I have been out of touch with the blog for quite some time. I have been so focused on other pursuits (especially newspaper reporting), that I have not had as much time to focus on game writing - or this blog - as I have in the past.
Oddly enough, the page views on this blog have nearly doubled since I slacked off more than usual. I think the message is clear - folks have been waiting for me to pipe down!
In the meantime, I think I will make the hiatus official. It is time to re-energize.
