A Share Over Coffee

I'm sitting in one of my not so local Starbucks, enjoying some coffee, black.  Typing, anything away from home, isn't something that I really get to do too much of but it is somethng that I think that would be great.  The atmosphere is good, and so is the coffee.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about my writing and which way to go.  I have a desire to start putting things out, but honestly, I'm not sure how I want to do it.  There are several routes to take.

Submitting short stories to publications is one thing that I want to do.  I've done some of that before, but I seem to have just stopped.  Not from discouragement or anything though.  I stopped more from the side of just being busy and not wanting to take the time to jump through the hoops.  It is a poor excuse.  Really it is.

I've looked at making a new site.  I like this one okay, but the domain name is tied to another account and I would love to have it separate.  Google is less than helpful with this.  It's frustrating as, well you know, that I can't do anything with something I already own.  One day it will return I think, whenever the credit card that pays for the renewal runs out.  Hopefully soon, but not before January.

Wordpress looks like a great platform, and getting my name with a .wordpress on the end of it is probably possible.  Sitting here, sipping coffee, that idea is starting to look a little better.  If for nothing else than to experiement with it.  Blogger is easy, but it feels limiting sometimes.

The perfect thing would be a full blown Wordpress site, but alas, I do not have the funds for that.  For a minute I thought I did, but then looking further, no.  Not right now anyway.  That may be the end-goal though, so getting a .wordpress site may be the best move.

I'll take any input that anyone out there has.

Anyway, on this new site, I would like to post one short story a month, along with a semi-regular blog for a start.  Having that deadline, may just give me the kick in the butt I need.  It's a plan anyway.  More than what I have now.

Just got the call, and it's time to go eat.  This was fun, we should do it more often.  Have a great day out there!
