It’s become clear to me that my constant thinking up of topics to put on the blog is unsustainable.
Lately I’ve been squeezing out a lot of posts. Several per day. And that in itself is, I hope, not a bad thing. The dialogue has been fascinating, and writing down thoughts has forced me to think in a more organized fashion.
However.
I am on a fixed allowance of time. Twenty-four hours per day. And to constantly think and read and read and think for hour after hour about the topics which I enjoy discussing on the blog seriously cuts into the amount of time I have for other things. Like study. Like hanging out with people. Like sleep.
Especially with study. Although I think I’ll turn out with good grades in my classes at the end of this quarter, I would have liked to have spent more time on them and less in the whole blogging process, now that I look back on the quarter. And as my first Hebrew course will be coming up in a few short weeks as I begin the work for my Hebrew major which I hope will help me to get more of an inside look at the Hebrew OT, Ancient Near Eastern History, etc. ; I don’t want to look back at the end of those 3 1/3 years of Hebrew study and wonder where the time went.
Because this Hebrew thing, I want this.
What this means is that the blogging is going to take a back seat. What that means I do not know exactly at the moment (and at this moment is 3:36 AM). Perhaps it will mean 1 post a week, perhaps less, perhaps more. But there will be no mistaking the fact that posts here are going to be less frequent. I’ll still try to keep up with comments and emails, but I’m cutting off my RSS feed so I’ll no longer be keeping track of everyone else’s posts unless someone notifies me personally about a specific post they’d like me to look at.
So I’m retiring from the enjoyable but distracting world of biblioblogging. I still intend to show up and do a little volunteer work off and on, but don’t expect the sort of constant posting on a variety of topics to come back, at least for a while.
ta ta for now
