Trying something new

I’m going to try something new and post to this blog every day for a while. I’ve heard that blogs do best if they have daily content, and while I personally find it difficult to keep up with those blogs (unless, like The Passive Voice, they’re more like a subject-specific newspaper), I’m willing to give it a shot.

I gave up social media about a year ago… or was it two? I still post stuff to Twitter occasionally, but only to procrastinate or waste time. For a variety of reasons, it’s not a platform I take very seriously.

But blogging, I actually enjoy. Mostly, I just like reading other people’s blogs, but I have been posting to this one for… what, ten years now? At times, it’s been more sporadic than others, but it’s something that’s definitely stuck. I’ll probably keep blogging for the rest of my life.

In any case, I’ll try this out for the next month or so, just to see how it works out. If you have any ideas or suggestions, or you’re a longtime follower who just wants to say hi, feel free!

  1. Hi Joe,

    Long time follower here. I’d appreciate more frequent posts, particularly about your day-to-day writing process. For some reason, I’m fascinated by the processes of other writers. Even things like work spaces, mind sets, research habits, etc.

    I really should give up social media at some point. It truly is a massive time sink.

    1. That surprises me. I guess I’m so close to my own writing process that I worry that talking about it would be as boring for my readers as it would be for me. But if that’s what you’re interested in, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. Thanks!
