I know how boring it is when bloggers say: “Hello! I’m still here. I haven’t forgotten about you, I’m still updating this blog!” But I’m not.

If anyone is reading this on the feeds it means you are ultra-keen followers and I’d like to explain to you specifically why I’m no longer updating this blog.

Blogging makes me more self-absorbed than I’d like to be. I love having readers out there and enjoyed the thought of people waiting for an update on this blog the way I do with many excellent blogs.

What doesn’t sit right is when there are people I know in real life who are close to me and who read the blog and see it as an extension of my personality rather than a facet of it. It’s a level of scrutiny I’m increasingly incomfortable with and one that’s harder to justify.

Apologies to the genuinely lovely people out there I shared a lot with and felt a genuine and warm connection but my blogging days are stopping for the forseeable future. I want to keep sharing things and you can find those items here http://www.google.com/reader/shared/01352449298264101987
