TRIAL RUN

I'm going to try something different with the new blog. No need to be afeared. If it doesn't work, we can always change it later. Rather than explain it upfront, I'll just do it and see how I like it.

But first a quote from Flannery O'Connor:

"The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where human perception begins. He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal to the senses with abstractions."

Not a bad philosophy to write by.

BYE-BYE BLOG

* 684 blog posts
* Over 3 years of writings
* Cruel and unjust self-inflicted punishment
* Endless analysis and meaningless drivel
* A (now-closed) chapter in my life

The above bullet points all describe one thing: the blog formerly known as "My Name is Phineas McWhimsey".

I think it is finally time to move on. It is finally time to allow for fresh beginnings in California. It is finally time to encourage the new to replace the old.

Thank you for following me through a very weird period of my life. I hope to have many more.
