I’ve recently been savaged by haters (okay, one of my friends commented over a beer) about the paucity of blog posts on this web site.
It’s simple. When I start writing, it usually turns out to be an article, or a chapter in an upcoming book. It’s very rare when I can keep the word count down enough to make it a blog post.
Besides, posting a chapter from the middle of a book is like inviting someone in during the middle of a conversation. I tend to “build” books and articles in a pyramidal fashion – laying all the ground work, explaining things, and then the stuff on top relies on the groundwork to support it, to make the information understandable. When the underpinnings aren’t there, everything falls apart.
I’ll try to do a better job going forward.
