Update, Things Coming Soon, Subscribing and Where the Heck Have You Been Zetta??

Sorry I've been silent most of the year. These things happen. So where have I been? Writing and failing, life getting in the way, and other time bandits who latched on to me. I might write some boring blog posts about some of this in the future, but not now.

Right now I wanted to get out at least a brief post about a few things.

First, in case any of you have noticed, the subscribe button that was once at the top of this site is gone. This site is hosted through Blogger and it used Feedburner to deliver blog posts via email. In July that particular Feedburner service ended. While I didn't have many subscribers, it'd still be nice for those who wish to receive posts via email to be able to do so. Like many others who use Blogger I've been researching alternatives to this, and I think I've found a good alternative. I'll let you all know when I have something set up.

Second, I plan on doing some site changes. Hopefully this will go without hiccups, but if you come upon this site and it looks wonky for a hot second or two, that could be why. I'll probably be doing some things in stages as I'm busy with other projects and stuff at the moment. Which brings me to the next item.

Third, while I'm not making promises at this point, I am hard at work on another story in the Holiday Wishes Series. I also plan on revisiting the two Christmas stories in that series that I released last year to find errors and do minor editing and such. The stories should update automatically on Kindle, but who knows for sure when it comes to Amazon.

Last year when I decided to write the Christmas stories, I'd originally planned four stories total. That was really too ambitious for the time of the year I started them. But hey, this has been a learning experience for sure.

I'd made some rough sketches of all four stories last year when I started this project. I recently dug out the remaining two story sketches off my back-up files and have a good start on them. Hopefully, I'm not working on them in a mad rush like I did last year. After those stories are done, I'm hoping to keep the pace and get more stories out after the first of the year. Unlike this past year. Again, I'm not making any promises on any of this, I'm just trying to do the best I can right now.

I'm hoping within the next week or so to get a subscriber thing back up on the site, so keep checking back until then. I also hope to get back to posting regularly on this site again, but like I said, at this point, I'm not making solid promises on anything and just taking things as they come until I can get on better footing with all of this. Basically, I wanted to let you all know that I'm still here, and that I do plan on releasing some more stories soon.

Subscribe by Email is Going Away. . . For Now

  When I first set up this site, FeedBurner had a nice subscribe by email option built into the site. I really appreciated it. FeedBurner was by no means perfect, but then again, nothing is. Google eventually shut down the subscribe by email part of FeedBurner. Like many other bloggers, I searched for a replacement. Like many others, I opted to go with follow.it for this service. Again, this was not a perfect option, but let’s go back to nothing is perfect. With follow.it, they placed ads in the emails, which were not too obtrusive. I figured I could live with this for now. If I gained more subscribers, I’d either go for a paid version of follow.it to remove the ads or something else. I always subscribe to my own blog so that way I can monitor things and make sure they work. I also subscribe to a few other bloggers who use the same service. A few months ago, I noticed that instead of putting my post content in the email, follow.it instead sent a link to click on to read the post. I...

A Notebook of Productivity - An Attempt to Get It Together

  I’m always struggling to get my shit together and be more productive in life. Most especially my writing. If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, then you already know this. I’ve talked about this in several posts on this blog. Back in May , I wrote a post about all the things I was working on. As always, I got lazy and didn’t really work on any of it. It was also back in May when I came up with the idea for my latest story, The Worst Man. That story sort of took my attention over everything else I was planning on doing, like learning how to build eBooks without an online converter, and other things I talked about in that post. As a result, when it came time to publish that story, I yet again used the Reedsy editor to convert my story to ePub. Which is fine. I love the Reedsy converter, and I was even thinking that maybe I’d just stick with it. Except when I went to do the final conversion, there was a hiccup on Reedsy’s side of things, and I didn’t get my ePub to co...

A Valentine's Gift Coming This Weekend

I’ve been trying to stay warm these past two weeks since we’ve had another one of those polar vortex things in my part of the world. In trying to do so, I’ve been hard at work on the next story in my Wedding Troubles Series. As of now, I’m not sure when I’ll get this story out, but it's coming along and I’m making lots of progress. During all this cold and snow, I thought of Valentine’s Day. Since I write romance, I figured this was a good time of the year to offer a little gift to everyone. So be sure to check back on Friday to see what it is!
