Blogging 101 – Day Three

Randall Krzak

Another excellent assignment.  I had already played around with the Reader and now I’m following 15 blogs. Most are fellow blogging 101 members but several are external, picked up through my six new tags.

While I’ll try to read every day, I’ll need to be disciplined so I can still focus on my own writing.

Since I only started setting up my blog on December 28th, 2015, I’ve very pleased with the response and I’m learning a lot with this course.

On a totally unrelated topic, we’re supposed to warm up today–high of 33F or 1C.  Given the past couple of days where the high was 27F or -2C, this will feel warm as we have a bright, sunny sky to start the day.  It’ll probably start melting the 4 inches of snow we had over the weekend but that’s okay, too.

Hope everyone is having a positive experience with Blogging 101:)

Blogging 101 – Day Two

Randall Krzak

For now I’m satisfied with using my name for my blog title.  Since the primary purpose of my blog will be to advertise my writing, I think it will work okay.

The tagline is accurate – I am a writer, and one day will achieve being a novelist and hopefully and author.

Merriam-Webster defines a novelist as someone who writes novels.

While I have ideas for at least five at this time, I’m only working on one at present, The Kurdish Connection (there’s a tab at the top of the page that provides some information about this). As of today, I’ve completed 36 chapters, anticipating that I’ll have around 58 when finished.  This might seem like a lot, the average length of a chapter is less than 2,000 words, so overall, I should be in the 110,000 word range.

An author is someone who is published.  That’s my ultimate goal
