Permit me to muse. I’m just going to think out loud about what I’m going to do with this blog (and maybe that blog, too). And what I won’t do…maybe. Probably.
1
Remember that list of short stories I read every week? It does get a little tedious, since I read so many of them anymore. Maybe I’ll just stick to doing Quick Reviews like I did on Raketenwerfer (which is on hiatus). Because there is, as others have noted after Stephen King’s fueling of the rumors of the death of the short story, a need for stories to be talked about on teh intarweb.

I put reference material on here. I also put reference material on my del.icio.us account. It feels like I’m violating a basic GTD/lifehacking principle if I don’t have a clear reason for maintaining both.
(To say nothing of the archive I keep on Google Bookmarks–although those are in holding and do get processed once in a blue moon.)

I used to keep a bi-weekly Tough Love log of how my latest pieces fared at the crit group I’m part of. Again, a little too tedious anymore. For one, the story I gave them last week was my first in about three meetings, and was a story that I wrote about six months ago. I felt guilty not having brought anything, even though I’ve been on a heavy editing spree lately. Maybe I should just junk it? The posts, not the group. No, the group is still far too valuable to me…
…which brings me to a tangent, which should really be the subject of another entry.
(Note to self: write this entry.)

I’ve been collecting (in two paper journals and one electronic one) my thoughts about the writing process that’s forming the basis of my own process. Do I put them all together and throw them on here?
5
I’ve been collecting (in the same scattered fashioned) others’ thoughts on the same subject. Consolidate them on here?
What to do, what to do…?
