Every Post Doesn’t Have to Be Epic

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

I just realized this.

I’ve been experiencing the urge to blog quite a bit lately, but I simply haven’t had the time. Working on three different novels in addition to everything else I normally do—

Okay, I’ll stop. But you get me, don’t you? I’m going to work on blogging more but maybe blogging shorter. I’d still like to blog well, but…well, I’m tired of using blog as a verb, and if I’m tired of it, you’re probably ready to slam your head into your monitor.

So to prevent you from doing that, I’ll leave you with this, the only aspect of the post that’s epic:

Oh, and the obligatory image of something else epic:

FREEDOM!!!!!!!

  2. I’m glad you plan to worry less and post more. The truth is, when I’m busy myself, I have a hard time keeping up with frequent, lengthy, EPIC posts anyway. (And shouldn’t we all be busy, doing whatever creative, arty thing we do?)

    Sure, I’ll read my favorites, assuming I get the chance, but I’ll skip or skim long stuff that isn’t absolutely on point for my mood. Still, I hate it when an blogger goes quiet for too long. I’d rather get more frequent little updates, just so I know that my tribe is out there, accomplishing things.. If it’s been a while since the last long post, I’m more likely to take the time to really read a new one, even when I’m busy.

    In other words, I think you’re completely right.

    All that said, I’m reminded that I need to get a ‘yes I’m still alive” post up today.

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, and in a way, that explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows “the best horror novel of 2012”. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, “reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.” Samhain Horror will also publish his third novel, The Darkest Lullaby, in April. Savage Species will be his fourth full-length work. Look for his fifth novel, a vampire western called Dust Devils, in early 2014. He has also written three novellas (The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour Theatre) and several short stories. His primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author’s wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true.
