Okay, so this has been coming. Obviously, just by my activity alone, it has been obvious that thefaithfulmind has been closed down for some time.
Part of the reason is that a lot of what I do is more personal stuff, like the book I’m writing. For the last couple months or so, I have been questioning the wisdom of posting progress of my novel on the internet. I think it also subtracted from the quality of what I was able to do because it became (in my mind) more of a public obligation than a private desire. When I started posting my progress online, that was the intention; I had hoped that, by making myself publically accountable, I would be able to force myself to work on it. Now, of course, I see that that doesn’t work with writing; it has to be something I want to do.
Anyway, I also post less often on my blog because a lot of what I do write now I put in a journal that I write, so that has become the place where I put all of my thoughts. Although I’m certain that there will be a place for thefaithfulmind in the future, there is no purpose for it now.
So, I’m going to be officially ceasing activity for a little while.
Have a great day!
