Changes and Refinements

          In case you haven’t noticed, I’ll tell you. I’ve been having a hard time thinking of things to blog about. It might be that I have made the focus of this blog a bit too narrow and the “target audience” a bit too broad. At least in my own mind. I’ve considered and discarded several topics in the past few weeks, some because they were not reading- or entertainment-related, others because I thought they might be too “faith-filled”.

          I’ve been evaluating that hesitancy and have come to a conclusion. If you read my About page, you will see that I consider myself a Christian, a wholehearted Christian who lives her life by the truths and principles taught in the Bible. I want to reach out and encourage others like that. I’m well aware that the percentage of people who think like me is small. Even smaller are those with an interest in fantasy entertainment. Many of them may never read my blog, but even so, that person is my audience, the target of my musings. All others are more than welcome, encouraged and solicited even, but my topics will be directed at those who love the Lord Jesus and desire to live lives that honor Him.

          Most likely nothing will really change except the frequency of my posts. My style of conversing, in written and verbal form, is inclusive, considerate and accepting of most everyone I meet. I don’t try to antagonize or condemn and I certainly don’t expect everyone to see life exactly the way I see and experience it. Occasionally, though, I will say or do things that do antagonize or at least discomfit those who do not share my faith. I do not apologize for that. (At least not when it is prompted by my faith. If I’ve just been plain rude, I will eventually apologize. )

          I’ll still be posting reviews most Fridays. The change there, though, will be that I will post reviews of fiction and non-fiction, not just fantasy. I’ve recently read several non-fiction books that I believe are worth sharing and I read across several genres and would like to share thoughts on those. If I find a backlog of reviews accumulating, I’ll add another day for posting them, but for now reviews or links to other review sites will be posted on Fridays.

          In addition to these minor changes for Tuesdays and Fridays, I will also be chronicling a new project, 9 by 99 in 2009. I blogged about it at Routines For Writers and will post more details here during the next few days. I’m not going to plan a blogging schedule for that project. I’ll just post as I have something to say, but at least once a week. Sometimes my Tuesday’s musings and my 9 by 99 musings will be combined, but my goal is to post something different at least three times per week.
