Bloggishness

by Hyperiongate

Rated: 13+ · Book · Experience · #1436307

This blog keeps me in touch with WDC. Jamesdillingham.com keeps me in touch elsewhere.

I like to stay in touch with WDC, even when I'm not contributing on a daily basis. My main blog is at jamesdillingham.blogspot.com

In response to "The WDC group..."

It sounds a bit odd that there wouldn't even be a break at the end for chitchat but whatever works for the group, I suppose. Even though I am in a house full of adults, they find a million reasons to peek into my office and interrupt. If I close the door, they all open it to see what I'm doing and let the herd of cats in. Cats hate closed doors. It's not that they want to be in the room, they just want to be sure you're not stuck in there or something. Having a quiet place to focus and write sounds wonderful.

In response to "Way Past Due"

Every writing group is different. If this is what helps you, so be it.

I have a travel-writing workshop end of May. I'll have been on the road three months by then.

Give yourself permission to stop everything and write for an hour. The world won't stop turning.

In response to "Life can sometimes get in the way"

How much are beans nowdays?

My spouse loves to read the Farmers Almanac and quote things to me. Just to be clear, we don't have a farm, or much of a yard, but he's a farmer in his soul. He also traveled a lot for work for many years and just switched away from traveling so much. He said he was tired of waking up in a generic hotel room and not remembering where he was. Or what color rental car he had this week. It's a little less on the payroll side but he's happier coming home for dinner and hogging the remote for his own tv.

In response to "Fini"

Is this the same sci-fi novel I was reviewing a while back? Congratulations! It's not easy to finish writing a whole book. Now the hard work begins: revising.

It seems like you just started this book! I can't wait to hear about your trials and tribulations with the publisher....

Sorry I missed your anniversary, I was out of town. Congratulations!

In response to "100k and going strong"

A limit can be good so you don't get burned out and have time to think ahead. I wouldn't worry so much about capping the word count, because you'll lose some in the edit process. Just keep writing!

Artifact Man

My boo, Artifact Man is actually written in two parts; cleverly called Part One and Part Two. Part One will have a prologue and 26 chapters. All I have left is the 26th chapter. Part Two will be about the same size. I just finished the first chapter for Part Two but I can't post it until I write the last chapter for Part One. Otherwise, I'll spoil the surprise ending of Part One.

Maybe I'll write the 26th chapter Monday - free day off.

Work is picking up. Next week, I'm in North Caroline, Georgia and Kentucky.

I miss my daily flash fiction challenge. I have no idea what I'll do if Kim starts up another 15 in 15.

Time to write

After a month of vacation, it's time to get back to my book.

I have been keeping up my blogging (jamesdillingham.com) but that's been about it.

My initial goal with blogs was to increase my web presence. Now, I have over a dozen blogs. I quit tracking readership but its probably around a couple of hundred a day. Now that I have readers, I will use my blog to advertise my book. Based on my budget for editing, self-publishing and such, I'll probably need to sell a couple hundred to brake even.

Now all I have to do is complete my best-seller.

No problem.

Right?

Not off the edge

Okay, so I have been gone a lot lately. I just thought I'd drop a note to let anyone that cares know that I have not fallen off the edge of the world.

1.5 weeks off road in Nevada with my jeep.
1.5 weeks in Kauai on vacation
and now, 1 week in San Diego to golf.

I need to get back to work soon. I need the rest.

My reminder...reminds

I have my blog reminder set for a week. If I don't post something during the week, I get a reminder...daily.

So here is my update.

I'm writing a very exciting chapter to my book Artifact Man. I hope to finish it today. This will essentially complete Part One of my 2-part story.

I'm really having fun with my blog (http://jamesdillingham.com). It is starting to get quite a few reads (70 by 8am this morning). We all know how much we love being read. Over the last 3+ years, my stories on WDC have been read about 30 times per day. My single blog gets much more than that and is read in over 60 countries.

Still, I can't neglect my book so off I go.

Cheers,

jim

Roadie

Still traveling. In the last month, I have been in Hungary, Kansas City and Las Vegas. In the next month I will be in Anaheim, Kansas City, Hawaii and I'll spend a week on a jeep trip through Nevada.

The only writing I have been doing is blogging.

Busy

I'm back in the states. I got back from Budapest on Monday; stayed home for 8 hours and then went back tot he airport.

I'm in Kansas City now. However, after tomorrow, I'll be home for a couple of weeks.

I have three people so far willing to be part-bloggers for my blog at http://jamesdillingham.com. If you are interested, let me know. Read the blog and see if you have something of your own to say that may fit.

Looking for guest bloggers

I have been working on my blog (not this one) and it gets about 100 reads a day. I've just reworked the website and am trying to publish on it daily so people come to expect it. However, on the weekend, and travel days, I'm often not able to do so. If anyone out there would like to write an occasional post, let me know.

You don't have to write like me, but to get a flavor, go to the blog http://jamesdillingham.com

blogging in abundance

I am still working on my book and still blogging.

I can't believe how much fun I am having with my blogs. They are now being read about 150 times a day. I also just started blogging for my local online newspaper.

So I'm writing and I think that is the point. My daily blogs are about 1,500 words and my book is about 1,000 words - although these numbers vary wildly.

Surprisingly, my blog Cooking For the Single Man is really starting to take off. I'm not sure why since I am a terrible cook.
