'Out Of Gas'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Do it now, P-C. I always thought I'd write books, but now I'm afraid I'm running out of time. I have some nonfiction books in mind, and I'm wondering if I could do something like put up a blog or tumbler and start posting pieces as I write them. The pieces would be write-ups of interviews and the like, which probably wouldn't end up in that exact form in the book.
I've also always wanted to write for The Smithsonian and The New York. I'd also like a pony.

Do it! *enables*
I'd also like a pony.
The pony can be your editor.
DO IT, GINGER.
And I will send you a pony!

Of course you could! And it would be awesome!
P.S. Don't let the pony use your laptop - hooves can be hell on a keyboard.
So tumblr or blog? Now I'm reading that blogs are so 2011.
Go, Tumblr! Choose Tumblr!
Or set up a blogspot (blogger? whatever) blog and direct your Tumblr to it. Two birds.
(That would work, right? I have mine set up the other way -- one of the pages of my blog leads to my Tumblr. The blogging platforms give you more editing options.)
Ginger, whichever way you choose, post here to point us to it, please.
Ginger, I will subsidize the pony, WRITE!
PC I'm so excited for you! Also, Amy is very wise.
Yes, please, Ginger, write. You have an amazing way with words and I want more of them.
And go for it, pc, just make your goals the part you have control over so you don't get discouraged. By this time next year, I will have completed x and submitted to x, etc.
The programmer in me likes to put things into boxes - so when I was nervous and pacing and unable to focus the other week, I made a fbook author page to hold writing-related news and odd things (giveaways, if I have an extra copy of something, photographs that half of my facebook timeline would not get). I think I'm doing this because I don't want to fill my friends' feeds with news they're not interested in. But now I don't know if that even makes sense. Also, fbook is a pain in the butt. Should I just pile it all in with the rest of my feed?
