This will mean that I will be unable to participate in the quarterly short story challenges run by one of my writing groups.
Awwww, you too? Sadness. We can both work on other projects (for much the same reasons) together, then. *good thoughts*
I'd be interested in some perspectives from people who maintain a professional blog.
As you know, I cross-post most of my posts to DW and, lately, LJ. I find that DW (and to a lesser extent LJ) get more exposure for me. That's largely down to how unknown I am, which is a problem you'll have to a lesser extent, and where I started, but I think the biggest issue with it is that the blog is self-hosted and even with Jetpack installed to integrate it more with WordPress-hosted blogs it just doesn't get the same kind of exposure as it might. If you want to start a blog on it, I'd suggest talking with your site designer as well and see if there's anything else you can do on the technical side of it.
Not sure if that's helpful, but I hope so. ^-^
Sounds like your year is going to be off to a busy start! I hope it'll stay manageable! *good thoughts*
