I’m going to be brutally honest here. I don’t particularly like blogging. Actually, I like the theory of it. In fact, I love the fact that it gives a
voice to everyone to say what they believe; and I don’t buy the idea that it
merely creates rumors while “legitimate” newspapers and magazines tell the
truth. They are owned and controlled by
corporate backers who tell them what to say, so they’re as much rumor mongering
as any blog. A reader merely has to
judge how much integrity a given source has.
For me, though, I’m so busy creating books and games that
I don’t have time for a blog. And you’re
expected to write something at least once a week to get noticed. However, I’ve been told, and have noticed
this to be true, that people tend to not notice you unless you have a blog.
And so I write.
And now, in my usual fashion of over-doing it, I’ve created multiple
blogs. I’m a person who’s torn in many
directions, and I create projects for every interest. It’s spread me a bit thin, and perhaps I
should drop some, but every time I think of it, it’s like Sophie’s Choice. Which of my children could I really let go?
And so I keep them, and I have a blog for every one of
them. All but one of them, the Dice
Depot, are mine. I do the Dice Depot for
Ric Wickham, who has a fantastic game site.
Here they are listed:
Bandwagon Books
Jeff McArthur
Relic Worlds
Tales of a Failed Filmmaker
I also have Facebook groups for these, and my projects
Command Combat Battle Reports and Geo-Hunters, plus, of course, Twitter
accounts. Accchhh!!!
