Time for Another Blog


I've been thinking that it's time for another blog. Not a different blog than the one I already have here on Blogger, "Writing On Time." But an extra one.

I have a tendency to start blogs and then let them fizzle out. I did just that with my previous blogs, "Write to the Finish Line" in 2007 (just 27 posts over 8 months); "Write to the End" in 2008 (just 4 posts in 3 months); and "Write-Rite-Right About Time in 2009 - 2010 (just 17 posts during 16 months).

 I also kept a (sporadic) blog when my MySpace page was active - but from Jan. '08 - Sept. '09, I only wrote 13 posts, mostly about my current obsessions in music (Jason Castro) and TV (Supernatural). I also re-posted Jason Castro performance clips and Supernatural promo videos.

And I've written a handful of blog posts on my Facebook "Notes" - but I've found, with Facebook's format, it isn't easy to post lengthy writings (and most of my posts tend to be lengthy!)

I think I'm doing better in keeping up my "Writing On Time" blog - since I started it at the end of 2010, I've written 23 posts. But that blog is very specific - it focuses on the subjects of writing, time and the subjects of time and time-travel that have influenced several of my writing projects.

I've missed writing about my other interests, though. I have a Tumblr, and a Pinterest page - both are called "Lin's Fascinations," too. I've posted videos, photos and article links, along with brief comments on Tumblr, and I've started several Pinterest boards for my various interests. But I miss writing essays about all the things that interest and inspire me.

So that's the purpose for this blog - to write about (as I've described on Tumblr and Pinterest) all the things that fascinate me - books, music, film, TV, theater, current events, and life in general. 

I plan to keep up both this blog and my "Writing On Time" blog simultaneously. I think it's good to give myself more opportunities for writing, and I hope this venture works out well. 

So here's to more writing expression and productivity!
