The Future of This Blog

So. As you may have seen in a previous blog post, I got a job at a publishing company. A year after finishing publishing school, after months of working in a bookstore and working for free for a magazine, I finally got myself a big-girl job.

But what does that mean for my blog?

The short answer: I don't know.

I'm going to be reading a lot for this job, but it'll be manuscripts and successive versions of them until they are ready to go. My first read will probably be over a year before they're published. I don't know how much I'll want to read for pleasure when so much of my job is reading. And will I even be able to talk about the books I'm working on? My guess is yes, but in a limited capacity until they're print-ready, and even then, probably only enough to give it hype.

Sure, I'll be learning way more about the publishing industry. But I'm going to also be writing blog posts about that for the company blog.

I want to keep up this blog, because I've really loved doing it. I've been trying to post every 6-8 days for the last few months, and it's been going really well. I'm just not sure how able I'll be to continue generating content at the same rate.

Hopefully, I'll just slow down. Maybe post something every 10-12 days. Maybe shift subjects a little (I mean, how many posts have I written about LIW? I could go back to that...) but I promise nothing.
