[T]ypos will lurk and creep and scuttle on the edges of the text and, despite my best efforts, jump out and wave furiously at everyone as soon as I’m done…

from Neil Gaiman’s Journal.

You know, I should start a “quotes” miniblog or something.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about what to write. I have the ideas, just not the time to bring them to fruition. Sorry ’bout that. You’ll have something new this week, I promise, even if it’s just a link post. (By the way, click here for good reading.)

Just a couple of notes for you who read this. In short, RSS feeds now feature full blog posts instead of snippets; those of you visiting the site can now see a few recommended posts from across the web, thanks to a Google Reader widget on the sidebar, and 9Rules Round 6 starts May 7 at 12:00 AM EST. (If you’re a blogger, this should be of interest.)

Update: Time’s up on the 9Rules submissions. If you submitted, good luck.

Here’s a question for readers. Why are you reading this right now? Seriously, I’d like to know. What brought you here? Why do you check the site (or have it in your RSS reader)? What kind of content do you expect, or do you simply enjoy whatever’s “good”, regardless of the topic? (Edit: Conversely, what do you hate? That’s usually the first thing I ask a person critiquing one of my stories, and something I openly ask you.) Most importantly, in your opinion, how could I improve?

Just a heads up. Seems like a problem with the site, so I’m taking care of a number of things. If things seem weird for the next — oh, week or so — I beg your pardon.

Just as a heads up: I’m out to Puerto Rico tonight, so no updates for the next week. In addition to the recent slowdown in updates, I guess that means I’m in full hiatus mode. It’s fine I should be there, however: I’ve been drained as of late, and ideas seem not to come to me, but rather to swoosh by during inopportune times, just to taunt me with the shadow of their existence once I finally get to writing. I need a break.

I probably won’t have any internet access over the next week, so if you need to reach me and don’t have my phone number, you’re out of luck. Heck, even if you do have my phone number you’re probably still out of luck.

I’ll be back next week, refreshed and, hopefully, once again ready to tell tales. But for now, to put it simply, I’m spent.
