I miss blogging but due to some health issues I have not been able to type much over the last few months. Basically, I was struggling just to get through my workday. Things finally seem to be turning the corner. I realized how much I missed writing and reviewing when I missed 2 of my favorite challenges in December and January. After my “sabbatical”, this is a good time to change things up.
The Little Red Reviewer published a post on February 1 explaining why she is switching to a “reading diary” type of regular posting. I like this idea so I will be trying it. I will be posting regular updates on my reading. In addition I will put up reviews of the books I read and shows I watch. The other part of the plan is to do more opinion pieces.
The other change concerns something I have changed my mind about a few times. I am shutting down my “Comic Book Focus” blog and combining it with the “Science Fiction Times”. This harkens back to the Jim Baen “Galaxy Science Fiction” magazine. “Worlds of IF” was being cancelled so Baen combined it with the continuing “Galaxy Science Fiction”. Some of the features and style of stories was incorporated into “Galaxy Science Fiction”. In my opinion, it made for a better reading experience. Although, to be honest, I did miss “IF”.
Tabs will be added for tracking my different types of reading.
The other advantage of the reading diary is that it will show that I tend to read many things at the same time. Sometimes I get distracted by reviews I read. Other times by what my friends are reading. They start telling me about the book they are reading and I want to read it at the same time. So you will see how this affects my reading.
