Posting resumes

My hat is off to the many tireless writers who carried on posting straight through the holidays: you may all be a little bit out of your minds, but I’m certainly impressed, and grateful for your efforts. It was nice to know that I could count on several of my favourite blogs to give me something good to read at every point in the holidays, instead of degenerating into seasonal fluff for two weeks the way traditional media seems to.

Of course, I didn’t stop writing either … just posting. I estimate that I produced roughly 10,000 fresh words over the holidays, plus about 40 new records for the bibliography (along with the tech upgrades just announced), most of which I will be rolling out over the next couple weeks even as I press on with several other current projects. Yep, that was sure a nice “holiday”!
