Small Update, New Article on Hubpages and The Future Of This Blog.

Wow, it really has been awhile. I really don't have an excuse, I just suck at keeping up with this blog.  But anyway, what have I been up too? Well, here are some highlights.

I quit making YouTube Videos. I couldn't find an audience, and the advice I was getting to grow my channel was stuff I couldn't financially afford, or I simply was uncomfortable doing. Beyond that, making videos...just stopped being fun.

Finally started working on a proper second draft of my Novel. I don't know when it will be ready. But the way I look at it, any progress is good, and it means I'm one step closer to getting it published.


More recently, I published a nine-part essay on HubPages about the history of the online harassment movement known as  #comicsgate. I'd intended it to be much shorter, maybe two or three pages at most. But when I started to research the topic and saw the level of bat shit crazy I'd be dealing with, It dawned on me that short and sweet would not do. No, I would need to be as detailed, and as well-sourced as possible if I was going to come near what I wanted to do. And even then, it got away from me. If you'd like to read it, here are the links:

If you all read it, I hope you enjoy it.

As for the future of this Blog?... I don't know. The truth is,  I've been waffling back and forth lately about shutting this blog down and starting fresh over on Wordpress, or Tumbler or somewhere that has more traffic. But I'm afraid that, if I do that, I'll run into the same problems I've always had with any of my content, and I'm really reluctant to put myself through the wringer again. So, If I ever make a decision about this, I'll post it here.

In the meantime, if you actually want to keep up with me and my work, the best places to do so would be here:

Anyway, I have to go. Thank you for reading this. Later.
