I opened this blog about two months ago. I’d just committed to a new, non-blog writing project, and thought switching to a related blog topic would hit two birds with one stone. I’d become familiar with my larger project while still producing valuable articles.
My goal is to present a thoughtful and unique perspective. I want my posts to have depth, and I’m still learning to go deep with few words. Two weeks per post was the fastest I found I could write on my former blog, and the slowest I would tolerate. Fortunately, I could research quickly to keep up with the need for content.
I wasn’t prepared for the research this blog on story would require. Not only does it take time to choose the next story I want to cover; I look over each story multiple times so my opinions will be accurate and well thought-out. The stories I’ve covered so far have been short: a novella, a 1,730-word short story, or a movie. I’d like to cover longer subjects too: novels, TV series, videogames, news, etc. Researching these broader subjects requires time I don’t have.
I need to dedicate my time to my highest priority, the project that inspired me to begin this blog. This means I’ll be posting to Worlds Viewed as I find time, instead of every two weeks as I’ve been doing. I hope you’ve enjoyed the blog so far and continue to enjoy my writing in the future.
