To the Readers of This Blog,
After a considerable time of thought, I have come to the decision to discontinue posting on this blog.
It isn’t that I’ve run out of ideas by any means, rather, it is because my ideas are too time consuming, I believe, for me to continue writing at the pace and on the schedule that I have — more or less — been writing for the last eight years and change.
This time-consumption is not a negative, I don’t believe, but a positive, because the fact that I want to spend so much time developing my characters and enriching my worlds will assuredly only mean that the finished products will be rich with interest and intrigue for all — hopefully including you — who might someday read them.
However, this increase in time spent on the planning phase of my projects has had the negative effect of leaving me, with each successive project, less and less time between the beginning of the planning process and the date that I’d set to begin writing the manuscript, and although I did take two successive months off this summer in an effort to get ahead, the lead I gave myself has already almost completely evaporated, thus I am not ready to begin writing a manuscript tomorrow, and even have my doubts as to what state I’ll be in come January.
As a result, I’m inclined to reduce my writing frequency, which would, in turn, reduce my posting frequency, and I have no idea how often I might write manuscripts in the future either. Since I cannot guarantee when or how often I would write, I feel that the maintenance of this blog is pointless, as the purpose of a blog is to be posted on with some degree of regularity or consistency, neither of which, at this point, I can guarantee.
In closing, I would like to thank any of you who may’ve been regular readers of this blog for your interest in what I’ve had to share over these years, and I hope that you will someday have the privilege of reading the full and complete stories of which you’ve read early-draft excerpts.
Sincerely,
R.A. Millet
