I have doing a lot of things this week. Blogging has not been one of them, at least, my usual blogging. I enjoy doing the flash fiction duo that I handle each week: Friday Fictioneers and Five Sentence Fiction. In fact, soon, I hope to publish on Kindle a collection of 100 (or more) of my Five Sentence Fictions from the last 100 weeks (give or take). It’s in the making, but will be a bit.
I also have been tasked with writing a 2500 word horror short story that is turning into 4000 words. I am enjoying the task. It has, however, kept me from blogging as usual. That’s not all, of course, I have also been busy seeing doctors, taking my Dad to his doctors’ visits, trying to rest, and reading more blog posts than I have been in many many months.
So, I apologize to you, maybe. I say “maybe” because, even though I didn’t write my Flash Fiction items, I have been sharing even more with other bloggers. Both through my comments and people actually viewing my other posts. It seems that, though I really like writing fiction, I have a bit of flare for other writings. I knew this at one point, but it has been over-shadowed lately just because I was pushing myself in so many areas. That kinda stopped today when I realized that I have had more views this past week when I did other types of posts than when I simply write my fiction.
People seem to enjoy personalized posts in which you pour out (or tear out) your heart by voicing opinions on topics you are concerned about and when you reblog excellent posts of others. I knew this, in actuality, but had put it on the back burner, too.
I have decided that I don’t have to have a set routine for my blog. I can write 1-2 times a week at times and 4-5 others. It is up to me. As long as I stay in the loop and write weekly, I think it will be fine. Well, it will be just because I intend on doing it.
I will end by pointing you to a post I read that hit me good and hard. Language is strong, so is the topic. However, because it hit me hard, I think everyone else should look at it, too. I hadn’t thought about some of the specifics mentioned; that’s what hit me so hard.
