Some people might have caught the site at an odd time within the last couple days. There are going to be some changes around here over the next few weeks. Right now, I'm announcing two.

First of all, for the astute observer, this is not being posted by R. Alex Whitlock, which is me, but by my Lovely Assistant Poster Girl [wave for the camera, sweetie]. I am heading out of town next week for a trip to Florida where I will have no access to the Internet. Rather than lose what I'm sure are a million zillion die-hard-except-if-you-don't-post-for-a-week fans, I've made alternative arrangements. I've written a few time-unspecific posts on subjects I couldn't articulate my thoughts on quickly enough for it to be relevent, and you'll be seeing those next week. I'll also post some links to previous stuff that I have written that I think is interesting or newsworthy. In any case, with any luck and the due dilligence of LAPG, I can keep you coming back at least a little so I won't be back down to eight readers when I install the hit-counter next week. Of course, any deviance from my expected million zillion readers will be rationalized explained by my vacation.

The other news is that I have thrown my lot in with Blogspot. I considered moving over to Moveable Type and doing what everyone else does like the lemming that I am, but at this time it simply doesn't make sense for me to do that. My first writing priority is and will always be my novel (until it's done), and one way to remember that and keep myself from getting too wrapped up into it is to accept Blogspot's limitations. I'm a perfectionist by nature, and as long as I'm on Blogspot, it'll never be perfect.. or close.

My reward for subscribing to Blogger Pro has been the loss of several old posts. I've contacted them about it but have not yet heard back.
