Yes, content has fallen off the cliff here. Nobody reads blogs anymore anyway do they? My time is occupied by other things - my responsibilities have increased at work (but oddly my salary has not thanks to Corporate America's "you be grateful you still have a job" approach that does wonders for profits and stock prices and not much for the average working schmuck, but I digress). On the more interesting side of things I'm working on two projects, one is a short story that has a beginning and an end already but one event in the middle is a sticking point and the whole thing kinda hinges on that so it may fall apart. Then again, that thing is a Christmas-related story and since the holidays have passed I guess I have 11 months to finish it. Making up something from scratch is a much bigger pain in the ass than writing memoir-type stuff or slightly exaggerating and fictionalizing actual events I have witnessed which is why so many people only write base...
