These days I’m mostly thinking about… breakfast.
I’m not here as much these days, partly because as a result of this blog I ended up getting a job writing and editing a monthly newsletter about… writing. It’s less ranty, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You can read the current issue here, and there’s a sign-up form on the same page – it’s free.
I’ve also started another blogging project, which I’m really enjoying. It’s called Breakfast Matters. I’m meeting Brighton folk for breakfast, interviewing them, and then writing about it. Just normal people. If you’d like to come and have a look, I’d be delighted to have you.
Oh what a shame. I’ve been pointing my sub-editing students here for the last couple of years. Thanks for the entertainment!

Thank you, and thanks for all your comments. I have a feeling I’ll be back.

Aw. I’m sorry to see this announcement too. I can’t imagine you’ve run out of things to say about subbing, but a break is a good idea if inspiration or motivation to post have been low. Certainly it wouldn’t do to force it, and as you say, you have another blog to attend to, so hooray for that!
There’s always the option of broadening the subject matter (e.g., to words or language or news more generally), but maybe that’s something to consider after more time has passed, if you take a notion to update this site again.

Thanks Stan, that’s very kind of you and it means a lot. I guess I do still write about language and words, but it all goes into my job at Emphasis. That takes up so much of my energy and ideas that I rarely have any left over for fun these days, sadly. So… this blog is a victim of its own success, in a way. Actually, I’ll add a line to my post above to say that I’m still writing (if less rantily) there.
