What I write about


For the various blogs that I read, there seems to be one common thread, regardless of topics. This commonality resides in a proper update schedule, along with various topics occurring on different days. In this post I would like to lay out my ideas for that schedule and let you know when to check back for what.

Posts will begin occurring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This gives me the weekend to write and edit everything before making an ass of myself on the internet.

The Monday post will be used to review anything I have been reading lately. Generally I read a mix of fiction and poetry collections, but this will branch out as the blog continues into non-fiction and other written works.

Wednesdays will be reserved for the ultimate goal of this blog and discuss the literary merit of alternate story-telling forms. I will most likely take on whole genres at a time (or focus on a specific aspect of a genre) and discuss how viewing it as literature allows for a richer understanding of the material and it's place in the world.

And finally, the Friday posts will provide a follow-up to Wednesday’s, by providing an example of this “Alternative Literature”, a review of it, and the ramifications of treating this piece as literature.

Before I go I would like to also mention that I encourage all of you to comment and reply with book recommendations, ideas for topics, or any news of interest for this work.

Check back on Monday for my first review!
