November Monthly Post

[ysabetwordsmith]

What are your planned projects for blogging in November? What did you accomplish on Dreamwidth during October?

It has been one month since Cohost went read-only on October 1. There are still two months left until Cohost vanishes completely at the end of 2024. So you have that much time to finish archiving your content or transferring it from Cohost to other venues, if you wish to do so. Are you finished reposting? Several folks have, and that post gives you a place to announce it when you do.

Finished one major blog post about horror movies, now working on another. Also about 4k words into another short story, although I have no clue if I'll be done with either by the end of this month. Fiction comes incredibly slowly to me, and my film theory skills have rusted greatly since my college years.

That's okay. Work at your own pace; good practice makes good progress.

Analysis isn't a hard skill to refresh. There are plenty of materials online for free, and just doing the work should bring it back pretty quick. It's your blog, nobody's going to fuss at you if it's not perfect right away.
