So, I must admit, I'm not that masterful when it comes to blogging. For years, I've read really well thought out and meticulously organized blogs, like literary agent Nathan Bransford's blog, or blogs from other authors. It seems they always have something worthwhile to post about writing. That was sort of what I was aiming for when I began this blog (if you look at a few of my earlier posts that might be evident) but now I've come to face that my blog may not be exactly like that. However, I think that's okay--there's no mandatory format or formula for a blog, and my blog probably won't even have one.
Keeping up this blog is going to be a bit of challenge for me, or at least it will be until I hopefully grow accustomed to blogging consistently. That's why I'm not going to put too much pressure on my posts for now--by which I mean that every post isn't going to be some insightful thing I realized about writing or whatever whatever. I'm going to try for a wide variety of things--posts about writing, posts about how Part 2 of Euphoria is going, book reviews, and other random things. I just feel like I'm a little crunched between the pressures of real life--like credit card payments, working, saving for vacations I'm taking this summer, and trying to upkeep my social life and have a little fun with my friends--often dominate my writing interests, and when I do actually have time to come to the coffee shop and get down to writing business, I'd rather be writing the entire time instead of focusing so much effort on upkeeping a blog.
However, a blog is a necessity these days, and I am happy to have one. I simply wanted to let anyone who may be reading not to put too much pressure on my posts, because they'll likely be sporadic and encompass other topics than just writing.
In other news, I am happy to announce that Euphoria Part 1 received two four star reviews this past week from Krystal and Eva, whose blogs can be found below with the review:
Krystal's Blog and Review of Euphoria
Eva's Blog and Review of Euphoria
Anyway, I'm afraid that's it for today. I think I'll be back soon with a book review or two, since I've been catching up on some reading. Until next time!
