Topic Thursday: Blogging So Far...

Let's mix things up a little. This month is heavy on election topic materials, but I don't want to keep spewing the same old, same old. It's also 1 AM, I'm tired, I have a sore throat, and my back is in no better shape. So. Why not stop for a post and talk about the blog. I know it's not a current event, but it is a topic. :)

I started this blog with the intentions of keeping myself writing. I believe it has been successful so far. I write all of my posts as far ahead of time as possible. The only ones I can't really do ahead of time are my Topic Tuesday and Thursday posts, because I want to keep the current events close to the date of post; I don't want to talk about what happened last month in this month's post.

Thus far, I have not attained many readers; however, I'm still really doing this for me. Those who do read this are pretty awesome. The only thing I really want people to read is the Final Friday post every week. Everything else is just for fun.

I like the way I have everything set up: Monthly Mondays, Topic Tuesdays, etc. I don't think the formula is broken, so I will keep it the way it is right now. I'm sure there are better ways to execute everything and, of course, Words Once Withered's blogging format, weekly line up, content--whatever--it is all subject to change. If I find a way of enhancing the reader's experience, I will jump on it. If I get feedback from readers, positive or negative, I will use it to better my posts. (Right now, though, I think there is an issue with commenting on posts, and I am working with Blogger to get that fixed ASAP.)

Look forward to tomorrow's Final Friday: The Gay Note Revisited. If you didn't get a chance to read the Original "Gay Note," I re-posted it on this week's Weekly Wednesday for featured content. In that post I talked about gay marriage, for the most part. In tomorrow's revisiting, I plan on talking about... everything else. Also, get ready for our third Monthly Monday. I haven't totally prepared it, but I said I would make the third Monday of every month personal. I will not disappoint.

If you want something news related: watch tonight's Vice Presidential Debate on foreign and domestic policy @ 9 PM EST. It comes on a million channels, including local. I bet you have at least one of them.
