Going Pro

I signed up from Blogger Pro yesterday. Today my account kicked over. The options are okay. I am happy to have the spell checker back. The drafts feature is great for Super Karate Monkey Fist, since in theory, other people post to it.

Currently it is $35 a year to sign up for Blogger Pro. I think this is really worth it for me. I am not sure that I am going to use the pro features all that much. It is worth it because I really like the service at it is. I know I can use it for free, but it is worth $35 a year to me. I want to see blogger succeed. I think that using their Pro features will help. I will have to see how it goes.

Superkaratemonkeyfist.com

It feels strange, but I am just about the only person posting to Superkaratemonkey.com. I might have to rethink my whole plan for the site. For now I think I can post something every other day there. If I had the time, I could post a review just about everyday there. I think that every other day will have to work for now. I would like to see more people post there. I want to get people interested. It seems like a hard thing to do.

I am finding that it takes more time to write a review. I have to have some pretty good ideas before I start writing. It is not enough for me to pick a movie or a song and let the words flow. I need to be mapped out before I start. If I don't have a good idea before hand I seem to end up not writing.

My other frustration is my writing. I am not sure that I am always getting to the ideas in my head. I have an idea that I have something worth writing about. I am not sure that I am sharing that special thing I see. I feel that my writing is falling short in places. I do not know how to make it better.

Tired and Writing

I do a lot of my writing right before I go to bed. I try to push myself at the end of the night. I feel that I have ideas in my head and I want to get them out before I go to sleep. I am tired when I write. I know that I am not my sharpest, but I seem to have an easier time concentrating.

Last night I realized that I couldn’t write on Super Karate Monkey Fist when I was that tired. I needed to be sharper to write reviews. I need to already have an idea of what I want to write. I cannot just pick a topic and go off the top of my head. I will have to give myself more time to write things for Super Karate Monkey Fist. I have to have more of a plan. I will have to remember this going forward.

superkaratemonkeyfist.com is alive

I started this last night. The idea is that I want to make it a place for media reviews. I want it to be my place for things I think about movies and tv. I want to see what other people think about music and art. I just have to find people to go there. If you would like to be invited to post on Super Karate Monkey Fist, just send me a message.
