Stories and Excerpts by Neil A. Hogan

There are a number of stories I’ve written over the past few years that are either no longer in print, or are no longer that noticeable. So, I thought, why not make them free, or at the very least, choose some excerpts for people to read online?!

And so, here is the list. All these are available on my site right now for you to read. Of course, an opportunity may appear that will mean I take them off again, but in the meantime, I hope you find something interesting.

Welcome to the Blog of Neil A. Hogan

Hey, great to have you here. Thank you for hunting down my blog. Well, one of them.

You see, I’ve been writing blogs since at least ’96. I’m sure I’ve got a hard drive with Windows 3.1 that has some message board blog posts from before that, too. The problem is, I’ve never really found a style that suits. I don’t know if you’ve had the problem? You know, you sit down, get ready to write something, then out comes all the travels you’ve been on, meals you’ve had and things you’ve written, and you get to the end of it and look at it and say something like, “Wow, that was great! I love what I wrote, just for me.” Then you step back a bit, look at it sideways, and think “Er, but is anyone actually going to read that?” then you hit delete, and sigh.

Or, you create a blog with the intention of promoting all your books. Excerpts, reviews, why people should read it, and at the end of the day realize all you’ve done is create a catalog.

There are also those blogs I began that quickly attracted trolls and stalkers, or those blogs on Facebook that garnered thousands of readers from towns in India and China (robot software) or those blogs where I was initially interested in a subject, then when I had completely exhausted it, had nothing more to say, and it was just costing hosting money year after year.

So, while I’m going to say ‘This Blog Will Be Different’ I have no idea if it’ll still be here in a year’s time. Still, I’ve now figured out the best way to write it. And perhaps, I’ve finally found the secret sauce to keep it going.

Stick around to find out more!
