Regular posting will resume soon. Probably once I define “regular”. But I think there will be some changes, I don’t like where this blog has been going.

Come back soon. Your writing is missed.

Thanks Auralay. I’ll be starting up again this week. I’ve just needed to rethink some of the things I’ve been writing here… like, this is no place to be giving updates on how my son’s week has gone. I can do that elsewhere. I think, for almost a year, I’ve been writing to an audience rather than for myself, it’s a trap I used to get into with my column writing. I’d get some positive feedback on a topic, then start writing to get the positive feedback rather than what I wanted to write about.
So if I get thirty comments all loving the updates I post on my son, this blog will eventually become entirely about updates on my son. The same goes for the more tangible tragedies I’ve had in my life. If those posts get huge amounts of comments, then I’ll spend more time trying to write about those topics. It’s the blogger / writers curse. The feedback can drive the writer’s direction.
I’ll be back here soon. Thanks for poking me.
