Blogging isn't easy!

I have learned a few things while trying to maintain a blog over at JupiterThree.com.

• Logging regularly is a lot of work! Don't get me wrong, I love it. But because of the serial nature of the blog, I am committed to a schedule, all be it a wide one.
• There is an art to writing book reviews, and I am not an artist. A TODO for 2009 is to learn the art.
• An ongoing fiction log really limits your re-write options! If I stay a few days ahead, I can get in at least one re-write, but I can't change direction as freely as writing a novel.

I currently have two readers. That's one more than my kid thought I would get. The fun part for me is that they seem to care what I do with the character. "Derick is going to end up with that girl right?" I've even gotten plot and technology suggestions.

Which presents a challenge-- staying true to my own vision for the characters despite what my fan wishes would happen. It would be too predictable otherwise, right? **grin** At the same time I don't want to NOT do something just becuase my fan wants it too.

These are the kind of problems I like!
