Because I'm a narcissist...

It's no secret: the reason this blog exists is so I have a place to go on the internet that talks about the sort of things I find interesting. Thus, tonight I took an hour's break from real work to read through the archives a bit, and you know what? I miss the way the blog used to be. About a year ago there was a long discussion here about whether writers ought to aim for the mainstream or not, and it was full of interesting goodness. Nowadays, it feels like nothing happens here. It's my fault, of course — I write the damn thing — but my break from trying to write on different topics each week has slowed the fun down to a crawl. This is unfortunate, because in the past few months I've spread this blog's presence on the web even further, having it copy itself to Facebook, GoodReads, and LiveJournal. Now is the time to step up to the plate and be interesting, and yet all I'm doing is being lazy.

So, perhaps it's time for the more in-depth musings to return. It's something to think about, at least.

Does anyone out there have a preference?
