Plenty of my secondary blogs have met a similar fate. But I&#8217;ve been\u00a0blogging here on One Thousand and One Parsecs for the last eight years, dammit, and I&#8217;m not going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I&#8217;ve totally been neglecting this place, and that needs to change. One blog post every couple of weeks is not enough.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m wondering: what kind of stuff do you guys want to read? Discussions of story tropes? Thoughts on reading and publishing? General geekiness and just-for-fun weirdness? Politics and controversy? Or general updates on my current WIPs?\u00a0Also, do you guys generally like reading longer, more thoughtful posts, or shorter, more concise posts?<\/p>\n<p>When I started this blog back in 2007, it\u00a0was mostly just for me. That gave it a more authentic voice, I think, because I wasn&#8217;t trying to please anyone except myself. However, now that I have something of a readership, I want to write for you guys too.\u00a0Ideally, I&#8217;d like to\u00a0keep that authentic voice while sharing something of value, not only to myself, but to you guys as well.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I need to be more consistent about blogging. I&#8217;ve installed a plugin that will help to schedule posts, and plan to post something every Monday and Thursday at a minimum. I&#8217;ll\u00a0try posting mornings, see how that works out.<\/p>\n<p>Some things I&#8217;d like to blog about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reviewing some of the books I&#8217;ve read, especially indie sci-fi books.<\/li>\n<li>More Self-Sufficient Writer posts (don&#8217;t worry, I haven&#8217;t forgotten those).<\/li>\n<li>Some tvtropes stuff, kind of like the old Trope Tuesday posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you guys think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been around the blogosphere (is that still a word?) long enough to know that when a blogger says &#8220;wow, it&#8217;s been a long time since my last post,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m going to start posting more often!&#8221; it&#8217;s often a sign that the blog is about to fade.
