This blog has had an identity crisis. I've tried several approaches and I thought I had settled on making it a professional product where I could share some of my fiction writing and opinions. I thought I would share some of my writing goals, trials and triumphs.
Other things kept creeping in.
I realize now, I have about 5 loyal readers, but they are all family and friends. Why do I have only 5. I think it is because of all that creep, the identity crisis.
This is really no place for my personal goals. Those 5 people care, but no one else. This is no place to whine, or talk about family; not if I want even only 5 other readers.
In June and July of 2014 I rededicated this blog to writing, changed the background and pledged to make it more professional and writing oriented.
Then I went astray.
In December 2014 I promised my goals and I never delivered them. I talked about my Greek goals, but the only people who care about those are those 5 readers I have and other people who study second or more languages. Those language people have their own forums and since I'm not providing any insight on how to do it (possibly how not to do it) then they don't need this blog. I can go to those sites dedicated to language learning if I want to share.
This blog is for writing, my fiction and non-fiction. The only goals this blog should cover are any writing goals I have. I don't particularly have any this year. I've got so much other stuff on my plate that I didn't and couldn't make any writing goals.
That's okay for here. I don't need writing goals, at least not now. What I do need is to write. That's what you are going to get. In December I said it might be messy, and it certainly will be. What it won't be is personal, non-writing related goals or issues.
