After living through another
year of watching the blog change character and lose audience, I’ve come to the
conclusion that I will have to change my tactics or I will stop writing
altogether. With that in mind, I have
decided this: Since this is my blog and I want it to continue to be a place
that I come with the things I need to write about, I’m going to begin posting
more of the kinds of things that I used to think unworthy, and
frankly, BORING, to put out there for the eyes of the general public. I am in a dark-ish place right now, and my
personal writing is going to reflect that, and I know that people don’t really
want to read that kind of thing. But since
the “general public” is SO unlikely
ever to come here voluntarily, and even the “public” I used to write for mostly…doesn’t,
I can’t think that my personal posts will chase anyone (else) away.
I will, from time to time, compose
“op-ed” pieces on subjects of more general interest and post them here. And to those, I will post links on
Facebook. But these…others…will simply
appear, quietly, with no fanfare.
So as a general rule, if you
somehow receive notice that I have updated the blog, but haven’t seen a post on
Facebook about it, be warned that it will be a post of a personal, and likely
melancholy, nature. Stay away if you
have no appetite for that…
