I'm wondering if I could do something like put up a blog or tumbler and start posting pieces as I write them.
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.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

So tumblr or blog? Now I'm reading that blogs are so 2011.

Because books.
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.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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?

I did the same thing, and I have no clue. I hated having to switch over all the time, and then I felt weird asking people to "like" a second page. And Facebook really irritates me, so I almost never post to either page anymore.

Yeah, I was thinking I should have written, let's say, five short stories. Which I think was a goal I made up the last time I pretended to get serious about writing and then it never happened, but I was only accountable to me then.

Five short stories is a good first goal. Looking forward to reading them.
Dear JZ, what happens next? Signed, waiting to find out.
