A Shift in Focus

I've come to realize, after several months of updating this blog, that few people really want to know about the process of writing a book until they have actually read it.  I completely understand that;  I too would not want to read about someone's current project unless I had read them before.  While I have no intention of discontinuing this blog or to stop detailing the process towards e-publishing, I do want to keep you, the reader, invested in my posts.

A good thing about BLOGGER is the stats.  I can see what people like to read about.  And in the case of my blog, more people visited this site for my take on the Oscars than for any other reason. Because of that fact I have decided to tweak my approach to this blog.

Beginning today I shall be adding my review of movies that I see in the theater -- not on DVD or On Demand-- to this site.  I will only post about the movies that I actually want to see, and am willing to spend my hard-earned money to go watch in the theater.  Today I will be going to see Source Code, a film by Duncan Jones.  He directed one of my favorite films of the last few years, Moon -- which if you haven't seen, you should.  

This begins a shift towards bringing you more content.  Even though a friend suggested I might write about current events, I cannot see myself talking about politics or the economy.  There are people who are much more qualified than myself to listen to on those subjects.  I'm a fiction guy.  I may talk about my Atlanta Braves on occasion, but my focus shall remain primarily on updating any interested party in the "process" of writing and publishing my first novel.

Oh, by the way, did you guys know that Jason Heyward was one of only two players to hit a homerun in his first at-bat of the season in his first two seasons?  Kazu Matsui is the other.  

Keep an eye out for my next post if you would like to know what I thought about Source Code

Very Interesting. I did enjoy 'MOON' a lot. It was quite eerie to say the lease.

Sam Rockwell was at his best. Mr. Duncan, aka Zowie Bowie, has a promising career out from under his father's shadow.
