Manic Monday: New Blog Plans
I've felt for some time that this blog was languishing, so I might try a daily schedule like we have at Coffee and Porn in the Morning which I seem to manage very well. My only qualm is that there I can schedule, whereas here I can't. I'm starting to have the feeling I will need to leave LJ eventually, which is way sad, but I suppose it was always coming. Really, I'm only here for the userpics and the friend page, the latter of which I can keep and the former I can easily get over.
Anyway, after some thinking and chicken scratch on a legal pad, this is my idea of a schedule.
As for the official Manic Monday update, in addition to trying out this schedule, I'm going to keep on plowing through A Private Gentleman. I'm beginning to physically need this book finished, which of course means I'll likely be in Groundhog Day over it for another year. Though at the moment I think I'm finally putting the opening in place, which is always a big moment for me. Of course, I could be wrong and will be back at the beginning again later.
I'll just try not to think about that.

- Manic Monday: Mostly I can't resist the Bangles reference, but it fits. I'm never ready for Monday, and at best I'll be able to summarize what I think I'm going to do in the coming week. With possibly a side order of babbling.
- Cat Tuesday: I have these four cats, and I'm bad about updating regarding them. Since a good half this blog's regular readers are friends and family who know them, it only seems fair.
- Writing Wednesday: I'm not sure where this will go. I might give my personal writing process. I might give a snippet or highlight a character. Or I might just arg about the current state of whatever I'm working on.
- Thursday Meditation: The alliteration would go better with Monday, of course, but I already pointed out that Monday and I don't get along well. So Thursdays it is.
- Family Friday: For the same reason as the cats. Sometimes I might do old photos. Sometimes I'll give a family update. We'll see how this goes.
- Weekend Update: This way I only have to post once over the whole weekend, and I can make it pretty open. What happened that week, how well I met my goals, or even what I did over the weekend. Or just some crazy pic.
