I once took a blogging class and it was remarked that the blog you start in the beginning will not be the blog you are writing in six months. Six plus months into writing this blog I’m finding that’s true….sort of.

Somewhere between not giving the blog the attention it deserves, not spending enough time on creating good ideas, and filling that void with filler I found myself writing about things that in all honesty I don’t want to write about. So I’ve decided to be more discipline about the blog and ditch the filler type posts. No more Serial reviews, no more wacky “48 hours of blogging,” and more of what I want to do. Write from the heart.

So here’s the new line up-

Monday- Monday will be the long form post that includes an outdoor or travel story mixed in with a personal story. The story about my hike at Lava Lake mixed with my dislike of riding bicycles is an example. This is the kind of writing I like the best- two stories that have no connection told as one.

Thursday- Photography with words. I don’t know what kind of photo or what I’ll write about. They won’t necessarily intertwine with each other, more often than not they won’t. Think a photo with poetry that isn’t poetry. Huh? Exactly.

Friday- Writing about writing. Whether it be situations encountered while writing my rumor of a novel or rambling on about what name I should publish under, Friday will be writing about writing. I’ll try not to make it too meta.

Lastly, on the fifteenth of every month I’ll be posting a fictional short story, anywhere from 1500-3000 words. Planning on submitting more work this year and I could use the short story practice.

Hope to have each post up by 9am on its respective day.
