Writing Blog Number 2 (continued)

by S🤦‍♂️

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2348964

This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC

This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. It follows on from the old one, which is now full.

An index of topics from old and new can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index"

Feel free to comment and interact. And to suggest topics!

I've seen most of these, and they drive me nuts! On the other hand, I've probably unknowingly created some of them myself.

I listened to parts of all of them. Thankfully, none of them were 28 years old. I do remember most of them. Thanks for jostling my memories.

Ooh, I just discovered Ed's Old Phone the other day. It's almost pure autobiography, and so relatable. M&S Caroline, on the other hand...

might make a good story, but I don't understand the formula they're trying to follow with Rushmere. It seems like Yukon bar music from the 1800s gold rush. Is that the idea?

Wait, JACE, we can SAVE blog entries?!? I've been wanting to do that! Or do you just mean you copied the entry's code and put it in your Notepad or something?

Amethyst Agape Angel ♡ - It is a standard part of Shunn formatting, which is why they don't include it in their requirements.

Indenting the start of a paragraph is something I think only one publisher I have ever submitted to did not want. It is industry standard. I use it here at WdC with the {indent} command at the start of each paragraph.

I've been writing short stories for a number of years and have not sought to publish them. Recently, I've been re-thinking that. Thanks for posting this letter; it was very interesting. I've saved your entry.

External Writerings January 2026

Yes, sorry, it is that time again for me to please ask very nicely for you to read my alleged work in the external columns! All of them are 2025 look backs. No, no movie ones (I saw 3 2025 movies and two were absolute rubbish) and no books (I read 1 new release book; all the rest were older). Music and wrestling.

An in memoriam column for those musos we lost in the second half of 2025.

My now standard new-release albums, this time from quarter 4.

My favourite songs released in 2025.

My favourite cover songs released in 2025.

For Australia Day, a classic Aussie album reviewed.

6 columns for you to enjoy.
Remember, every click from a new IP without an ad-blocker gets me a small amount of money, but it all adds up.

Thanks in advance.
