Blog Map

Planning without action is futile, action without planning is fatal.

A man without a plan is a man planning to fail.

Four months of blogging has further affirmed my need to create a master organizational chart of how I intend to weave together numerous blog posts of various topics. I hope a flexible framework to intelligibly order posts will achieve a greater continuity of writing and assist readers to know what is coming down the pipeline. In addition, I believe an organic organization will aid me in resisting the urge to write about whatever I feel like resulting in randomness, confusion, and wasted time contemplating what to write about each week. 

The diagram to your immediate right is symbolic of a might river having numerous tributaries flowing into each segment. Listed below are massive organizational charts and a solid block of text inclusive of individual posts. Please click on the charts to follow a link to a larger document. All of the charts contain the same information simply presented in different formats. Upon completion they were very messy so check them out and see what works best for you! 

Throughout the year I will be continually updating my blog map so please check permanent link in the blog directory to your right often!

Perhaps unsurprisingly due to the massive nature of my topical progression, it currently appears I have a sufficient number of topics to last me three years! A bittersweet realization indeed. I am slightly overwhelmed at the sheer volume of writing and formidable task that lies ahead, but greatly encouraged there is no reason to fear running out of material and excited by the numerous topics I am eager to write about.
