Time is always a factor in my life. I try to do a lot, and never have time to do all I want. I had a to-do list for this weekend. I’ve been able to do some of it, but not all. I wanted to resume writing articles for Internet content sites. Revenues have gone up at Suite101.com, despite the fact that I haven’t written an article there since February. Ideas have been developing for a number of articles for that site.

Then there’s Decoded Science. This is a fairly new content site, somewhat specialized. The owner of that site is a Suite101 writer, and she invited me to write for the site. However, while I was working intently on In Front of Fifty Thousand Screaming People I couldn’t find the time for it. Now that I’m done with the novel, I should write a few articles for DecSci and see what that site can do for me. I can think of several articles that would fit somewhere on the site.

I have begun research on the next volume of Documenting America. I’m thinking of having most of the chapters on documents from the Civil War era. That may simplify things. I don’t have definite plans for it yet, but ideas are beginning to gel.

Of course, sales of Volume 1 aren’t doing so well. I need to do some more promotion, and may start on that soon. I continue to ponder whether I should write a newsletter for the DA series, which I would call Citizen and Patriot. It would be only 2 pages to start with, and I would use it to promote my other writing as well. However, I’m not quite ready to make a commitment to that. Possibly I’ll write a couple and see what the time commitment is, and what it will look like.

I have more to say, but I think my readers of this blog will become tired of my constantly proclaiming what my writing projects are, so I’ll close. I hope to write three blog posts a week at each of my blogs. Tonight, I think, will be a planning night for all these endeavors.
