So, here's how this is going to work:

1. there is no schedule.  I plan to do multiple posts a week but I'm keeping the timing flexible so I can go out for beers or take a real day off every now and then.  That and I've got a blogging gig with regularly scheduled features already.  I don't want the same hassle on my "relief valve" blog
2. I'm going to try and get ahead of what I post by 5-10k words, if only so I can do a few edits before words go live on the blog, but:
   
3. there is no buffer yet...
4. ...and even when there is, it's not going to change point #1: there is no regular posting schedule.
5. there will be the usual  [first -- previous -- next] links that I've used before, so even though I'm blogging, you should still be able to read all the bits in proper order.
   

So:

Next scheduled post:  11 August.  Nothing's been written (I don't even have a working title yet) but we'll give this another shot starting saturday.

I can of course refer you to this 15-month-old post on why I never seem to hit a deadline, though there are numerous examples on the blog already, I hardly need to spell it out for you.

Right now the buffer still stands at zero words; I have ideas, but haven't managed to type anything novel-ish (or even prose-ish) yet.  When it does come it will no doubt be a surprising to me as it is to any of my readers.

New deadline:  Saturday the 18th; if only because I have Friday off, and at least technically will have time to write something before Sat. AM.
