I have good news and bad news. The bad news is there will
no new blog posts for a while in Ake’s Pains.
The good news is I am doing this so I can finish the manuscript for my
second book “Will There Be Free Appetizers?”
You might remember I tried to write shorter, rougher, posts
while completing
the manuscript for “Just Make Me A Sammich. The plan was for
me to be able to keep posting while spending less time writing, so I could
focus more on the book. That plan failed
miserably, I ended up actually writing more under the new format.
Sammich tastes so good! |
So this time, I will stop blogging temporarily. I am quitting cold-turkey. I am going
“blog-dark”. This will be a traumatic transition for me. I have been writing this blog regularly since
May 2011. A large part of my identity is
that of a blogger and bloggers gotta blog!
I’m sure I will suffer intense blog withdrawal. I will see something, or
read something, or have some weird experience and think, “I’ve got to blog
about this!”. I will then curl up in the
fetal position and watch old episodes of “South Park” until the feeling
subsides.
I do not know how long it be before I post again. I would estimate a break of three or four months. However, I will make two
exceptions during this “dark time”.
There are two events that could happen during this period which are so
significant, I would need write posts. One involves a possible wedding and the other
a possible death. How about that for a wide range of subjects?
I want to thank everyone who bought Just Make Me A
Sammich. It’s difficult for me to express
just how much you are appreciated. I
hope for and am asking for everyone’s support when “Will There Be Free
Appetizers?” is released. That release
date, depends on how productive I am in the next few months, which is why I
need to go “blog dark”, so I am signing off for now.
Goodbye, until I’m back.
You’re
still at the keyboard, aren’t you?
Yeah, cause I might come up with a great blog idea or a
witty comment ….
Step
away from the keyboard, now!
I will, just give me a moment, oh I just thought of
something else …..
I’m
pushing the power button and shutting you down.
No, no, no. Just got this great, funny idea. It’s so funny.
