Is Anybody Home? Or Did Y’all Just Move Without Telling Me?

I’ve been writing this blog for over a decade now, and I recently had a startling realization—I might be the only one reading it. If that’s the case, well… so what? At least I know my audience is loyal.


Still, in a moment of wild optimism, I put out a call for volunteers to take over the blog and the YouTube channel. Now, before you get too excited, the channel boasts a grand total of three videos—an empire in the making, clearly. As for the chapter newsletter? Let’s just say it’s been in a medically induced coma for a while.


So my question is: is anybody home? Or have you all collectively decided that keeping up with this stuff is like checking voicemail—technically possible, but not happening?


I get it. I moved 1,200 miles away, and now my main source of news is the monthly website update. And let me tell you, that thing is as fresh as a three-day-old bagel. I half expect to read breaking news about the invention of the lightbulb.


What’s going on? COVID has left the building! The world is back to normal, yet somehow, the newsletter, the blog, and the channel are all stuck in 2020. Have we just agreed that updating things is overrated? Are we all pretending we’re too busy while secretly binge-watching old sitcoms?


If you’re out there, drop me a sign. A comment, an email, even a smoke signal. Otherwise, I’ll just keep writing to my most dedicated reader—myself.


What do you think?
