The real phat bunny.

Just so people don’t get caught too off-guard or get horrendously confused, I figured I’d mention that I changed my Twitter account to @tim_lrr instead of thephatbunny.

Thing is, the phat bunny isn’t me–it’s my fat rabbit avatar. So it’s always been kind of weird to present “thephatbunny” as me.

Anyways, now you know. And knowing is Half the Battle.

I should do another Half the Battle blog post some time… Hmm.

So as you may have noticed, I haven’t exactly been showering you with content lately. I apologize for that, and I hope to get back to posting more things soon.

To be honest, I think lately I’ve just been a little burned out. I haven’t felt particularly motivated to write much, and I’ve been busy with a bunch of different errands and responsibilities. I’m just taking my time to recharge a bit, and hopefully before too long I’ll have some more creative energy back to devote to making videos and writing blogs or stories or poems or whatever.

Stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can still get a new story from me every day at www.FiftyWordStories.com.

Tomorrow I’m going to start a new series of blogs titled “Half the Battle,” in which I will inform you of the answers to some of the questions you’ve been trained not to ask. HtB will be kind of like the Big Ponder videos I’ve done, but more informative, more detailed, and more useful.

The premise of the series is this:

The world is a complex place, with many mysterious and hidden dangers that the Powers That Be would prefer you didn’t know about. Ignorance is bliss, but knowing is Half the Battle!

If you have any topics you’d like me to cover in an HtB article, leave a comment or send me an email.

On Sunday I converted this site from a custom-built PHP-based Content Management System (CMS), which I coded myself, to a self-hosted WordPress installation. As I’ve mentioned, the current “design” for the site is temporary (which is why I’m using the “in Exile” subtitle in the header). Some time in the (hopefully) near future the site will receive a professional makeover with a custom theme, but for now it’s going to look pretty much like this.

With the change, several different areas of the site were affected. Here are some of the things that were lost, and some of the things that were gained: Read the rest of this entry…

I’ve taken down some of my fiction–most notably, the Wesley Chesterson and O Man sections, as well as a short story or two–while I figure out what I want to do with it. I’ve been thinking about strange things like “My Audience” and “What People Are Interested in Reading”, and while I’m in the process of mulling over those things I’m going to narrow the scope of the content on the site a little.

Some of the fiction I’ve hidden away may resurface at some point. Whether that’s on TPB or somewhere else remains to be seen.

If you really, REALLY want to read some Wesley Chesterson in the meantime, leave a comment or send me an email.
