Announcement, August 2017

What did I say about Fits and Starts?

This is me starting and fitting and starting again. 

I promised I am going to make this into something.

Something consistent. 

Getting there will take some trial and error, I promise.

1) Because I swear it a bold-faced-lie turned myth that it only takes 30 days of consistently doing something for it to become a habit. I can do something daily, religiously, for months and one bad week and its dead in the water. That issue doesn't quite apply here but it goes to show it will take sometime before I really get into and keep the rhythm of writing for public consumption. 

2) I actually have been writing. I just don't know when exactly it happened. Or how, besides sometimes I do keep by habits regardless of external forces. Given the circumstances of its drafting I'm currently operating under the assumption that very little of it is of a caliber worthy of an external audience. 

3) Back in June my goal was to get to the point where I was reliable writing at least one post a week, totaling to four a month. So that by the end of August when there was some material established and a posting schedule established I could start marketing/sharing/really putting this out there on the inter-webs. Keeping such goals private obviously didn't work. So, I hereby set my future goals so such: by the end of August I will have posted 3 posts total (this one plus 2), I will post once a week in September and October, so I can re-access a full public launch in November. By November there should be at least 11 new posts total. 

I am writing though.

I am a writer. Still chipping away at Slowdown Peter, starting the pre-writing stage of a project with my BFF, and expiermenting with short-form prose.

As a writer I of course am still reading. I have finally finished A Dance With Dragons by R.R. Martin and am sad that it will be a while before I can consume the final Song of Fire and Ice installment. At least I only have to wait a week before the season finale of Game of Thrones. Currently, I am also keeping myself occupied, working on reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. 

Since I don't know what happened to July and August it might be worth mentioning for record here that in that time I also started working at an office supply store, applied to and enrolled in graduate school, and just on Monday of this week began working towards my Masters of Education. 

Exciting times.

Exciting times we are living in. Except totally in the terrifying, what on Earth is going to happen next way?
