Digital Presence

Rather foolishly, I expected to be able to continue near-daily postings after my release. It has never happened; life has a nasty habit of getting in the way and my first year has been...emotional.

And I cannot deny that I have become rather taken with Twitter. But in fairness, the blog was always the core of everything and I must apologise for ignoring you guy's far too much for far too long. Whilst Twitter is excellent for many ways of communicating, it's limitations mean that I have more than once found myself embroiled in bitter arguments that were always too subtle to deal with except in a more measured, lengthy piece.

You can expect to see me back here far more often from  now, and I thank you all for your patience.

  1. The adjustment has probably been harder than you anticipated, but that's normal. I imagine most people are fine with once a week or so. And subscribing to a blog means that no matter how long between posts, there's no need to miss one. And, believe it or not, there are a lot of people who don't use Twitter at all. I'm one of them.

  2. You're entitled to a certain amount of adjusting. (Though I will be pleased to see you on the blog more often)

  3. Great - I was beginning to think you had forgotten us lot! Look forward to more blogs here and like Catana above I do not use Twitter.

    Hope you are feeling good.
