Experiment and inspiration
I was inspired by Steve Pavlinas article about trying to change your life with 30 day challenges. The idea is that, if you know that you only have to do something for only 30 days then you can do it. On the other hand, if you try to say start to running five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you probably fail unless you have iron self-discipline. Most people don’t. I readily admit that I’m not a disciplined person, therefore the experiment. The goal isn’t necessarily to write about speculative fiction permanently, but rather to think about things. To write something meaningful, you generally need to think a lot. I’ve found that lately I’ve been avoiding that. Or that I’ve mulled the same thoughts over and over again. This blog offers a set way and reason to think about one specific thing.
My goal is to write about speculative fiction(fantasy, science fiction, maybe horror) books, but maybe also comics and movies, but the latter two are quite unlikely. My writing schedule is 3-5 times per week. This is simply because I don’t intend to write very short blurbs, but rather thoughtful pieces and also to keep my interest up. I’ve had a blog before and it is really hell to try to write when you really don’t have anything to say.
The layout is the basic Wordpress layout, which I most likely will tinker with somewhat. There will be some ads and such as I try to recoup some of the web hosting costs. My current host Dreamhost seems to be nice and nicely automated service. So far everything has worked out nicely. By the way, if you use promo code ILLOTUS when you get a hosting plan from Dreamhost you get $20 discount.
