Upcoming schedule for my blog, MacGregor's Pen

My blog updates every Sunday at noon, and I plan to focus on the “Science Explains Fantasy” piece for several weeks. I’m coming up with great ideas every day, and I can’t wait to share them with you. But here’s the rub: I plan on releasing the introduction to “Science Explains Fantasy” on September 13th, and I’m going to try to heavily publicize the release of the second post, which will be a special Saturday release on September 19th, addressing the topic of immortality.

In the meantime, here's the scedule:

August 9th: “Some Semblance of a Plan” (today’s post)

August 16th: “Fear Itself” (a retelling of a lecture by literary agent, Donald Maass)

August 23rd: “Writing by the Seat of Your Pants”

August 30th: “How I Craft My Characters: Names, Skills, and Function"

September 6th: “How I Craft My Characters: Personality and Goals”

September 13th: “Science Explains Fantasy: An Introduction”

September 19th: “Science Explains Fantasy: Immortality” (special Saturday post)

September 20th: no posts scheduled (because of the special post)

September 27th: “Science Explains Fantasy: Shapeshifting”

After that, I intend to continue on with more “Science Explains Fantasy” posts until I run out of ideas. If you have any suggestions that you would like me to cover, let me know on twitter (@JDMacGregor) using the hashtag #ScienceExplainsFantasy. If you enjoyed the read, please share my blog on social media.

And, as always, thank you for reading my weekly words.
