I am at a crossroads for the blog, as it is. I don't see myself maintaining a regular schedule of article-like posts as I have done. I don't have the inspiration for it, and quite frankly, it's not exactly setting the internet on fire with its popularity. I have been debating changing format some, and have already taken the step of arranging the posts somewhat with tags that you can see along the top of the page. I did this in anticipation that I may start adding different kinds of content to the blog. Like my Lovecraft Country comics, I thought it might do me some good to start putting some fiction on here. Give people something to read that has a plot and characters and is more interesting than my boring old observations on gaming and whining about what I don't like in movies anymore.
Of course, as a writer, this opens up a much larger dilemma. Were I to do this, I would be providing free content for the world. As an artist, I've no problem with this. On the other hand, there's the part of me that would like to someday make some money off my writing. So is giving it away a good idea? Would it serve as a free sample for the admittedly small audience I have here, or merely be another example of my continuing hubris in thinking that anybody cares what I have to say? Should I just admit that the dozen-or-so people who bought Reign of Rezal are the same dozen-or-so people who actually read this blog, and therefore I'd just be advertising to the choir (to mix a metaphor)? Or should I continue to hold out hope that somehow, magically, I might have a readership that breaks out from my immediate circle of friends to the internet masses beyond?
