If we were having coffee… Transitions Week
06/20/2015 9 Comments
If we were having coffee, I would tell you it feels like a week of transitions.
In a number of ways and places. Coming from timing, from my actions, from others. All in all, it’s like it’s been long enough with a newborn to start moving into leading a life with a newborn. Infant now, I guess?
Here on DBCII, transitions are coming as we move into year two of the Wordless Wednesdays. Expect to see a bit of a format change – I might include words! Which might defeat the name, shhhhhh…
On Comparative Geeks, the transitions are several. For one, our large collection of blog posts have come to an end – we’re back to being the main writers on the blog come Monday. However, as our post yesterday indicated, we’re at a point of change there as well – Comparative Geeks is moving forward as a blog which regularly has contributors. Quite a few have already gotten in touch with me through all sorts of different methods. I think things are going to get fun over there!
In general with blogging, I think there’s a lot of transitioning going on. My local blogosphere is increasingly collaborating, cross-posting and writing combined posts or doing interviews. We have a community there, and I think that more and more will be happening with that. What started basically as some Feminist Friday posts is becoming so much more!
In my gaming life, we have officially reached the point where I feel like we can say we have started a Warmachine community. We have now someone playing all of the Warmachine factions, and enough different people that there might be at least one Warmachine game happening a week at the local game store. If we keep that up, we’ll all have more fun with the game, and hopefully pull in even more players!
And meanwhile, the Geek Baby is getting more sleep. Which means that we may actually have energy to handle all the rest of this…
How about you? Change in your life, or stay the course? And find more folks for coffee through the links on Part-Time Monster!
Such fun changes ahead! I certainly hope there will be more combined posts. I had a blast, and it made me hungry for more. I like the idea of a dual regular feature. I’ve been thinking about it since the Ultron post. Thanks for coffee. I hope you have a great weekend. It’s lovely that Geek Baby is sleeping more. I remember the celebrations in my house when that happened with the girls 😉

It is celebration worthy 😀
The combined posts have been great, because I really liked the back and forth in the interview as well! The thing is we have to have something several people are ready to write about – and we have so many varied interests! Something to think about over coffee.

Hurrah for sleeping babies. I remember feeling instantly better when my kids started to sleep more. A miraculous change. I’m experiencing a week of change myself which will give me more time to write and read. 🙂

Glad you’re getting a bit more sleep! I remember those days…
And it does seem like we’re moving into a new phase of collaboration with our little community, even while everyone is incredibly busy offline. It’s nice. 🙂

It is – and the collaboration can actually help reduce all of our stress and work, rather than increase it. Have already started getting new Comparative Geeks submissions 🙂
