2013 has seen 101 new posts on this blog and one large blogging project—40 Days of Exoduses. While this might suggest a bumper year, my output since Easter has been quite underwhelming. Other study commitments, my common preference for commenting on other people’s blogs rather than writing my own posts, several large mothballed projects (one of 30,000+ words), and my desire to focus more upon reading and other activities during my free time have all resulted in a precipitous drop in the amount of original material posted here. Posting is unlikely to pick up any time soon.
