New Blog Schedule!

After much thought and care, I can announce the new schedule for T.A.A. starting next week-

Each day will a special feature unique to that day, as well as posts dealing with a particular aspect of books and writing. This will keep my eclectic interests in check, and still have some sense of order, but in a more flexible way.

Monday

Musical Musings

I review music, profile new artists (at least new to me), and share my passions and frustrations of what's become my second art form/passion. 

Tuesday

Take A Chance Tuesday

A weekly writing challenge to get out of our comfort zone and unleash our inner-Avant Garde vigilante.

Wednesday

Random Wednesday

Thoughts and musings of anything intriguing in my world.

The World Building Wars

An ongoing series about ways to take some of the "Crazy!!" out of crafting our fantasy worlds.

Thursday

Get Versed! Thursday

If you're ready to take the pain out of poetry, whether you read it, write it, or both, stop by and learn along with me.

Friday

Face Your Fear Friday

Writers don't just need to "Write outside the comfort zone" but also must "Read" outside it, too. Every week a new prompt will get you, and me, to embrace worlds and ideas we may NEVER want to live, but are fun to read!

I know many writers who thankfully don't have this problem, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who goes through this, and I invite those of you like me in this regard to take the leap of faith along with me, we need to show writers who deal with this they are not alone, even if we are not the majority. 

T.A.A. Top 5

A weekly list of anything and everything I love, and why, in as short a way as I can say it. (That in and of itself is a fear worth facing)

Saturday (Check Back Tomorrow!)

Sunday

Shout-Out Sundays 

Every week I'll highlight any blog, book, writer or publishing tips that I want to spotlight.

The T.A.A. Sunday Gazette 

(Info to come 3/3/2012)

More tomorrow,

Blog Changes

Today I have both good news and bad news.

Let's get the bad news out of the way, T.A.A. will be sparse on updates for the rest of the month. Don't worry, I'm not going dark again, but things are picking up slowly on the non-blog writing front, and I don't want to jinx it.

Also, I'm reworking how I update on the blog so daily posts will be shorter, and longer content will be features, so no matter how much or little time you have, they'll be something worth reading around here, and as early followers of T.A.A. know, brevity's not my best thing at the best of times, but it's important to me I get better at this, and for those of you time-starved folks out there, I take you seriously, maybe to a fault sometimes, but I do, and I think T.A.A. will be grow and be better for it.

The good news, is that I've got my first interview for you, as part of a new feature on T.A.A. that I call, "Critter Chat."

Stand by for the next post,

New Poll, Future Headlines Convey the Future Again, But No Regular Post Until Tomorrow

Evening All,

I'm still getting back to my intended routine, and spent much of the day editing my new WIP and sharpening my query writing skills, which have been beyond dull for far too long. So I wasn't able to get a craft post out today, sorry about that. But there are some other big updates I've put off no longer!

I FINALLY updated the Future Headlines section, so check it out to see what's coming up in the coming days.

Also, I at last came up with a new poll, which I plan to do on a weekly basis from now on, so please cast you votes before March 15th, at 7:00 AM sharp.

Here are the final results of January's Poll-

WHICH OF THESE ANIMALS DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD?

1st: Crow 42%

2nd: Weasel - 28% (My pick)

3rd: Fox - 14%

Tied at 4th with 0 Votes
Cheetah

Crocodile

Rat

Wolf

There were no polls in February due to bad burnout, but there will be a new poll every week now.
I'll have a regular post tomorrow, promise.

Until then,
May the fantastic fauna be with you.
