More Regular Updates

My Messy Moleskine by adulau

To put myself onto more of a regular schedule with writing in this blog, I've decided that I'm going to create a writing schedule for this. When I have x amount of time allotted on a day y to talk about topic z, that provides a level of focus that I haven't really had here. The thing is, there are three main topics I want to keep this blog focused on: writing, cycling, and font design. All are important to me. (I'd be very surprised if any combination thereof was interesting to anyone else, however.) At the same time, I want to keep some variety in here, so my schedule allows some flexibility.

Mondays, I will write about writing -- what I have going at the moment, musings on the craft, etc. On Tuesdays, I'll be covering cycling. That will encompass everything from product reviews to race recaps to my training. Wednesdays, I'll talk about font design -- what I'm doing, again musings on that particular craft, and so forth. Thursdays and Fridays, will be my "et cetera" days where I write about whatever interests me at the moment.

In addition, I'll have some regularly scheduled columns. On a monthly basis, I'll bring back the "Challenge Me" post, in which I let my readers assign me with a subject to write about. Every other month, I'll have a "Looking Back" post, revisiting five earlier posts -- cycling, writing, font design, and two "etc" posts -- to see where my opinions/thoughts have changed.

I'm hoping this will help keep me on a regular schedule. I've added it to my Google Calendar and it'll be synced to my iPhone, so that should keep me on-task.
