So, uh, after more than a decade of randomly typing up nonsense in this personal, daily blog of mine, I’ve decided to start taking more of a step back. I’ve never been one to chase viewers or SEO or any of that, and honestly, that probably counted against me. I just don’t get many views, and numbers have been shrinking all years. And after several thousands of posts, I just don’t find it fun anymore. It’s work to try to post daily, even if all I’m doing is sharing a movie trailer or two.

I think I’m just going to post when I feel like it.

I don’t want to close up shop completely. I just want to break out of the rigid schedule I set for myself, where I needed to have a List of Six up every Wednesday, and then comic reviews every Saturday. As my List of Six page will tell you, I came up with mostly unique lists once a week for more than a decade! No repeats! That’s pretty darn impressive. And that archive will always exist for me and others to look back on.

And comic reviews; I really just reviewed things I enjoyed. If I wasn’t liking a comic, I’d drop it. So it was just me praising a bunch of comics I really loved. I can do that without forcing myself to write a weekly review column. I can highlight specific comics I’m enjoying, specific issues, and maybe even tpbs. I’ve got a big pile of trade paperbacks I need to read. Maybe I’ll talk about those!

Suffice to say, this isn’t goodbye. This is just me freeing myself from the rigid schedule I forced on myself for the past decade. This blog is never going to make me famous or rich, but it can remain a place for me to just write about what I want when I want. There will be more movie trailers, more Lists of Six and more reviews, just on a looser schedule.

I always told myself I didn’t want to stop writing on this blog because I knew my lazy butt wouldn’t replace it with anything, that I’d just do less things. But it’s time for me to start focusing on making my own comics. Gamer Girl & Vixen vol. 2 just had a successful Kickstarter and will come out this year. I’ve got a short story coming out soon in Scott Snyder Presents: The Cloakroom #1. And I’ve hired an artist to start working on Cover Bard #1, at long last. And I want to share all these projects with you on this blog, so I’m going to do more of that.

Thank you, everyone, for reading all this time. Feel free to pop back in from time to time to see what I post. I just want to be a little less strict on myself and focus more on my script writing. Here’s hoping that goes well!

Mostly all of this is just to say this week’s List of Six is gonna be my review of the new Fallout show, and I just haven’t finished the show yet.
