Justing Reporting to Report
I had to delete an entry in my blog yesterday. It was a duplicate. An entry I had sent to Blogger.com by email over a week ago had finally made it into my blog. Since this entry didn't show up in the first 24 hours, I had put it in there manually. It's also been over two weeks since my profile statistics have changed, so I'm hoping they get that fixed soon also.
Anyway this is just sort of a test to see that email entries are working again, and to report I have made some good progress on the next "Larry' Life" entry to be entitled (tentatively) "Funny She Didn't Mention You..."
Planning to Plan
In the Planning to Plan department, I am working towards having 4 regularly updated sections available, coordinated through this blog.
Larry's DumbSwede Slashdot Journal Entries (tech editorials mostly).
Larry's Humor Pages
Larry's Writing Projects (fiction/non-fiction)
Larry's Life
A lot of "Bare Naked Larry" you will note is filled with minor details about how I'm putting BNL together. Some people will find this of interest, some won't. I had intended to have more intimate day-to-day details of my life, but when I write on these topics, it usually ends up in a multi-page story better suited for "Larry's Life" (and yes damn it, I haven't actually moved the old Slashdot Journal pages over yet).
Hopefully I will find the right balance for entries here, but please don't consider BNL my main effort, but rather the clearinghouse for my other stuff, which I hope I can entice you give a glance at. I see now that I have to reformat Larry's Humor Pages to be more bloggish, even though I do add to them semi-frequently, the same with Larry's Fiction and Nonfiction, which are just indexes of some past (mediocre) writing attempts.
One thing that blogging has given me, uneven as my current efforts may be, is a sense of voice in my writing. It finally feels like things are coming together from a writing standpoint, and I am hoping to apply these new skills (if skills they be) to some new fiction writing projects that have been in the back of my mind for years.
Enough for now, visit often, but don't leave your clothes lying around.
