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.
What to talk about today? Honestly, I have nothing. So why am I here with a blog post if I have nothing? In trying to make goals for the year, I decided to be more active on here. I want to write and post more. Why? Because I enjoy doing this. Sometime ago, I began a blog under a different name with a different focus. My goal was to post weekly. I’d read somewhere that when doing an author blog, that was a good pace to go at. When I started that now neglected blog, that’s what I did. I sat down and wrote something, anything, once a week and posted it. To my surprise, I lasted longer at it than I thought I would. I think I had even picked a day to post. Maybe it was Monday or Wednesday? I don’t remember. I could check, but I can’t be bothered right now. It’s not really important. What is important is I’d stuck to the weekly blogging for some time and I enjoyed the heck out of it. In fact, if I’d became busy during the week and it came time to post something, I’d drop everything an...
