Revamp of blog output, structure

Ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed that since I started this blog, there hasn't been much activity.  In fact, my most output this year was back in February, and I made only seven postings out of 28 possible days to do so.  So, I have decided to correct the problem by giving structure where none existed before.

First things first, as they say, will be that a blog posting will be made daily.  Of course, that's the whole point of blogging.  The fact it took me a year to really get on that is no reflection on my intelligence.  However, those postings will be structured so a posting will reflect what that day's posting should be.

To that end, I have outlined the daily posting system to be used.  Each day of the week will be modeled after a topic that I enjoy and wish to impart my views on.  Below is the topic days.

Monday - "Monday Musings" - The topics mentioned on Monday will be of a random nature and may feature current events, facts of history, or anything I'm thinking of.  The subjects will range far and wide.

Tuesday - "Trek Tuesday" - This topic day centers around one of my favorite pasttimes: Star Trek.  The topics will features the things about the Trek that amuse, belittle, or further my outlook.  From those in the know to those that don't so we can step closer to the 23rd Century.

Wednesday - "World Wide Wednesday" - This topic day will feature my own viewpoints on the current events, holidays, and whatnot occurring outside our 50-state union.  In short, it's the John Maxwell view of world events, making it easlier to understand for all.

Thursday - "Television Thursday" - This topic day will center around television, the medium of choice since 1950.  Its history, its impact, shows, people, ideas, and much more.  Learn all about the box that provides endless fun and endless junk, sometimes at the same time.

Friday - "Friendship Fridays" - This topic day will be used to further the connections between all of us by making note of bad people and ideas that should be avoided, in order to make friends better and hopefully bringing us all together by taking the bad with the good.

Saturday - "The Saturday Night Show" - Saturdays will not be a topic day but instead, by used to bring fiction written by me to you.  The fiction I write is all over the place, so one week science fiction, the next week comedy, so be prepared for anything.

Sunday - "The Sunday Night Social" - On Sundays, I plan to hold a online social, where any fan of the blog can submit poems, songs, stories, and whatever else they wish.  I hope that by making a day open to all, I can see how far my own influence reaches.

Also, I plan to bring Life in Hyperion to the blog in the form of three-week serials.  Those serials will start in January.  I also plan other serials so that I don't just stick with the above topic days and you can enjoy more fiction whenever possible.

The above changes will take place on the first day of the year 2011, with the first edition of "The Saturday Night Show".  I hope that these changes will make it easlier to understand me.  So, in conclusion, the re-birth of the blog is upon you, so take notice, my followers.

Yours truly, John Maxwell.
