I\u2019m not actually new to blogging; my occasionally updated site <a href=\"http:\/\/ironsoap.org\/\">ironSoap.<em>org<\/em><\/a> has been up and cataloging my various \u201cthoughts\u201d longer than the word <em>blog<\/em> has existed. But that site is for Paul Hamilton the husband\/father\/weirdo\/nerd whereas this site is for Paul Hamilton the writer. This isn\u2019t necessarily a reboot, more of a re-focusing to provide a better gateway into the writing that I\u2019m doing now. In some ways ironSoap.org is a bit of a relic; I am apt to update it occasionally but I expect the majority of new content will appear here instead as fiction writing and write-for-hire overtakes blogging.<\/p>\n<p>A few notes, probably most interesting to those who were familiar with the old site:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height:15.989583969116211px\">I\u2019ll try to be better here than I was there about tags, categories, and general searchiness, which I now profess to be a genuine word. I had kind of a one-category-probably-catchall thing happening on The Org and it probably wasn\u2019t great for people who wanted to find or filter specific things.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m definitely going to refer to the other site as The Org from now on.<\/li>\n<li>The Org was very intentionally family-friendly with next to zero objectionable language or references to sexual activities or anything that wouldn\u2019t behoove your average six year-old. I even tried to avoid linking to material that might be offensive to others, or at least provided a warning. This site is less concerned with all-ages inclusiveness. In my fiction, I write the way people talk. Sometimes people curse. People in my stories also have sex, get hurt, hurt each other, and find frightening things which may or may not actually exist. As with the first point above, I\u2019ll do my best to appropriately mark any material that might be upsetting to sensitive eyes.<\/li>\n<li>A decade of blogging has taught me that making promises about update schedules is the surest way to reduce output dramatically. As such, there won\u2019t be a regular posting schedule. However, I think I can update more often if I keep the posts short. The exception may be free fiction I intend to post here occasionally, which will probably always be short story length (or serialized to be so); 2,000-8,000 words give or take.<\/li>\n<li>Cross-posting will be kept to a minimum, as will invitations to connect with me in my various other online haunts. Contact details and social networking connections will probably make appearances somewhere on the site, but I won\u2019t clutter the posts with incessant reminders to look at my other output.<\/li>\n<li>No, I won\u2019t take the lens flare off the logo. Lens flares are cool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And just to show what a nice guy I am, I\u2019m posting my first piece of free fiction here later today. Stick around, I think it\u2019s going to be fun.<\/p>\n<p>from <a href=\"http:\/\/ironsoap.com\">(title unknown)<\/a> \u2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/ironsoap.com\/2013\/04\/its-not-new-its-ironsoap-com\/\">April 26, 2013 at 02:37PM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pardon the digital dust while I get a few things set up and fixed up around here.
