Unexpected Things
So, yeah. About the roaring silence.
Sometimes the best-laid plans…etc.
Life has sent a few (significant) unanticipated challenges and changes my way recently. And these things aren’t about to go away. So… I’ve had to make the difficult decision to re-direct my energies from this site to the Real Life Stuff.
I’m well aware that the way to build an online audience/platform is through regular, uninterrupted blog posts. And that just isn’t going to happen here. Not for a while. But rather than shutter everything and write it off as a fun three-month experiment, I’ve decided to leave the blog right here. When I have a writing window, I’ll finish one of the many posts waiting in the “drafts” folder and let you know about it through Twitter or Facebook. But… don’t hold your breath. (Well, you can if you want. Just don’t blame me when you expire.)
I’m not happy about this. I like it here. But you know how life works, right? Of course you do – because that’s what you’re writing about. Maybe one day you’ll read all about my current life challenges… in my novel.
Thanks for all your comments and kind words.
Live well. Write often.
See you… sometime.

There’s a time for everything. Even roaring silence.
Roaring silence from a friend is better than idle chatter from a pest.
So, quiet is a good thing.

But, but, but . . .
I only just found this place!
And it’s so good.

Stephen, I really hope you can get on top of whatever is presently demanding your attention. Sometimes, life sucks. Wishing you the very best of luck.

Well, I hope you can get things worked out. And finish your novel too. I hope to read it someday.
I’ll miss the contests though.

As long as you keep tweeting… I miss you when you don’t tweet. <3

I hope all is well as you work through these things. I’ll miss your blog, but at least we still have you on Twitter 🙂
