No More Bookosphere
With Gustav safely behind us I’m happy to report that as of today I’m returning to a regular work schedule. There’s one thing, though: I won’t be bringing back the Bookosphere. Why? Because I’ve only got so many
hours in my day, and my Bookosphere posts take too many of those precious hours to put together. I know that you enjoy them, but with my publicity work, my day job and trying to spend time with friends and family between, I just don’t have the time.
It might return if I ever get to a point where I’m freelancing full time, but for now, I’m at my limits and something has to give.
Hey, where’s my Bookosphere?
"Angy Mumma" from www.toastmonster.com
There’s a hurricane heading toward my part of the country, and my day job requires that I respond to it. So until Hurricane Gustav and any mess associated with it is over I’m going to be working. A lot. Like, weekends and stuff. So any time I do get away from the office I’ll be devoting to my wife, my publicity clients and whatever blogging I can squeeze in here and there. While it’s likely I’ll keep posting daily, the Bookosphere posts are just far too labor-intensive for now. They’ll be back when all of this is over with. That is, unless some great internet patron comes forward and relieves me of my life of day job drudgery. Any takers?
