Life is churning along pleasantly enough, but I don't feel I pay enough attention to my web site, which in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like for it to be worked on more frequently from time to time. And who's working on it? Well, just little ol' me! So what can I do about? Well, hopefully, just this: pushing out an update.
The fact of the matter is that it's very much on my mind — a lot — and I do have plans for it — many — but... Well, no buts. I'm busy, yes, and I do have limited spare time, yes, but I also prioritize my dwindling free time on Other Things (TM), and some of those Other Things are not so important that they can't be dispensed with or cut down on to make way for more energy spent on the site.
Another thing that's bugging me regarding this personal decades-long project of mine is, well, I'm no longer too sure what I want this site to be, what I want to showcase, what I want to revise, etc. Suffice it to say that I'm very much thinking about it.
So is this just another post saying "I'm still alive?" In a way, yes. I don't have anything particularly new to write about, or showcase, or anything like that. Speaking of which, that's another thing: Do I want my news posts to just be status updates? Not really. I would really like to get back into a writing groove, a reading groove, which I'm not really in at the moment. I think I can use my website much more as a creative playground. I'd like that.
I do (very) occasionally get feedback on my web site in the form of E-mails, and I love that, because they're usually in the form of a thank-you note, and that pushes me on! So if you're reading this right now and thinking of shooting some text my way, hey, go for it! I'm not exactly inundated with E-mails (except junk and newsletters), so feel free!
Hopefully, the next update will see some new work on the Books page! Here's hoping.
