No story for you today.

Nope.

This is going to be one of those posts where I write about not knowing what I’m going to write about.

Go ahead, click off.

You’re still here?

Umm, okay, suit yourself.

Where was I? Ah, yes, the “I don’t know what to talk about” phase. To be honest (like you could tell) I found writing two serial a week a bit daunting. Fun, oh hell yeah! Still a bit too much. Instead I’m think of turning the Friday post into a Free Fire Zone of sorts, where in I can talk about whatever I want, whether it is related to writing or not.

Politics? I gave up blogging about politics some years ago in part to concentrate on my writing but also because I became frustrated with the subject.  Same B.S. different B.Sers. Not to mention all those warnings about what you say and who you associate with through social media from agents/editors. But, do they want timid inoffensive wallflowers or strong voiced authors? I’ leave that question for another day.

I do need to get this off my chest before we continue: #OcuppyWallstreet – HELL YEAH!

😀

Or I could talk about another favorite topic, let say Feminism. A couple of weeks ago I met a fellow writer (and a lawyer) who described the book she was working on as “a professional woman exploration of her sexuality and role in modern society” yet recoiled at the idea of calling it a feminist book.

It might have something to do with this:

But that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Gaming, be it tabletop or computer based is another subject close to my heart. But I think I said everything there is to be said about gaming, at least everything that I haven’t said or has not being said before. And since I’m in the habit of playing bargain bin games, none of my reviews will be fresh enough to matter. Besides I know someone who does them much better:

Webcomics? Web based comics! I could talk about those but they sort of speak for themselves, you know with the illustrations and the speech bubbles. Case in point:

Sexist? Maybe…but hey BOOBS!

And she liked it so….

So for now I’ll leave this space open.

Good night folks!
