This blog has been going for what? Eleven or twelve years, I think. Every week. Oh, well, sometimes I run an old post, but I have written well over 500 posts, I would suspect.
So I am pretty much out of ideas as far as grammar goes. I have covered everything at least once in my posts, maybe except for some esoteric grammar issues that even I don’t know about. I have been thinking for a while of what to do. Should I do a monthly post? Should I do more of a monthly newsletter with some links and a variety of things? Should I expand to include other topics? Should I have more guest posts? Should I just bag it? It has become stressful for me to think of topics. So here is my current thinking.
- If you would like to write a guest article (about anything you think would interest readers – as long as I approve it – whatever is on your mind or in your realm of interest), please let me know. They are always welcome. Put your idea in the comments, or better yet, email me through the website inquiry or at bigwords101@yahoo.com.
- If you have ideas for posts I could write — about grammar, words, language, or anything else, please let me know!
- I will expand my topics to include, well, whatever I want to write about. In the past whenever I have put anything controversial in a post (mainly a political thought), a few people would tell me to “stick to grammar.” My response is,”It’s my blog.” I am interested in grammar and words and books — and also coffee and music and politics and manifesting and songwriting.
This week, I am still not myself. Most of you are likely in the United States, but I know some of you are abroad. I am horrified at what my country is doing and headed for. I volunteer for Democrats and belong to some Democratic organizations. It has been very difficult for my friends and me to deal with this. It is embarrassing. I don’t feel ready to do a strictly political post at this time, and maybe I never will. Right after the election, I said I was done with politics, and the only way to deal with things was to become apolitical and let the younger generation take over the fight because I am tired. However, I realized I still had strong opinions and ideas, and I post them on social media. I have stopped watching most mainstream media though. They are normalizing a ridiculous situation still.
So, that is my post. I needed to get it done because I need a new computer very badly (I am working on an early 2015 MacAir), and I may be without one for a day or two as I switch all my stuff over. If you disagree with my opinions, that is fine, but I needed to say, at least briefly, how I felt.
And the blog will continue….
