I find myself occupied in ways that (sometimes) don’t include updating my website. Which is not entirely true as I am constantly thinking about what to write here and according to Erin have only started more and more rather than stabilizing the length of what I am writing. Truth told, I am more into the essay than the short sub-300 word blog entry and as a result, the time involved in writing is pretty big compared to what other people may do. And, as I’ve stated before (though not necessarily on this blog) people should not try to write blogs the way I have chosen to write them mostly because, if you are using this medium as one for record keeping and sharing and to write because you write every day, then trying to write thousands of words rather than hundreds or dozens of words is pretty daunting. In short, write what interests you. Stop when you are done. And ignore what I am doing.

What am I doing?

Well, yesterday (or maybe the day before) I moved around some pages and made them sub-pages in the blog. Specifically, if you are interested in finding out why StandingWater Creations no longer exists as the domain and why you ended up here rather than there, I moved that description to http://www.johnhattaway.com/about/sw-c/. If you landed her because of In Order to Write and are wondering why I made that move, I moved that page (wink, wink) to http://www.johnhattaway.com/about/IOTW/. On top of both of those, I also added a contact me page at http://www.johnhattaway.com/about/contact/ where you can fill in some information, copy the CAPTCHA script, and send me an email without having to open anything more than this website.

What I am doing is working, mostly, on school and spending time with Erin and codename: CAMPER. On the school front, I have less than one month before we head east. That is becoming exciting and scary. Because it is one month left, I have a lot of work to finalize before the end of the semester to include a lot more reading and a lot of writing. As a result, when I sometimes sit down to write about Kung Fu Panda or All the Pretty Horses or Wall-E or a lot of other things I don’t finish those thoughts as a result of having more pressing things sitting on my mind. This afternoon/evening I get to write a proposal for a paper I still have to write, and I get to continue outlining a play, and I get to study for a test I get to take tomorrow. As a result, if you don’t hear from me for a couple of days at a time, don’t think I am suddenly following the pattern of most bloggers and deciding not to blog anymore, but that I am legitimatly busy and am working on what I need to be.
