So I had a talk with someone smarter than me, which probably doesn’t narrow the list down.  This led to some enlightenment and a realization that I need to do something different next year.  It also made me realize something:

This blog was meant to be about my writing.

I do need to market myself to some extent, but not to the point where I’m leaving my entire life bare.  Maybe this is part of the social media landscape, but I hear a lot of people believing that everything should be out there.  Well, I’ve never been comfortable doing that and I shouldn’t force it.  My life is my life and this arena is supposed to be the part where I discuss writing and my books.  Not where I rant, reveal family events, and do things that really should remain here.  I think I wandered away from the true purpose and 2015 will be about changing that.  It will be a 2 step event:

1. The blog will focus on writing.  I will post weekly excerpts, character chats, my thoughts on writing, and maybe even answering questions.  I’ll be retaining the MWF posts with reblogs of sales and debuts because I don’t want to leave my fellow authors in the dust.  I will also keep the Goal posts in some form on the weekend and that may be the extent of my personal stuff.
2. I will be looking into getting an Author Site.  Not a blog, but a professional site that will be updated as progress on the books are made.  I really don’t know what I’m doing here since all I know is WordPress blogging.  This is something I’ll tackle after the New Year unless I stumble onto a fount of information.

So that’s where the blog and me are standing.  There might even be a week or two of relative silence here with only reblogging.  I don’t know.  Well, back to whatever it was I was doing before I decided to write this.
