State of the Blog: Week Three: Don't It Feel Good??

I think I finally got rid of all those godforsaken linkbuck links. I experimented with them, but ultimately, the redirected links came to really bug the shit out of me. Plus, so no not worth the supposed earnings: a whopping almost-20 cents so far! 

I think my budget can handle that shortfall. 

I also like the smaller, regular sized type I've been using lately, instead of the larger fonts I originally started with. 

Finally, I configured my blog posts to automatically link to my Google+, Facebook, and Twitter sites. There is value to doing each manually, since each has a unique discourse convention. But I just don't have the the time (and, honestly, I don't care enough...for now). 

My readership and pages views seems to have decreased pretty drastically. But I decided I don't care much. 

I dropped my boys off with their mother today, as I usually do on the weekend. But I am not as down about it today. This looks to be the last time I will do so for an entire week! My wife and I agreed on a what I believe to be a MUCH better custody arrangement, so now I will spend at least four days with them every week. Very excited about this, as I mentioned yesterday. But it will affect my writing output.

My posts when I have them will most likely be super short. 

As I also mentioned before, I am hoping these blogs become increasingly shorter, as I devote more time to creative writing...and my incomplete master's thesis (blech). 

For now, I'm just content to be writing everyday again. Starting to feel like I am becoming myself again. Kind of a weird statement, if you think about it. But it feels true enough. 

Somehow, Jack Black dancing to Walking on Sunshine popped into my head.
