Self Evaluation
[Soul-searching post edited and replaced with decision-making post.]
Alright, on this, the 15th of June, I’ve verified my desire to keep blogging. Thanks for the comments, Willem & Joe & d7.
I’ve also restored all of my previous posts. Though, I scrapped their previous categories and tags, and rebuilt those components from scratch. Because if I’m on board, I’m manic and obsessive.
I’m hoping to get back to what I’m good at: talking about communication and experience and what games mean to us.
Stay tuned, y’all. I’ll be writing more.

I appreciate your consistently thoughtful posts. Please keep blogging. It makes the world sunnier. I love the paradigm-crossing you do; I am waiting for your appreciative-inquiry based memoir story-game (or another exquisite corpse you create).

Don’t hide your previous posts. You never know when someone else will find an insight in something you yourself thought bland.
Another writer, Steve Hickey (who wrote _Left Coast_) is going through something similar and is trying to find a path. You might enjoy how he’s looking for direction here:

And good luck. I’ve enjoyed your writing. Particularly the stuff on story and community.

Yes, please don’t remove all the posts. You’ve written some fantastically inspiring and thoughtful posts. Not being able to refer to them or link other people to them would be a shame.
I understand not being comfortable with keeping material around that you’re unhappy with. I’ve written posts that I’m not sure I want around in the future. I do hope you reconsider though, for the sake of your readers past and future.
