Dear True Crime Weblog Readers,
In classical music, a "Grand Pause" is a particular type of pause within a musical selection. The length of a "G. P." is left to the discretion of the performer or conductor. The music will continue, but depending on the musician's sense of timing, you may think for a moment that everything has stopped.
This blog is going into "Grand Pause" mode. It will remain here, as is, and comments will be monitored and moderated. After this post, though, there will only be one other entry made -- an announcement, of sorts -- and then there will be no new posts in The True Crime Weblog for quite some time to come.
The guys at CrimeRant.com, authors Gregg Olsen and M. William Phelps, recently retired from blogging. Not writing, just blogging. I'm not doing that. Not at all. I wish I could tell you what's up, but I'm saving that for the "one other" entry referenced above. Suffice it to say, I may just be doing the opposite of Gregg and Matt. I just won't be doing it here.
Only two of my own blogs will be updated regularly, even daily, after The True Crime Weblog is on long-term hiatus:
-- http://randomlunaticnews.com: My personal weblog. Nothing will change there. If you're one of the few people who read my writing even when it isn't crime-related, you can go there to see what's up. Don't look for any true crime-related posts, most of the time.
-- http://anomalyreport.com/: I only edit this site. It's based on user-submitted true stories of the supernatural and paranormal. Most of the time, it's very easy to run. Depending on the number of user submissions, it is updated daily or every other day.
I am sorry to be so cryptic, but that's the way it is, at the moment. The long and short of it is this: I'm not done with this true crime thing yet, not by a long shot. When it's time to talk about what I'm doing, you will be the first to know.
Stick with me. Hopefully, the best is yet to come.
Steve
p. s. -- I'll still be hanging around Michael Ian Black's blog and helping him with it whenever he needs. Seriously, if you need a break from true crime and just want a laugh, you need to go there.
EDITED TO ADD...
I don't know what I was thinking. In a sense, this blog won't go completely silent after all. I have a number of people lined up for guest posts. All of those will be published here once they've been received and edited. If you're one of those guest bloggers, don't worry -- you're still a go.
