ANOTHER NOTE BEFORE RETURNING TO THE DISCUSSION

I have not posted any new Blog entries for about two months.  I did this, first, because I ran out of text and did not have the time to write while earning a living.  Second, because I was not sure who was out there and to whom I was writing.  Third, I was also about to discuss statistics, a task that I found particularly challenging because I was having difficulty expressing my thoughts in a way that made sense while being both interesting and entertaining.  Fourth, I was hoping to find a web designer to change the presentation to conform to my ideas about the web, i.e., that it is theater.

 

“Well, young man,” I says to myself, “What have you done with your time?”  The answer, dear reader in cyberspace, is that I did not find a designer.  Strangely, no designer responded positively to my queries, if they responded at all.  I did sign up for a class to learn how to design my own website, but something came up in the meantime.  I received an email from Amazon.com inviting me to enter their Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.  Either in a bout of madness or in a moment of inspiration or both, I was able to get a clear view of how to solve some problems with my only manuscript and the race was on.  Between working and preparing my manuscript, I had neither time for my XHTML class nor to write any new Blog entries.

 

The contest deadline is past.  My novel, NORTH HALL, has been submitted.  Those of you who enjoyed my short story, The Grand Inquisitor Revisited, which I posted on this site, may wish to have a look at my contest submission on Amazon.com if and when it is made available.

 

Regarding new blog entries, I have decided to carry my argument a little farther even without any assistance from a web designer and even though I still have no idea who is out there reading if anyone at all.  I will not be doing this for personal therapy.  I will be doing it for… just because.

 

If you read to this point, you must have found something of interest.  That being the case, you may wish to stay tuned.
