You bring up some really brilliant and poignant points, Ruth! Most of my creative energy IS being poured into HardFork right now and it is so amazingly rewarding and fun but there isn't that immediate feedback loop with the project like there is with blogging. This series is going to be beyond epic when it's released so I just have to defer gratification, keep my head down and "keep on keeping on." I wouldn't want to trade this HardFork project for anything else.

I like your maxim about the platform and I've had an amazing time seeing you blossom on here. I was just sharing that thought with Johanna the other day.

I've taken breaks before but always have this nagging feeling that I need to write my next post. As one who definitely listens to his nagging voices I'll keep blogging until that voice stops prodding me forward.

Thanks so much for that wonderful support and friendship! You have mine as well!
