After 23 consecutive installments, I've decided to take a break from Geek Guns over at Bleedingfool.com. The decision is based on a thinning of material to work with and also declining feedback. People used to comment on the articles and now they're not.
I'm not writing this stuff for my health, so I figure I'll take a break, recharge, and maybe write more later.
There's also a sense that in trying to sustain a weekly column, I'm siphoning off creative energy that could be used for bigger projects. When I was writing Long Live Death, I basically abandoned that site, and I started writing again only after the book was published.
So I'm going to take a break and see what happens. I've got some ideas for a book and I know I'm being horribly indecisive, vacillating back and forth between projects. My hope is that if I dam up the creative energy for a bit, it will cut a new channel and I can roll with the flood.
