Cat Tales: Miscellany and Mischief

July 3

July 3 30DBC Prompt:Humor writer Dave Barry, born on this day in 1947, once said "Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance." When have you gotten up and taken a chance to dance with your writing?

I'm kind of doing that now, as I get back into blogging on my author website. I'm taking things in a new direction and being super open and real with my readers. I decided to let my inner geek out and post things not just related to my works in progress, but also book reviews, pictures from my favorite fandoms, slices of my life as I prepare for a baby, reading lists, favorite things, and even chapters of my Disney fanfiction that I'm working on.

I'm not sure how well it will go over, but it's more authentic to who I am and who I want to present myself as to my readers. My readers are young adults, teens and college students, and I'm not too far off from them in age or interests. Why not post stuff that appeals to them as well?

My audience that I'm writing to is my younger, more creative self. I'm hoping to get that part of myself back in a way as I try this new technique for blogging.

And even if no one else reads it, it's good to let my real self out there, for the simple fact that it's a true reflection of my writer's soul.
