A new Blog Title and other Minutiae

Well, it's been a while. So much for good habit-forming on the posting schedule front.
Not much has really changed between now and my last update, but it's time for a PSA.

1. grainoftruthandhyperbole has been overhauled in favor of theworldwalkersdiaries. This is relevant to item two.
2. I am hoping to do more work on my future website soon. More on that when it arrives. I hope to integrate this blog with that site, we will see what happens there. Either way, now this blog name matches my tumblr at least.
3. The site will probably not be launched until the end of the year, but I would like it to be up and running by 2015.
4. Until that time, this blog is considered UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

Thank you, this has been my PSA, everybody have a wonderful day.

A Quick Update

Hello, everyone! Hyperbole is back online, if you couldn't tell by the abrupt activity spike. Now that I've spammed you all, a few housecleaning items:

1. I am going to be looking into constructing a mailing list SOON. If you want to be a part of this, PLEASE comment on this blog post or contact me in another fashion. That way updates like this one can be longer, more personal, and they'll go directly to the people that are actually interested. Capiche?

2. Camp NaNoWriMo was a wild success, mostly in that it was super inspiring and fun. I met my revised goal of 20k for the month of July and have been terrible about keeping up since. Must get back on the bandwagon, because book five draft one of my fantasy series, The Codestone Sequence, is not finished yet.

3. After book five draft one IS finished, I will be going back and reworking book one. The game plan here is to push book one to production. I might also attempt to draft book six simultaneously, but that might make my brain explode.

4. I am going to undertake a poetry project! It is inspired by Robert Grenier's excellent interactive poem, Sentences, which you can read online here. The idea is that every phrase or series of phrases is written on an index card. There are five hundred of them, and the reader makes a poem by drawing them at random. Ergo, my project will revolve around the same idea. At least, the same physical medium. Except bound in a stab-binding book. Perhaps.

5. If I ever finish any visual art that's worthwhile maybe I'll put it up here. And on Tumblr, as it's more picture-friendly. Would anyone be interested in seeing some original characters here?

6. I'm sorry I'm so bad at posting on schedule. I mean it. It's not okay. I'll try to be better at it, I promise. With that in mind, I'll see you Saturday.

Thank you for reading, and goodnight!

Public Service Announcement: Salutations!

Good afternoon, all of you lovely people! As you might have noticed, Grain of Truth is moving toward being back in business! Here are some things that I hope you all will look forward to:

1. I have a backlog of books to review for you. Since we saw each other last, I had the extreme good fortune of being in a young adult literature class, so some seriously exciting things there. I am also currently reading James Brotherton's Reclaiming the Dead, speaking of exciting.

2. Grain of Truth is going to merge (somehow) with my other blog, Tangential. It began as an academic blog and slowly became more and more about art, but I figure it's easier to put everything in one place. Still considering whether or not to move all (or any) of the Tangential posts over here, but the idea is, you might be seeing some of my creative work shortly.

3. Hopefully you will also get an update about my bigger projects soon. Hush hush for now.

4. I will be signalboosting this blog with my tumblr, which you can find here. Follow me and I will follow you back!

5. A blogging schedule/calendar! The idea is to work toward this, so please bear with me.

In fact, please bear with me on all of these things: I am trying to establish a schedule for most parts of my life now that I'm out of school, and it might be a little crazy for a while.

Anyway, toodles, and thanks for reading!
