Progress on The Quietside and Staying True to Keeping an Active Blog

The good news is that I've made a lot of progress on The Quietside recently--no words in the novel itself, but lots and lots of ideas for the overall plot. I've always known how I wanted to start and end The Quietside, but I've been unsure about the middle for quite some time, until this past week or so.

The bad news is that I've been not updating this blog at all. It's bad for me because I think it's a useful tool in staying active writing on a daily basis, but it's worse for anyone who might actually be interested in what I have to say.

Last night I thought up an idea that would help me get back into updating the blog and also keep the progress going on The Quietside. Starting either tonight or tomorrow, I'll be posting character bios on (hopefully) a daily basis. These won't be incredibly long, but they might be interesting for anyone who's been keeping up with the story.

I also plan to become more active with my other ideas, specifically The Days After and The Caretaker. Ideally, I'll work on at least one of the ideas each day. I'd also like to start posting some film reviews, because I'm an avid film fan but also because it might bring some more traffic to the site. There's always book reviews and music as well.

On a slightly related topic, I'm considering making a tumblr account for The Quietside. I think that's a slightly more active community.

Stay tuned.

PS I also just realized that I haven't updated the blog on the title change from Hard Fall to The Days After. Same story, just different title.
