I like blogging. I’m a poet and I like to post poems, and little rants about writing, and miscellaneous stuff. Just draining the swamp between my ears, you know?
Did you know I have another blog? Actually, I run several, but most are for groups I’m in. I have two writing blogs; this one and this one over yonder. So why does a guy need two blogs? Well, you don’t. I have two because I like them both for different functions. And I’m a nerd.
I’ve had the other URL – kimberlin.wordpress.com – for a long time. It has served various functions; for instance, it was a blog about cruelty to animals for a while.
Since I write fiction, I write scenes, which are just too big to post on a Blogger site. If you have to keep scrolling down forever, you can’t see the next post, which you might find more interesting. It’s a distraction, and writers have enough problems distracting their readers. So I needed another venue.
WordPress has a cool function that lets you break up long posts. You can do it at Blogger, but only with a big pain-in-the-butt html work-around. I thought about moving the whole show over there to WordPress, but I don’t want to right now. Maybe in the future. WordPress does have a nice set-up.
I also considered hosting a blog for everything at my static web site. But I don’t want to do that. Too much work. Let the pros handle the blogging site business, says I.
So I decided to start a new blog for creative work product – Scene – and keep this old Metaphor where it is. There might be essays over there too. But there won’t be any videos or comics or random observations there. Just serious writing output; nothing not created by me.
So far, I’ve copied all the stories that were posted here over to there, so that site is caught up with the program.
Listen, check it out if you want. But you don’t need to bookmark anything, unless you want to. Whenever I post a story or a piece of my novel over there, I’ll post a link to it here. Just thought I’d … you know … blog it.
