Taking a Break (and Breaking Apart)

Loyal readers might notice that a very large subset of information on this blog is gone. Poof! 

Yep, I split the old blog up. There is now a NEW blog on just adult education posts and self-authorship journal entries. Why? Well, it’s a bit of mix isn’t it? I started posting on adult ed stuff here just so I had some place to put all the junk I was writing. Now that I’m done with my dissertation, I think it deserves it’s own place. So there ya have it. Wander over to the new blog if you like the adult ed posts. This one will go back to just writing and reading nonsense. - this is the “break apart” aspect of the title. 

What about the taking a break aspect? 

So, I finished Wool and wow was I unimpressed. I remember the first time I read it I was so impressed. Now, . . . Bleh. It’s just poorly written. It’s a great concept, but I couldn’t get through the final few chapters. Skipped right on by em. Life is too short for bad books. 

It’s still a seminal book. Why? Well, it was the first major self publication on Kindle I believe. The first Kindle only hit. It has it’s moments, and it’s an amazing concept. Great res presentation of post-apocalyptic future writing. 

But now, I’m smoked. Maybe it’s because I just finished 4 years of work and I’m feeling down, a bit lost, a bit without purpose. Maybe it’s the bad writing in Wool. Maybe it’s that I’ve started on my novel again. Could be anything. But next on the list is Dick Francis and I can’t seem to find it in me to get going. I betcha that lasts less than a day. 

Again, go find the new blog! Learn about adult education and self-authorship.
