I did it! Two posts per month for a full year. Granted, I wasn’t very consistent with sticking to new posts on the first and fifteenth of every month as I planned, but I’m still proud of myself for keeping up with this blog. I fully intend to continue in this streak. Should I pick it up to three posts per month? Once per week seems excessive to me, but twice per month feels a bit thin.
No matter what I decide, I probably won’t post again until after the Spiderweb Salon winter formal on the 3rd of January. There’s just going to be too much happening for the next two weeks.
I’ve mentioned in other posts that I would like to build a page of literary and spec fic magazine listings similar in nature to the one Locus offers, only more closely curated. I feel that half the links on Locus’s page are dead, and many of the magazines are defunct. I’ve already started building the page but I’m not quite ready to post it. I have a week of vacation coming up, so I’ll probably do the bulk of the work then. The page will go live some time in January, and will almost certainly be an ongoing project. If any readers would like to send me suggestions on newer or more obscure zines (or remind me of the bigger ones I’m likely to forget!) leave a comment. I’m certain there are excellent markets out there I’ve never heard of, which is part of the reason I’m taking on this project. The other part of the reason I’m doing this is because I’d like the page to be a reference for other writers who are looking for a place to house their work. Good guides are hard to come by, and the larger this list gets the more likely it is to benefit someone.
