The Reason for this Blog

Why I created a blog about the City of Heroes and the City of Villains:
  1. I really enjoy writing, even though I'm not very good at it.
  2. I want to keep writing to improve!
  3. Writing about my experiences helps in keeping me interested in the game. Its like a fun diversion to break up the monotony.
  4. As well as working a day job in downtown Boston, I own a business that develops and maintains several web properties, a few of which are blogs about various topics. It felt only natural that I create one for my adventures in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
  5. As mentioned, I do have several blogs, but in different content management systems like Wordpress, Joomla!, Drupal, and Modx. I have never used Google's Blogger. It's about time I check it out.
  6. Even though this project is mostly for my own entertainment, if anyone stumbles on this blog and enjoys it, that would be great too!
The blog content will consist of:
  1. News and updates on the development of the game(s) and my accompanying opinions on it.
  2. General commentary on missions, raids, or other in-game events.
  3. Discussion on character build. This includes tips and general commentary on personal experiences with certain powersets and archetypes.
  4. "In character" entries from my characters' point of view. Please understand that I am not a role player by any stretch of the imagination. I never ever initiate my characters interacting with anyone else's character. This includes in-game or on forums and whatnot. If I'm around role players, its cool, but just don't expect me to participate, because its just not my thing. I do however, enjoy writing origin and fan fiction for my characters. That's just about the extent of my role playing.
I have several goals for this blog:
  1. To actually keep updating it! My business blogs have paid writers posting for me. This blog will just be me and I want to be committed to it.
  2. That friends and family reading this blog actually likes it!
  3. To eventually have another writer or two posting to this blog as well. It certainly doesn't hurt to a second or third opinion on things.
