All The Things We’ll Talk About This Month

Posted on by

Today was the first day back to work after one of the best weekends of my life, so I’m going to make it easy on myself and use today as a day of planning for the rest of the month.

Like so many Octobers, I want to create a blog post every day this month. I stumbled a little bit out the gate, but like I said before, these rules are arbitrary and I’m holding to the spirit of them. So far, so good.

I asked on Twitter and Facebook what I should talk about this month, and here is the list of topics compiled from your suggestions. I’m not sure how many are winners, but I’ll make the most of it and we’ll have a good time.

Let’s see if I can order these by day number, including the days that have already passed:

  1. Baycon 2023 Day 1, Blog Year 10
  2. Baycon 2023 Day 2
  3. Baycon 2023 Day 3 – The Brain Weasels
  4. Baycon 2023 Day 4 — Time To Go Home
  5. All The Things We’ll Talk About This Month

  8. The 10 Year Recap
  9. Gaming as Writing Fuel
  10. Climate and Climate Change

  20. The Byzantine-Sasanian War of 620-628 AD
  21. Mashed Potatoes

  23. The Rise of Queer Protagonists in Genre Fiction
  24. The Most Common Questions I am Asked

  27. Writing in Someone Else’s Sandbox
  28. Sequels!
  29. The Repossessed Ghost Readings!
  30. My Story Ideas — 2023 Edition
  31. The Games We Play

That’s the list. I may move things around, and I may call an audible and do something not in the list and rearrange things. This is sort of how I create my outlines before a draft. It’s a plan set in clay, not in stone, and if I see a better way, I’ll do that.
