The Cookie Crumbles goes live on Monday!

The blog is moving to WordPress and changing names, largely due to my getting married and taking HER name in a middle finger to patriarchy and marriage traditions that had everything to do with property transfer. 

Fear not though. Writing About Writing will live on (although a few characters and series will not be making the move). It will become one part of a much larger blog that will touch on my priesthood to The Morrigan (a pagan Irish deity) general woo woo* stuff, tarot, social justice (I'm a social justice BARD—because of course I am), fitness—including my own adventures running and CPT career, and any stab I make or have made at fiction.  

*Salutes* "General Woo Woo"

Coming on Monday—The Cookie Crumbles

Drop down menus.  

Slick new look.

Amazingly smooth interface (especially compared to Writing About Writing)

Mobile support. 

The new blog has SEVERAL topics of which Writing About Writing is only ONE.

All this goodness coming Monday

The Big News is Here (This Blog is Being Retired)

At last I can break the big news. I give you a sneak peak at The Cookie Crumbles.

This blog is moving!

Folks, Writing About Writing is a small part of the writing I do these days. And it's going to be a part of a MUCH bigger blog. Rather than continue to shoehorn weird topics into flimsy justifications that it's "sort of about writing" or tossing EVERYTHING over into NOT Writing About Writing, I'm making space for the many topics I write about. The Morrigan. Tarot. Woo-woo stuff. Social Justice. Ethical Non-Monogamy. And of course writing. 

Second, big news. I'm getting married. In a big middle finger to gender roles, I'm going to use my spouse's name, which is Cookie, instead of her taking mine. My legal name will remain the same but my writing and "street" name is about to be Chris Cookie. 

(We're very excited about inviting people to group sex by asking if they've ever had a Cookie sandwich.) 

Thus…The Cookie Crumbles.

You'll see a few more screenshots in the next few weeks but in ONE WEEK the new blog will be rolling out. 

Stay tuned for more news about the transition and new blog.

WATCH THIS SPACE (TOMORROW!)

Tomorrow. Yes tomorrow. Yes tomorrow.  

Peeps. In this petty place from "Away" to YAY!

You've waited. You've wondered. You've bitten your nails to the quick. You've quivered with antici….*

And tomorrow the moment will be here.

Tomorrow I'll tell you what's going on. And ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW you'll get to see the results.

But in the meantime, a clue….

Cawing crow
Crow and weight
Weight of words
Words of fate
Fate beyond
Beyond the word
Words of wisdom
Wise ol bird.

THREE MORE DAYS

We've been hard at work for a couple of weeks now on The Latest Big Thing™ and after a few more ten and twelve hour days, we're going to be ready to show you what we're up to.

It's going to change EVERYTHING about this blog. 


Three more days until the announcement. Ten more days until the official unveiling. 

But I will give you one clue….

Keanu Reeves voice: "Cookies. Lots of cookies."

FOUR MORE DAYS

BIG BIG NEWS IS COMING!!!

Did I say six more days yesterday? (I did.)

Yeah, that's because I'm a math for liberal arts type and I can't count past four. I should have said five more days. Which means today is four more days.

On Monday the 14th, I will announce the big change that is coming. And in ONE week from that day (the 21st) it will be unveiled.   

I will give you this one hint though….

The big changes coming to the blog are predicated on BIG changes coming in my personal life. There are cookies involved. 

SIX DAYS TO ANNOUNCEMENT

SIX DAYS

Hello everyone!

The sounds of construction you hear are everyone here at Writing About Writing working overtime on a HUGE project and major change to this blog. (And actually to NOT Writing About Writing too.) An offhand comment led to a conversation which led to a plan and we were off to the races. Sometimes inspiration is lightning in a bottle. 

It's going to be big, and it's going to be COOL!

In six days, I will tell you what's coming. One week from then, the unveiling will be made public.
