Not A Blog™

It is with slight embarrassment, but mostly resignation, that I announce that I actually have absolutely nothing today. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: I should work ahead to avoid such calamity. But then again, there are a lot of things I should be doing. I do have backup posts, but none of them are developed, and while I have unposted short stories I could have thrown up here, I’m trying to limit the amount of reused prose that I post. I’ve done that more than enough, methinks.

With that in mind, this is the first real “having absolutely nothing” post that I’ve done since I’ve started my schedule. Not counting the month of November I took off, that’s three months of solid writing. I fart in your general direction.

That’s not to say I haven’t been writing. In fact, I was writing like crazy last night trying to get the article I was working on finished for today. I was, obviously, unsuccessful. (Probably should have started before 9:30 pm.) I’m okay with that, however, because this article deserves to not be rushed out the door. I wrote for a good hour and a half, only to realize that there was absolutely no way I could get it done before this morning. It’s over 3,000 words and only 3/4ths of the way there. I could have split it, I suppose, but it’s the sort of thing that works better as a single post.

Enough belaboring about the bush. The point is that the article on Friday is nearly done; it’s really long; and I think it’s going to be worth the wait. In fairness, I’ve been talking about writing it for some time, but now I actually am doing it.

Interestingly, what I’m doing here is some of what I’m complaining about there. Come back Friday for the Big Reveal.
