Change

I have exported (to hard drive) all previous entries of this blog. There were several reasons for this.

First of all, I am getting close to self-publishing "Marsilani 4." I posted early versions of many of the stories and poems in this blog, and thought that I would be defeating the purpose of publishing them if they could be accessed by anyone in the blog format.

Second (and this has been an ongoing concern for me), the blog has become more well-known, despite my infrequent, awkward posts, and I think I may have posted several things that should not have been broadcast to the world. Don't get me wrong. I intend to continue to "write my mind" on this blog. However, I vow to be more careful and responsible about what I post, particularly when it may hurt other people's feelings or interests.

Finally, I simply wanted a change. A lot has happened recently, most significantly, the death of my Ewa Beach grandma. Such things have ramifications, and this "new start" for my blog is a reflection of this.

I hope that I continue to provide the people who read my blog with something significant, or interesting.
