“When you aim for perfection, you discover it’s a moving target.”
~George Fisher
I began this blog to chronicle a significant shift in my family’s biography. Daisy and I were determined to take our teaching online, and write the daylight away. This is an undertaking that has required both our full time commitment and every ounce of collective courage.
We have closed our preschool, and are now inhaling our few final weeks. Next year, we’re moving west. Well not really, we’re only a handful of blocks from the lip of the Pacific now, but I feel like we are in the 1800′s, when land was cheap to anyone willing to stake a claim and start construction.
Question: How much is a domain going for these days?
Answer: Two morning’s worth of Starbucks.
Writer Dad was a rough draft, rolling along with rhythm and regularity for the last four months, but it is now ready for its first revision.
Writer Dad has been a marvelous stage to step upon; a podium for any thought I was willing to balloon into five-hundred words or so. Behind the curtain, it has always been about my family; the legacy I leave and the stories I wish to pass. Writer Dad focuses on fatherhood with well written tales about those things that orbit my existence, and that is what Writer Dad will continue to be.
Not having a niche is nice, and I have enjoyed it immeasurably, but it is now time to not have a niche in more than one place.
In early 2009, the first of several new stages will be set, and I will spread my voice to another venue. Writer Dad will continue to do what it has always done, only better from the benefit of extra breath. Writer Dad will leave the desk in favor of a favorite chair. I will post only when I have something to say, probably around three times a week. I plan to do a lot more with a little less, and though I still have plenty of things to chat about that have nothing to do with fatherhood, come January, I will share them elsewhere.
For December, things won’t be too different. I look forward to sharing a few special announcements and giving you the best of the rest of the same. The Bloggers I Heart will return at the end of the month to tell us what the holidays mean to them, and I’m trying hard to line up a guest post from Santa, but his internet has been all wonky and we can’t seem to keep our ichat connection (yes, Santa uses a Mac). I am working on it though.
