I began this blog the last week of October 2008. I have to admit I’d forgotten how long it’d been. For the first year plus, I posted five times a week. I lowered the frequency to three times a week in 2010. Recently, I came to two conclusions:
- Occasionally, I used quotes that repeated a topic; but I was able to provide a different slant on how the idea presented related to my own writing. In recent posts, my comments have been repetitive of earlier posts, only the words used were different.
- I’ve received little feedback from my readers. Now that repetition has sneaked into my posts, I don’t know if what I’m writing is helpful, or interesting, or simply more Internet BS.
Many of my readers have stayed with me from the beginning, and I appreciate that. But, honestly, without feedback, I feel totally isolated. So, I’m going on hiatus with this blog. I don’t know for how long. It may be a few months. It may be forever. I will be posting over at
Flash Fiction Chronicles once or twice a month and occasionally on the
Apollo’s Lyre blog.
My Six Questions For. . . blog will continue for as long as editors agree to participate.
So, unless I get swamped with requests to continue, that’s it for QoW for now. I wish you all good writing and continued success.

I try to read this blog at least a couple times a week even though I don't always comment. Yes I do find your posts helpful. I wasn't aware you had other blogs so I will be heading over there as well :)
I read your blog on occasion, but knowing your talents far exceed mine, and also that your writing is far different from mine, I was overwhelmed by the feeling that I could never be a writer of your standard. I felt that yours was a teaching blog, and my readers already like my style of words...so I should not change. Yet your teaching made me wonder SHOULD I change some? And decided it is not in me. I do, however, wish you more success in whatever you do.
