Coming To An End
Parting is such sweet sorrow. But just moving house is always an adventure and consequently lots of fun.
As regular visitors to this blog will have noticed, it's not really had much work done on it for a year now. There have been comments from friends to try and urge me to 'get on with it', as well as some very flattering praise from those of you who appreciate my writing style and perception of things. But alas, my focus has been elsewhere and after a year with no updates I've decided the ramblings of this particular Yorkshireman must now come to an end.
This is the last post I shall ever make to this blog, and at the end of the month will be deleting the account - thereby consigning the data for these pages to that great big Recycle Bin in the sky. However, before any of you start sobbing into your coffee there is some good news. I'm not disappearing completely - I'm simply moving elsewhere. That's right, I do have somewhere else I call home on 'teh interwebs'.
Okay, so anyone who knows me personally will already know that I have a number of online portals, blogs and journals that I keep accounts on. This is mainly because I have the attention span of a gnat and get bored of new shiny things easily, so instead of concentrating on one thing (such as this blog), I've been flitting from site to site like a horny rabbit in a warren full of fertile females. Leaving little bits of me all over the internet for people to stumble across by accident. For example: A Voice In The Crowd, my LiveJournal space. Then there's Flickr, a small collection of pictures of my snakes. There are others, and I'll spare you the horror of listing them all. There's just too many of them.
It's time for a change. Throughout the last three years I've thrown a lot of attention into the behemoth that Fallen Skies is rapidly becoming. One of the things I've been wanting to do with that is an online reference, an official canon-only site for the series as it grows. This desire has been bolstered by the positive feedback I've been getting from people who've read the book, so I've decided it's time to do something about it.
So, effective immediately, all of my other online journals (with the exception of maybe one) will be abandoned to their fate and, where possible, deleted entirely, to be replaced by the all-new, singing, dancing extravaganza that is The Official Fallen Skies Wiki.
Some of the better posts from this blog will be transferred there (under the Author section) so if you have any favourites that you'd like to see moved please let me know. I'll also be transferring the original fiction from the LiveJournal site, as well as some of the short stories that I have scattered around the net. I'm finally consolidating my web-presence.
And so it is that for the last time ever from these pages that I bid you a fond adieu. Take care Sleepsville, and enjoy the silence. If you ever get lonely, you know where to find me.
Signing out.
