I have decided that I am going to start posting some of the reviews that I originally posted on Epinions here. I think that most of the time when I do that, I’ll probably make at least a few changes. When I do repost one of those reviews, I will mention that it was originally posted on Epinions. If I have recently rewatched the movie, then I might just do a whole new review. I think I will still mention that I had previously posted a review of the book at Epinions in that case as well.
I have managed to watch more movies recently and I hope to get some reviews posted soon. I have mostly kept up with posting about the movies I have seen in the theater in the last few months, so that is something. At times, I think I will make shorter posts about what I have watched recently. If I have already done a longer review on that movie, then I will link back to it. I may also do posts at times about what movies will be coming out soon and which ones I want to try to see.
I want to set up a page, or maybe it will just be a few posts, that list the books I have reviewed along with links to the reviews. I had something like set up for my reviews at Epinions as well. I will be doing that for each of my blogs. I know I don’t have many posts on any of them right now, but I figure that this is a good time to get started on that.

Changes
Something beyond my control that happened on February 25th 2014 is causing me to make some changes tied to how I post things online. Epinons.com, the review site I have been a member of for almost thirteen years, is no longer allowing members to post reviews, rate reviews, edit, or even delete reviews. Members will no longer be able to log on after March 25.
The site had problems over the years, but I remained optimistic that things would get better, or at least, not get any worse. I really didn’t think they would close up completely like this. I guess that makes me a bit gullible. The site has been a huge part of my life for these almost thirteen years and I feel like something is missing. I truly love writing about books, movies, and television shows. Now that Epinions is no more, I have been thinking on how I would continue to write about those things.
Last year, I joined another site, Bubblews as MarieDragonfire. People can post about anything there and some people say they have made a lot of money there. I posted different things there last year, though mostly still connected to books, movies, or tv shows in some way. Other things happened to sort of suck my motivation for writing in general for a while. In the last few days, I have started to post there again.
I have decided that I will post here about movies more again. I am thinking that some of what I post will be like the reviews I posted at Epinions - and I may even rework reviews that were originally posted there. I think I will also post some other things that may just be me talking briefly about upcoming movies or things like that. I have also decided to start another blog just for writing about books, Purple Dragon Books. I may make one for television shows as well, once I think up another name. I will leave the posts about books that I did previously here.
I still think about writing and posting about books, movies, and tv shows all the time. Hopefully, I can post more actively this year between my blogs and Bubblews than I managed to do last year.

I'm Back...I Hope
I knew that it had been a while since I posted something here. I kept meaning to do more posts, but I didn't for various reasons. I had no idea it had been so long since my last post until just recently when I finally logged back in here.
I just spent some time tonight changing the theme and a few things here. I am happier with the theme now than what I had before, though I might still do a few small changes.
I am trying to write more again in general lately. I haven't been posting as much at Epinions for a while now, and I don't like that. I am doing better this month, and I hope to get several more reviews done by the end of the month. I just didn't have much time for doing reviews, or reading and rating, for a few months when work was a bit nuts.
I did join Bubblews about three weeks ago. I've done several posts there so far, but I not posting as much as some members evidently do. I do like that members can write about anything they want and how we can see the money we earn add up in real time.
Well I think I am done for now.

Associated Content
I first heard about Associated Content, a website where people can post articles or reviews about all sorts of things, several years ago. I did look at the site a bit at that point, but I didn’t join. I’ve thought about joining off and on over the years. As part of my effort to expand my writing a bit, I finally decided to go ahead and join Associated Content at the end of September.
I write as Marie Dragonfire as Associated Content. I am still getting started there, so I only have three articles published at this point, with another waiting to be published. I had hoped to have more published there by now, but an illness in my family did cut into the time I had for writing this month. I do have ideas for more things to write about there and I want to get to where I post several new articles there a week. I’ll probably have to work up to that, especially since I’ll be getting busier in the next several months, but that is my plan.
So far I have posted articles about a few television shows on Associated Content. I think I will continue to do that. I like that I can post about individual episodes or the show in general there. I also want to try to post other entertainment type articles, probably with movies since that is what I am most comfortable writing about. I may branch out into other things every so often, though I haven’t decided what just yet. From what I have seen there so far, it does look like it is possible to write on just about anything there which is nice.
Even though I have decided to join Associated Content and I hope to publish new content there regularly, I am still a member of Epinions - dragonfire88 - and have no plans to stop posting reviews there.
Feel free to visit my Associated Content page or Epinions page.
