Hey 3.5 readers.
Your old pal, BQB here.
I began this fine blog 6 years ago, deciding to try my hand at the blogging game.
I did it on a whim and had I put some thought into it, I would have done a lot of things differently.
My initial idea was that I would just create a little web presence. I’d blog once in a blue moon and I was going to focus on book reviews. In the mean time, I’d concentrate on writing books of my own.
As time went on, I found followers and things got silly. I developed the persona of Bookshelf Q. Battler, a nerd in secret, was an adventurer who fought zombies, werewolves, chupacabras, aliens, traveled the world, time traveled, went to space and so on.
In the past couple years, I got old. Relaxing and watching TV at the end of the day became more appealing than blogging for the entertainment of 3.5 readers. (No offense, 3.5 readers.)
On top of that, I decided the little time and I energy I do get would be better spent focusing on novel drafts. I always have something in the works and hold out hope that I’ll be a successful novelist one day, though the older I get, the more I realize this is something I can’t bank on.
I’m not crazy about the pen name “Bookshelf Q. Battler.” It doesn’t really sound like a name and if I could do it again, I might have picked something that sounds like an actual name. The actual name could have been given a fun backstory of being a reclusive adventurer or something.
Anyway, here’s to another 6 years and hopefully by then, you 3.5 readers will multiply and there will be 7 of you.
