I can’t count the times I’ve gone back and forth between a self-hosted WordPress site and being on WordPress.com, but it’s been a fair few. I’d like to blame my brain and its unwillingness to deal with minor obstacles while I’m on a deep dive into site building, but I won’t, even though I just spelled out the problem in detail.

This back and forth has also cost me a sum of money. Let’s not talk about that.

This last flip has been on the back burner for a while. I used to be a web developer, particularly of WP sites, and that instinct to DIY the whole thing is powerful. But it’s also deceptive, since web development (I’m obviously not much of a designer) is a skill that needs constant updating and refreshing and, well, I got all these books to write.

And since commitment to myself and my goals is a project I’m working on this year, I’m going to commit to staying here for a full six months. I give myself permission to reassess on January 1st, but not a day before.

Because I have declared it in my blog, I am now legally bound to do this.*

I’m working on Season 3 of Wound, right now. I’ll be ending the serial after Season 4, which should be around Halloween. My plan is to write the prequel novella in the winter and the release the seasons as individual novellas, revised and with added scenes. Excited for that!

What commitments are you making to yourself this second half of the year? Let’s root each other on!
