You find a little corner of the internet you like and six months later the asshole who runs it stops updating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could say that I&#39;ve got a grip of new content just sitting here ready to blast at you. I don&#39;t. That&#39;s the good news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is that I&#39;ve been writing everyday, it&#39;s just not ready for the world to see. I&#39;ve stopped fucking around with these short stories (which I was never very good at in the first place) and I&#39;m taking a run at writing my first novel. I wish I could say when I expect it to be done but I can&#39;t. Certainly by the first of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once it&#39;s ready for the world, I&#39;m going to be making a few changes around here. First there won&#39;t be a &#39;here&#39; anymore. I&#39;ll be relaunching this site under it&#39;s own domain (not creativitydies) and publishing through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rudiusmedia.com&quot;&gt;RudiusMedia&lt;/a&gt;. I&#39;m an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rudiusmedia.com/archives/entries/rudius_employee_bio_ben_corman.phtml&quot;&gt;editor&lt;/a&gt; there and soon I&#39;ll be writing under the Rudius banner as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://corman.rudiusmedia.com&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; over there where I sometimes write about the process of writing a novel as well as anything else that catches my interest. It&#39;s much more of a traditional blog than this ever was, but you might find it interesting. Go ahead and add it to your &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BenCormansBlog&quot;&gt;rss feed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, like so many other blogspot accounts have over the years, this one dies with barely a whimper. From it will rise something much better however.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://creativitydies.blogspot.com/feeds/801236148692591265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/20018602/801236148692591265' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20018602/posts/default/801236148692591265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20018602/posts/default/801236148692591265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://creativitydies.blogspot.com/2007/09/haitus.html' title='Haitus'/><author><name>Corman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16390909574575973437</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
