A New Direction

For the last three and a half years, I’ve enjoyed writing a personal blog that seemed to morph into a history blog. But for professional reasons, I need to take it in a new direction. It’s time to turn this into a writing blog.

I apologize to my relatives and traditional friends who enjoy reading my blog and aren’t writers. I will still be doing some posts about my personal writing journey, however, so you may want to check in now and then. I will also try to make an ocassional Facebook post to keep you informed about the major events in my life, and I may post some vacation pictures after the fact.

The majority of my Facebook friends are writers, however, and I hope they will like where I am going.

Although this is my first writing blog, it is not my first writing blog post. I have been—and will continue to be—a regular contributor to the Indiana Writers’ Consortium blog and to Hoosier Ink, which is sponsored by the Indiana chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers. I have also been a guest blogger for several other writing blogs. Many of those posts will show up on this blog over the next weeks and months.

As I said, some of my posts going forward will be reflections on my personal writing journey. Others will provide lessons I’ve learned about writing, and a few will cover legal issues. Beyond that, we’ll just have to see what develops.

I still intend to post once a week on Mondays. Join me on September 8 as we start this journey together.
