THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

What on EARTH??

I just looked at the overall blog (I usually only see the new post). Why on God's green earth do you suppose there is an ad for christening and communion dresses?? What in the world did I say that would lead the Google algorithms to think that this blog has anything at all to do with anything of the sort? It was dumb enough when Google kept posting ads for Phoenix University ("Get a worthless degree online!"), but this passes all understanding.

    The ads seem to keep changing. Briefly there was one for an architecture degree; now it's back to ads for various online degrees. I think I may have to de-monetize this site: I certainly don't earn any money from it, and the ads are just stupid.

    I don't see any ads at all on your blog...or do I misunderstand?

    I removed them. I didn't really like the idea of having ads anyway, but if I had, say, thousands of readers (instead of six or seven), the idea was they might earn me a little cash. As it is, I'd prefer not to "monetize" this site, so gone they are (not to sound like Yoda).
