Hello 2016!
So I have had this up for a couple weeks now and have learned a little bit. When I first wanted to start blogging, I didn't truly have a plan in place for any specific goals. I didn't have goals. I just wanted to write and since I didn't have any other means of getting material out there for feedback, this was going to be my outlet.
So I started posting.
And it was fun! I was having fun writing and I was having fun watching the number of visitors climb in the analytics. But I wanted to work on something with a little bit more umph to it, so to speak, and felt like I was kind of obligated to continue to post something new instead of working on what I really wanted to work on.
Well it took about two days of feeling like that before I was going to quickly make a change. This blog was and is still in its infancy and if I am already feeling obligated in the first two weeks, I must have set it up poorly.
Moving forward: I changed the name to something that didn't have time constraints on it or expectations. I will still be writing daily. I just won't be posting an entirely new short daily. However, with this change will allow me to post (hopefully) longer, almost chapters when I post. Also, it will let me work on my first novel, which is the whole point to these writing exercises.
So hello 2016! I am already excited for the new year and have focused on my goals like a laser.
