LearningNerd

I’ll be interrupting my series on prewriting techniques to make a few changes around here. I started this blog a couple months ago, and since then I’ve been writing nothing but how-to posts every other day! I haven’t burned out yet, but I’m worried I will — especially with everything else I’ll be doing soon, like getting my driver’s license and then getting my first job (hopefully).

So, three things:

Thing #1: I’m going to start relearning math, since I’ve gotten pretty rusty. (If you know long division, I’d like to hear from you!)

Thing #2: I’ll be posting smaller, more personal posts as well as my comprehensive how-to guides. I don’t know about you, but I need a little variety. And now that I’ll be learning math, I need to let myself learn in smaller chunks, rather than trying to learn everything at once and put it together at the same time.

Thing #3: From now on, I’ll be posting about different subjects on different days of the week, instead of focusing on one subject for weeks at a time and then switching to a new one. My current plan is this: math, science, and technological stuff on Mondays; language, humanities, and social stuff on Wednesdays; and later, art and miscellaneous stuff on Fridays. This may very well change in the future, of course. I’m still not sure if or how I’ll offer a separate RSS feed for each of those days, but I’ll figure that out. (Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!) Depending on how much time I have, I’ll post my smaller, more personal posts on the other days of the week — or, if I’m really busy, I might have to downgrade a major post to a minor one sometimes. We’ll see how it goes.

So, check back on Monday (tomorrow) for my first math-related post, and on Wednesday for Prewriting Techniques: Brainstorming (Listing). See you then!
