Stepping outside for a smoke

or those of you who frequent this blog, this is just a little note to let you know that I’m stepping out for a smoke. Many of you know that I write professionally and that I have another book in the works. For some time, I’ve felt that I’ll likely never finish the book so long as my creative Jones is being satisfied by this blog. So, I’m putting the blog on hiatus for the next three months. I won’t be adding any new posts or responding to comments during that time. If you urgently need to reach me, use the email link at the right. I’ll try to hook back up with you around December 15th.

For those who visit this page via your web browser, I highly suggest you get yourself an RSS reader and subscribe to the blog instead. That way, you’ll get a notification when I start posting again. IE and Firefox both feature RSS subscriptions, as does Google’s personal homepage, iGoogle. Nearly all blogs provide RSS feeds, and you can subscribe to them rather than manually visiting them via your browser. If you’d prefer a standalone RSS reader, I recommend RSS Bandit. It’s the one I use. Alternatively, subscribe to my mailing list via the link on the right, and I’ll send out a note when I come back.

Sorry to run out on you, but this book will be my ninth and needs my full attention. I’ve enjoyed our exchanges and will come back as soon as I can. Wish me luck, and I’ll catch up with you down the road.
