So I think I already know the official answer to the question I am about to ask, but what I want to know is this: should I care?
I currently host a blog where on the very seldom occasion I have something good and polished enough to post, I like to share my speculative fiction writing.
However, I would also like to have a blog where I can share whatever I like, whether it be fiction, non-fiction, opinions, etc., and I have been toying with the idea of just turning my fiction blog into a person blog containing my fiction writing.
I would separate posts category so someone could come to the website and click "Short Stories", "Dan's Blog" or whatever series I am writing, and be able to see posts solely from that category. The problem I have, is that it doesn't seem that I can make it so that the most recent post, regardless of category, doesn't show up on the front page of Wordpress.
I know the general rule of blogging success is to specialize and stick to one subject, but I think the reality is that I'm not sure my goal is to build a following. I don't plan to write a book or make a living from writing, but I do enjoy writing about things I am excited about, and that's not always fiction.
With that being said: should I really care about ruining the integrity of my fiction writing blog so I can enjoy writing whatever I want without having to manage more than one blog?
Thanks,
Dan
