  • An experiment

    0

    As you know, stalwart reader, I went on hiatus at the beginning of the month. And I’ve been doing a bit of thinking since that time. And I’ve decided to give up regular blogging.

    The reasons are many.

    One, I’m homeschooling now and sticking to a schedule of three posts a week, in between teaching, running a house and writing, is too much. (We don’t have servants, remember.)

    Two, each post takes hours to cross-reference and write, which is time I can spend more productively on, y’know, writing!

    Three, it’s all a bit … static.

    So, I’m trying a new experiment. I may save this blog for things like reviews and notes for myself, but you’ll now find me regularly on Twitter. (And maybe Tumblr. I’m still thinking about that one.)

    I see this as a natural progression of things. I tried podcasting and this blogging thing. Let’s move on and see what else tech can do for me. I’ll still keep my food blog up (updated every Wednesday, starting next week. I promise) and you can catch me at Novel Spaces on the 8th and 24th of each month. And I might even turn up at SFR Brigade a bit more often, now that the pressure’s off. But this blog is moving into snail-on-ganja mode from today onwards.

    Catch you on the ‘tubes!

    Yes, I know it’s a bit sudden but, as they say, my get-up-and-go just got up and left. I have some serious editing work to get through this month and I would rather not post at all than do it sporadically. I’ll be back later in the month. Maybe.
