I've done a lot of things I've regretted over the years.
Everyone has, of course, but it's a lot easier on people of my generation (and older) where our mistakes disappeared into time's all-consuming maw. Now, our every mistake is recorded on the internet for posterity to condemn.
Usually, I'm in favor of condemning past actions, but looking back at these posts...
Some of them I'm proud of.
Some of them people will misconstrue as bigoted.
And some of them are just plain embarrassing.
I was going back and putting apologetic notes on the posts I found problematic, but I finally realized that was pointless. A lot of them are problematic.
So, I'm taking the whole thing down. Maybe I'll re-release them after a time with some editing.
But probably not.
Thanks to all both of my fans (Hi Mom!) for being supportive.

It's Been Fun
Just kidding, it hasn't been.
I've been working on this blog for eleven years. It became a mission for me to force myself to write regularly, and for a while it helped me a lot. I posted my novels as I wrote them. I got to experiment with different types of written humor. I complained.
I complained a lot.
I felt pretty good about myself when I wrote here. No matter what I did during the week, no matter how much I procrastinated, at the very least, I wrote a blog entry. For a few years, I even posted every day.
Over time it became a burden. "Crap, I have to do the blog" was something I'd say almost every week. A few weeks ago, I decided I didn't have time; the blog just wasn't important.
They probably heard my sigh of relief in China.
So, thanks to all both my readers (Hi, Mom!), but this is where I stop.
Thanks for paying attention.
The End
