (Unless it's food, but that's another matter altogether.) But, there are some excellent stories out there that I feel could get more attention, and while I won't sit down and write something akin to what the likes of Titanium Dragon, Present Perfect or Chris do, I do have plenty of people that might be interested in reading quality stuff. So, I'll try and do at least one recommendation a month to go read something I found awesome.
Coming Soon (and that means this month)
Two new secret stories!* Shh. It's a secret. No spoilers!
The culmination of TNo1A's current Loyalty Mission.
Out of Hiatus: Three Sisters: Like Fudge
TSC: Fragments will be updated this month
Support
Remember that you can add your support towards my rent payments by choosing to be one of my patrons. While the stories and blogs will continue regardless, you do get certain perks like:
*Knowing in advance about upcoming stories.
*Helping to choose new topics for in-depth blogs and some that will be Patron-only.
*You get to participate on live-writing of the stories.
*That warm, fuzzy feeling you get for helping a single dad that needs it.
Also, while it says "by content" what I really mean is: "Once a Month." I just don't want to automate a system to do anything when I might have a month with no updates for some reason... and really any little help really goes a long way.
Man, that "Blogs Abou..." option was really popular

that's what sheer... I'll be over here in the shame corner.Everything is wonderful.
Hell yeah, I need me some post-TPC changeling details.
Blog posts, eh? Nice.
And... screw it. You seem like a decent fellow, Wanderer. I hate to kill you. *Becomes patreon thingie*
Every time I see people doing "State of the Author" posts I want to do some kind of CNN style analysis/fact checking in the comments.
But I'm lazy.
3363229 Ha! You can't claim to be lazy.

Well, these days I'll agree with that. And if I wasn't already doing so much, that's exactly the kind of thing I'd waste my time on. So I guess it's that I'm busy.
Give me a break, this is a new concept for me!
3363213 Dude, thank you, I really appreciate it!
3363253 You're welcome... but I was also kinda hoping for a 'Princess bride' thing. ;) :p :D
Excellent.
