When I started reading your "meet cigaro" or whatever his name is I skipped and moved to the next blog. I noticed then that everyone else did too :) I skipped for the same reason, reading a full bit of fiction requires an effort to submerge yourself in the reality of the story, but blog posts you don't have to work so hard at. My fave blogs you've done have been your description of short story concepts. I think you could successfully just blog those same sort of concepts and skip actually turning them into polished works. I was really drawn into your short descriptions without having to work at submerging myself in them. PS: 1 or so hour train ride to and from work is a great place to get a stack of writing done. I'm finishing about 2,000 words a day just on my commute. At this rate I'll have my 100,000 word epic fantasy first novel (that's how I found your blog) in 2.5 months. PPS: I haven't actually added to my blog in nearly a year but don't have trouble commenting on other people's.
