Pic­ture from here

I’m out of writ­ing ideas.   Well that’s not com­pletely true, I have lots of writ­ing ideas.  My prob­lem is that I just don’t know how to write them yet.   When I sit down and start to write them they are not coher­ent, too short, and don’t make sense.   More or less these ideas still need to fes­ter away in my brain some more before I can spew them out in some sort of leg­i­ble thought.   My dilemna is that I want to reg­u­lary update my blog, and I want to write.   Main­tain­ing a writ­ing reg­i­ment keeps the mind sharp, keeps your read­er­ship up, and gives you prac­tice in writ­ing — which does make you a bet­ter writer then actu­ally think­ing about it.

To this end I plan to start writ­ing movie, book, and video game reviews.   Orig­i­nally I was going to use spoilershorts.com for that — but the orig­i­nal con­cept had reviews in a very short form.  I may repur­pose it and post the reviews from creeva.com over there also, but for now I look at the writ­ing and not posi­tion­ing.   I’ve always wanted to do reviews, but never really got around to it.   With the excep­tion of movies that are new and in the the­aters — I’m going to hold off on movies I see at ran­dom and focus (for now) on what I actu­ally own.   Some­times I’ll even be offer­ing my own copies for sale (I really need to clean out and trim down some of my collections).

I’m not going to turn my blog into a review blog, I’m still going to write my ran­dom unfo­cused style — the reviews will just allow me to write ahead and make sure that you have some­thing new and inter­est­ing to read every sin­gle day.   It will also allow me to copy and paste and get some of the reviews done that I’ve wanted to do for All Con­sum­ing and Ama­zon.

Write once — use every­where — the cross­posters motto.
