Prospects - The Journey Ahead

This is the first time in the life of the blog where I have posted something every day for a month. It's crazy considering in the 7 or so year span of it I'd have huge gaps in time of no posts at all. I didn't post anything for an entire year before.

Why have I been posting more in my blog? 

I've been trying to write more, produce more and work more towards writing as a career. Creative writing isn't simply or easy to make profitable. It takes a lot of practice, like any skill, to hone my abilities.

I've been writing a lot more poetry, attempting to write more shorts, and using this platform to flesh out ideas I hope to use in the future.

It's also an easy way to present my work to readers, people I hope will give me feedback on my work.

This blog started out as a way to vent my problems, used more in the first few years as more of an internet journal than a writing platform but recently I've decided to forgo my old uses and concetnrate more on writing.

Will I post every day in February? 

Probably not. One of the things that this month has showed me is that in the pursuit of trying to produce on such a busy schedule I'm not able to produce the quality that certain levels of time off can give me. I don't plan on taking huge amounts of time off between posts but they will be come more infrequent.

Why am I telling you this?

Well if you're reading this you're one of the handful of people I've given this link to. I value you as a reader and I value the time you take to read these pieces. I figured I should take a second to inform you of the future and say a little thank you.

My posts have been more read in the past two months than the past 7 years I've been posting. Mostly due to the fact I'm writing more prose/poetry than ever before and that's easier to give out to people and the fact that I think I've honed my skills a considerable amount in the in interim. My writing is much better to read, and having palatable writing that people enjoy is a good motivator to keep writing and to keep progressing.

I hope that over the next year I can learn more, produce more quality writing, and get closer to my readers (You) with my craft.

I love to write and I love to share my stories. I'm just glad I have a few people who enjoy them as well.

Thanks again.
