The X-Files Friday Feature: The Perils of Blogging

Unfortunately, there won't be a normal Friday Feature today. It's 8:49 on Friday morning and I'm already leaving my house much later than I expected to.

Normally, I schedule posts days, even weeks in advance. I watch more episodes in a week than there are days I choose to post, which allows me to build a nice backlog. (I've actually already watched through season 2, episode 19.)

For Friday Features, I usually write them well in advance, though I often tweak them to be more relevant to the episodes through the week they'll be posted. Some I'm saving because there are extremely relevant aspects in episodes I haven't yet posted about.

But what happened today is that I had a post planned and written, then got up this morning and wasn't happy with what I saw in the preview. I spent about 45 minutes rewriting and rearranging it, but at that point I felt it was rushed and wasn't really pleased with how it was turning out, so I decided to give myself more time to refine it.

Hopefully by the time it actually goes up, it'll be something I'm satisfied with and is compelling and interesting, and not a rushed out jumble of my own rambling that even I can no longer make heads or tails of.

Also hopefully, this won't happen again any time soon and I'll be more prepared for a post to go up at the normal time on Friday mornings from here on out.

So I apologise for the extreme lack of content today, but I'm definitely anxiously awaiting Monday, when my post about the next two-part episode in the series will go up.
