The time has come, and I'm done with blogging.

I've thought it over, and I don't think I'm interested in blogging anymore. I'll continue to do some photography, so I may do photoblogs on occasion here. Other than that, no more blogging for me. Thanks for reading and commenting.

It isn't for everybody, this blogging thing. I'll look forward to seeing your photographs.

Thanks, everyone.

There are a lot of reasons, but as I naturally shifted away from blogging--as you can see by how little of it I've done recently--I felt that if I wasn't going to blog I should let people know.

wickedpinto: I'm actually not a very opinionated person, at least when it comes to the topics people generally blog about. I'm really more of an artistic person, and I think that blogging takes my energy as a writer and puts it into a format that isn't what I care about.

Maxine: This is the notice. Hopefully, you'll read/see more from me, but it won't be in blog form.

John:
How about "unblogosphere"?

This makes me a little sad. I hope you change your mind some day and resume blogging. I've enjoyed your youthful, eclectic blog.

Aw, well, I'll miss your blog! Look forward to seeing where else your artistic energy is directed!

What is this "requisite chunk of my life" business?

Chunk of life?

I thought a blog could be anything.

A blog could be one word.

You could actually challenge yourself to simply write one word for 365 days.

A new word each day, and nothing else.

I'm sure someone's already doing that, but still...

That'd be interesting!

How much time does that take?

Your blog is your legacy, and whether you write 1000 words per day, or 1 word....it's good to leave something behind for the historical record.

One's art isn't always a legacy in the same way a blog is.

Peace, Maxine

Chris, I'll miss your blog too. It's quite thoughtful, smart, creative, funny and artistic. And, like another commenter noted, I too welcome the youthful perspective you share with your readers.

Good luck with your other writing projects, but don't let them interfere with the time you spend living.

Christopher,

This was an excellent fix for a native Austinite who has found himself in New York City for grad school. I miss home so much! You're blog was truly a slice of Austin for me.

I can understand your reasons for taking a break. You have every reason, however, to reconsider some time in the realm of blogging.

Thanks!

Christopher

Other than $$$$$$, and lots of it--

What do you think it would take to get you to start blogging again?

Peace, Maxine

Chris, I'm not sure if you will read this -- I'm writing after I deleted those posts on "Althouse" on 14 May.

Just to let you know that it's best to move away from the topic, because it was truly a bad judgement call on my part, and I hope, uncharacteristic of me.

Thanks for your understanding, and I do hope you see this (perhaps you have comments set to receive).

Cheers,
Victoria
