I realize I just updated this blog about five seconds ago. However, I wanted to take a second to discuss a few issues about my blog. Because I've done about five of these this month, let's take a FAQ approach.
1. Why do you blog?
I enjoy it. It's an easy way for me to keep track of what's going on in my life and Charity's. Some day, I'd like to have these to look back on. (Google, please don't go belly up and take my blog with you!)
2. Are you trying to market yourself?
NO! Apparently, today, half the battle of being a successful writer is marketing yourself. When I heard that, I promptly decided success was no longer in my goals. I still like to write and I still submit and publish, but I am in no way interested in spending half my life running a campaign to get you to read what I write. Right now, I'm focusing on finishing raising Charity, doing something good for this world, finishing my M.A., getting my PhD, and beating Super Mario Sunshine.
3. Geeze, don't you proofread this thing?
Right now, I'm just trying to keep it updated. One of the benefits of hypertext is that they are constantly in the revision and editing stage even after publication. (Read a crazy awesome article on this. I can't remember who wrote it.) Eventually, I will proof everything. But for now, you get it as crappy as it is. Aren't you special. :)
4. Will you update this blog regularly.
I will try, as I said, because I want to be able to record what is going on in Charity's life.
5. Are you trying to get lots of people to read this or make money? Is this why you post links?
No. I am not currently on Adsense nor do I have a lot of readers. If I get a lot of readers, it would make sense for me to sign up for Adsense. But neither of these events are my goals.
6. Why can't I comment on your blog?
I DON'T KNOW! I'm trying to figure that out. For now, comment on Facebook.
