Writing really is like speaking a language or competing in a sport.  If you don’t use it, you lose it.  The creativity can atrophy and twist upon itself with disuse.  I’m battling that, stretching the limb, working the muscle, practicing the art.  I have a paper journal that is seeing some regular use, as well as several blogs scattered throughout this great network of tubes.  I’ve also been shown 750words.com, which I’ve spent a little bit of time on.  Go ahead, give it a look.  It won’t bite. :)

Me, I’m going to see how it works out.  The more often I can get the words out of my head, the better.

I checked back at Amazon.com today, and the sale is even bigger!  69% off!  http://amzn.com/1411611748

Strolling around Amazon.com brought me a nice surprise today.  They’ve got The Remembrance on sale at 66% off!  If price has been a factor, or has even been prohibitive, head on over there and snag a copy today!

Anything different around here?  Well, I hope not.  Though the last month or so have seen some major changes on the back end of the site.

We’re no longer hosted by LiquidWeb.  Still being part of Michigan’s unemployed has brought monthly bills to the forefront.  So, we’re now with a small, local start-up company called VPS4ALL.  (Full disclosure – I’m one of the people starting it up.)  Moving from a web-interface hosting solution to one that was command-line only really made me flex some geek muscles that had been out of practice.

All of the differences are behind the scenes, so to speak, in Linux Land, and I hope that it remains that way.  If you notice any strangeness with the way that the site behaves, let me know. :)
