"Upon reflection, it seems as though, increasingly, this journal has become less about my writing and more about things I'm probably better off not discussing at all publicly. If nothing else, it's hard to imagine that I'm not boring the crap out of some people, while leading others to conclude I am a complete lunatic and alienating still others. So, from here on, I believe I will be confining myself primarily to that subject for which this journal was created — my writing and the promotion of my writing. The rest is likely only white noise, anyway."
Seriously, can you truly separate any of these things from your writing? I know I can't - for one thing, I doi not think a writer may be able to draw a line between their various life subjects, experiences, musings, and their work; in my own modest efforts, I certainlly cannot - and as a reader, I do not see any line between the various subjects you bring up here and your fiction. Different sides, at most, but a same world.
I second the previous comment - I find the diversity of subjects fascinating, especially since some of them hit pretty close to home, such as your insights on Wicca and Paganism for example. Is that any more weird to some people than what you write in your fiction? If somebody can't stand what you say here, I very much doubt they can stand your books -after all, it's you inside those pages all the same! I understand and respect privacy, if that is what you need; however, it will be sorely mourned by many of us.
