Its been a bumpy ride.

I've written a series of posts and put them all in the scheduler. It turns out I haven't quite gotten the hang of the scheduler, because here it is, nearly June, and none of them have been published. This makes me quite disappointed considering, not only the hard work I've put into them, but how important it is to be consistent in this endeavor that is starting to feel a bit crazy. One day I'm going to want to be found in Google. I'm going to have to do better than techno thumbs if I'm going to build the following I'd like to have.

I've come up with a huge story back inventory, but I need to get where I feel I'm ready to truly write these (books mostly) and that can't happen if I can't look at every month and see how I'm progressing!

So here is how I'm going to fix my little snafu. Every time I get on to write a new post (and yes, I will still be trying to master the complexities of the scheduler!) I will click publish on one of those mysterious back posts that should have been put into place. I won't publish a whole lot of new material, but will write it and save it for the future (to be seen once I learn how to dominate the scheduler, it shall auto publish on a nice regular schedule).

I will have to go back and re-think some of my posts around the time of the Boston Marathon. I've got a story of an aging hippy who imagines what would have happened had the Boston bomber just gotten some the right kind of spiritual lovin'. Looking back...I'm not sure if I'm going to click publish on that. Some stories are just meant to die alone in the dark.
