Getting away

In a few days I’ll be heading the the Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway in Cape May, NJ to lead a workshop in creative nonfiction, so don’t expect too much from me the rest of the week.

You might have noticed that I’ve gotten away from straight-up gaming news stories in the past few weeks. For a while in December I stopped writing about gaming completely. Mostly it’s because I want to keep having fun doing this, and posting gaming news with instant analysis gets repetitive. Plus I’ve been getting so many calls asking for comment on various gaming stories that by the time I go to post something, I’ve said it so many times that it sounds trite and self-evident.

Also, there hasn’t been that much interesting gaming news that hasn’t already been covered elsewhere. So look for more book reviews and posts about stuff almost, but not entirely, unrelated to gaming (apologies to Douglas Adams for that last bit).

But I’ve been more active in posting on other people’s blogs about gaming stuff–I’m always getting a word in at Two Way Hard Three and I posted for the first time on Marginal Revolution today. And if you think there’s a gaming story that I should write about, send me a link and I’ll give it a shot.

I’m hoping to get more reviews done, too, because I’ve been reading some interesting stuff.
