After much deliberation the decision has become final! It all started with the blog on my MySpace/Thlingit site, which talked about my books, it was a yearly event (3 blogs resulting). Then the decision to make it more frequent. Well, there was also a burning desire to just be able to just work out in writing the daily trials as a writer. This was in conflict with my MySpace page which totally focused on my publications.
There was also the need to reach more readers. I had searched various blog sites, and liked the the Blogger/Blogspot site, which a person could click on "next blog" and discover new blogs. Also, it had the prestige of being a "Blog Site" that pulled me in.
Now I had 2 blog spaces. One direction was to cut off the MySpace blog, and focus on the Journey of a Writer on blogger; to which I put my 2 new blogs on my new blogger site. Then I started getting people reading the MySpace/Thlingit blog. There was an idea to put the up an coming blogs on both sites, but that would be too much trouble, especially if pictures were involved.
The decision: to write blogs that pertain to subjects that I've published on my myspace/thlingit.com site; and to have ramblings of being a writer (like this one) on my Journey of a Writer blogger site. But, references to each of the blogs will be on both sites. For instance the www.myspace/thlingit.com will have a reference about this blog, on it's blog list. But, my next blot "They're Cutting down the Totem Poles!!!" will by on my MySpace site, and a reference here on the "Journey of a Writer" blogger site will be made to go to the MySpace site.
I think it will work. Just trying to have the best of both worlds I guess.
Until Next Time,
