#100Days writing challenge

Welp, I've decided to take the #100Days writing challenge. I learned about it through the folks behind Standard Notes and their offspring Listed. You can learn more about their pitch here. And more about Standard Notes here. And no, this isn't a commercial. They do have a cool note-taking app. And I'm always looking for a cool way to write down stuff.

So, basically, for 100 days I'll be writing down something. Anything. I'll try to post as much as I can to the blog. To help with having something to write, I think I'm gonna take up lyrics and poetry again, I've been neglecting that arena for a long time. Though I consider myself more a lyricist than a poet any day.

So sit back and prepare for the flood gates to open.

And I challenge you to as well, give it a shot when you can. Or better yet, go in on it with me and we can encourage each other to stay devoted.

Tomorrow is Day 1 for me. Wish me luck.

When your working on one story, but want to work on another

As you may know, we've been busting away at Night Aggressions, both writing/editing and publishing at the Emerald Dragon blog each Friday. And since that's my current WIP, as they say, it's a real shame that a story idea I'd had a while back crept back into my head and won't go away.

"WRITE ME! WRITE ME!" She demands.

You ever have that happen during your writing? Annoying isn't it? Sometimes I'll write like a single scene or a couple of scenes/chapters just to appease. Or maybe just jot down as many notes as I can for later. Lately I've been pretty good about ignoring the urge to write something out of turn, but man oh man... that urge is so strong today.

Probably too late to start tonight, but I'll probably cram out a wee scene or chapter in the coming days. I may just post it here, to tease, and see what ya'll think.

So seriously though, you ever struggle with dueling ideas? How do you battle it? Do you have a will of stone? Are you …

Hello Blogger, my old friend

So, this was a pretty last minute decision, not gonna lie. My due date for the subscription of WordPress.com's domain mapping was due tomorrow. And last night, I just decided on a whim that I was cancelling it and moving my domain elsewhere. It wasn't so much that WordPress.com has been an awful experience, I've been using it for many years now, but I just got kinda tired of the lack of control and customization. That's part of it. Like, I'm stuck with WordPress comments, I can't switch it to something else like Disqus for example. There were also numerous limitations when it came to embedding content. Only their preferred methods were allowed. If the brand you wanted to use wasn't shown love by WordPress.com, you couldn't use it.

The list could go on and on, really, but even then, I still liked it. The Reader for example was fantastic for following blogs and discovering new content.

All in all, it was a pretty last minute decision. I was just tired. F…
