A Promise to the Readers

I've made a decision; I'm going to have to post more non-writing pieces. I haven't done much lately, since I have a temporary job that I legally have to stay quiet about. I can't go into the details of Census work, and that's about all I have to say about that. Unfortunately, it's a standard blog trope to fuss about one's workplace, and I can't do that - though, if I could, there are 50,000 words I could easily do.

Furthermore, I always want to give the readers a little something-something for their time and effort for coming here. It annoys me to go to someone else's blog and find a line: "Wow, it was raining today. I don't feel like writing." I hate that. I want to say something, even if it is pointless and/or meaningless to anyone but me.

I've got so I Tweet my short lines, and I haven't had time - or the legal freedom - to put out the longer pieces. Add to that the fact that I've been doing a lot of writing and rewriting, and hopefully you'll understand why there has been a bunch of new fiction. But, I'm sorry to say, there's not been much...you know...blogwork.

This is on me; I own the problem. I promise to try to do better. Yes, that's the Bart Simpson hedge, but it's all I got right now. I promise to try to do better. Don't expect that this will become a daily post. The very thought makes me laugh - pshaw. No, it won't be that, but I'll try to post some random-like thoughts a few times a week.

But listen! If you've got any suggestions, let me know, dammit! I like hearing from y'all, and I like knowing that lots of you are reading - even if I don't know you and don't even know who you are. Log in, leave a comment here if you want. Introduce yourselves around; there's good folks here.

The biggest problem is that lazy son-of-a-gun writing these things, and I hear tell he promises to try to do a better job.
