			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing fancy today&#8230; just getting my feet wet. <img src='http://larissalyons.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But after debating for months I finally decided to start blogging, with the hope of keeping fans and readers more up-to-date on what I&#8217;m working on story-wise, as well as sharing my thoughts &#8212; goofy though they may be &#8212; on such far-reaching, mind-titillating topics as 007 (yes, James Bond&#8230;I&#8217;m a fan of both the books &amp; the movies and over time will offer reviews of them all),  the writing life of a health-challenged author who strives to feel better every day and make sure every book is better than the last, and I&#8217;ll also be posting reviews of my &#8220;Keeper Shelf&#8221; &#8212; those books that have been in my possession ranging up to 20 years or more, that I considered top of the tops. There&#8217;s a ton of traditional Signet Regencies on that list, but also a large number of books in other genres. Lastly, I&#8217;m sure there will be the occasional recipe or chocolate fix, or better still &#8212; little tips on living well and being happy. Because as far as I&#8217;m concerned, there is so much crappola going on in the world around us I think it&#8217;s really important when our own corner of this wonderful world is as pleasant and peaceful and smile-engendering as we can make it. That&#8217;s what I strive for&#8211; in my life, and with my stories&#8211;pleasantness and peace and contentment. All good qualities I think may sometimes be overlooked.</p>
<p>For several years now, I&#8217;ve attempted to update my Lair every other month or so and share all my writing news and best kitty pictures all at once but sometimes I&#8217;m woefully late. I think trying a blogging format, where I can post smaller snippets more frequently, and organize them according to topic, will prove a more efficient way to share what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<p>For the next few days, as I wade in a little deeper &#8212; and because Alyssa and I have a fabulous release coming out next week &#8212; I&#8217;ll be posting frequently as I get into my groove, but eventually, I&#8217;m not sure how often I&#8217;ll add things. I thought about posting just whenever I feel like it, I&#8217;ve also thought about attempting to do it on the &#8220;5&#8217;s&#8221; (i.e., on the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th and so on&#8230;). I also might try doing it once a week, say on Thursdays&#8230;</p>
<p>Haven&#8217;t made up my mind yet, but I do think every single day is more ambitious than I&#8217;m up for right now, but if you have an opinion I&#8217;d love to hear it. Are you someone that enjoys going to a blog every single day? Or is once a week or twice a month good enough?</p>
<p>Share your preference if you have it and have a wonderful day! Larissa</p>
