Hiatus

Dear Readers,

I have a few story ideas percolating around in my head. Unfortunately, every time I resolve to get them out of my head, I'm almost instantly distracted by all manner of possible Internet diversions.
Don't write that down...you could fire off a blog entry, hell, even two, in half the time it'll take you to dig that story out of your cranium. Then you'll feel like you've accomplished something today.
Go play Peggle instead...you've only got two levels left before you're a Grand Master, after all.
Look at that blogroll. I wonder who wrote what today.

So I'm going to try something radical, at least by my standards. I'm not going to blog for the next month. I know myself well enough to go I can't go cold turkey, at least not without really irritating my wife. Accordingly, I've decided on a couple of rules.

1) I can still read other people's blog entries, but will refrain from commenting on same. Reason being those comments often turn into their own blog entries, and I'd rather keep my mind focused if at all possible.
2) In the event of anything sufficiently serious occurring--by which I mean the sort of thing that makes front page news worldwide--I hereby release myself from all blogging constraints.

If I ever want to get something even a little closer to publication, I'm going to have to learn to devote some time to the process.

I'll miss you, folks. But I'm doing this for my own good.
