I can't say I relate. A divorce was about the closest I've come to a short(er) burst of familial madness.

But I'm abundantly familiar with what might be called a "slow inner burn" along such lines.

But, then, who isn't? I mean, how could selves enamored of themselves to the point of "hell is other people" (Satre) bouncing off each other whilst pretending to communicate via words backed by private meanings possibly work?

Anyway... at the risk of seeming overly nosy, how come you've not shown up in the read.write.as feed in a while?

I'm writing on tmo.name now. It's a self-hosted blog on Ghost software. Write.as is ok, but I update(d) that shit too much, didn't like continually launching the editor, writing stuff, doing life stuff, going back to the editor, blah blah.

I plan on making a home "always on" writing setup using retro computer stuff (probably gutting an old laptop (90s era) and piecing together some sort of "retro" rig. Not even going to give it internet capabilities. Monochrome CRT monitor. Primitive as fxxx. :)

I'll still put stuff on tmo.name though. I'll always "blog" in some form or another. Write.as has probably had it's hey day, and whatever momentum it had at different times past to draw a critical mass to make the product successful has faded. It's grown to the extent that the ownership (we shall not name names) can/should hire people to keep the ball rolling, and I don't think that is going to happen. A thing I've talked about with Mike (which you may remember from W.a as "mpmilestogo" back in the day!) through e-mail about - W.a/WriteFreely has to have more people working on the service, and I don't see putting X amount of years into a blog that may have everything I've written "shut down" and inaccessible in time.

But tmo.name is still going. And more stuff will likely go on the retro rig I slap together.

Hope you're good, Inquiry :)
