I have decided, after much deliberation, to make a series of drastic changes to my WordPress blog. The decisions I have made are from a purely professional outlook, and have nothing to do with ease of upkeep, time management, public reception, or content. Here is what’s going to happen:
1) I will no longer be posting “new” creative entries, unless they are of a highly first-draft nature.
2) Tonight I will begin to set much of the current content to a “private” personal setting—that is, content that I feel is further along in the revision process. (I do realize that a good deal of my entries are in fact first drafts, and those will remain available to the public.)
I have decided to do this for a number of reasons, most importantly because of issues I’ve come across with online copyright laws and “first internet use” rights while researching e-zine submissions. This is a very sad thing for me to do, but ultimately I feel it is the best decision.
If anyone is ever interested in reading anything I’m working on, please just let me know—I’d be happy to send you something. Some of my writing will also be available through David Clager’s online journal The Elements of Style ( http://eofs.org/ ). And cross-my-heart, hold-my-breath, hopefully someday via other media. Thanks, as always, for reading—
—Sarah
