Playing catch up

Posted in Miscellaneous by

So I have, unfortunately, fallen a bit behind with my blogging! I’ve got a few book reviews I need to write, other books to read, and a pile of other things I need to write (like my articles about the zombie apocalypse survival workshop I took).

I wasn’t feeling that great last weekend, so my plans to catch up fell by the wayside, as plans often do. (I may or may not have had too much wine Saturday night and may or may not have spent all day Sunday wondering when snow got so loud. I’ll never tell.) So now I’m still playing catch up.

Please bear with me as I unbury myself from the pile of virtual paper and get caught up on everything! In the meantime, head over to In Case of Survival to read the first post in my post series about Fight the Bite, the workshop from The Forge Western Martial Arts.

Hi all. Apologies for not posting on Monday. I’ve had a…weird few days and I haven’t really had the chance to sit down and write. (Also, on Monday I was off at the Fight the Bite zombie apocalypse survival/self defense class, where I was learning how to not get my ass kicked by the pet zombies. Watch for my posts on In Case of Survival about this.)

So as I mentioned in my posts last week, a nonprofit I work with lost support from a major (also nonprofit) group because the other nonprofit read my blog and was offended by it. Which is weird to me, because a) I write about the apocalypse in a rather tongue in cheek way; b) I write a lot about books in the science fiction/fantasy genres; and c) tongue in cheek, people, tongue in cheek.

Anyway. All that being said, I now find myself pausing every time I go to write something. Because what if somebody else finds it and is offended by it? I’ve already been asked to take down all mention of said nonprofits off my blog, and I’ve been asked to take down all mention of my blog on another group’s site.
