A Goatboy Monday Monday Monday!

I made the deliberate decision to take a break from Strictly Average this weekend, partly because the Nova has turned Ye Ol' Blogosphere into a desert, partly from fatigue due to a busy week registering for grad school... and a big partly from general discouragement over the NotBrentus and NotBrandt fiasco.

CliffNotes: Brent talks about writing and shows off a Brent and Goatboy Team Tournament video!

I think that's probably a dead issue now, and even though it bothered me no end last week... that was last week!  I'm an eternal optimist I am.  I woke up today with a million things I wanted to talk about!  Still, a picture is worth a thousand words: what's an incriminating video worth?

Currently, I've got Strictly Average plus an article a week on Blood of Kittens and Bell of Lost Souls... tha'ts a lot, but I'm enjoying every minute of it!  I started blogging primarily to teach myself writing discipline, so after a year I'm finally flexing my mind-muscles.



Also I finally made the Tuesday Top 10!  I didn't expect to make it for what I made it for; who knew? :)


Regarding my 'one article per week deadline' - for the record, that's my self-imposed schedule.  My biggest knock on YTTH is all the authors who never author.  Stelek gave them a chance and I think they're letting him down (some more than others, obviously).  When Tasty asked if I wanted exposure on BoK I treated it seriously.  My feeling is if Tasty is giving me time on his baby I've got to treat that like I would my own, and for the record not a week has gone by when I've missed an article.

I was a bit late with Part IV of On Blogging, but it might have been better for Kirby if I was really late - as in, next week!  The Nova has seriously thrown the brakes on the Internet this weekend, so the timing of the article was sucko.  Plus, I followed a tidal wave of an article by Tasty which featured a picture of Stelek shooting the camera the bird... and don't think that post didn't explode!  Still, I watched Kirby pick up a few minions so it wasn't a total loss; I was hoping for more for him, thought.  3++ is the New Black is the hardest working blog going right now and deserves all the credit in the world.
