Opening up

*YAWN!* (Scratch, scratch, scratch) What year is it?

I’ve been…busy?

Ever since I had kids and moved five minutes away from work, I’ve become quite the hermit. Thankfully, there are other people out there with social lives. Who…you know…do things.

I still love the idea of Write In My Journal. I want it to live on, but it isn’t realistic for me at this point. That’s why I’m going to do an experiment and turn it over to you.

Fill out this form and I’ll set up a username and password for you. Collect stories, post them and I’ll review and publish them.

Laura took me up on it. Her first post which will be published Monday.

Apologies

Good grief. I’m so sorry. I haven’t forgotten about the site, despite the lack of…well…anything for the past several (four) months. My daughter was born about five months ago and attention and priorities had to be shifted to accommodate the new member of our family.

I’m going to get back on track. I have a story ready to turn into a post and hope to have it up within the week.

Again, I apologize and appreciate your patience.

In the meantime, has anyone collected any stories they’d like to submit?

UPDATE: I’ll be posting tomorrow (Sunday).

A WIMJ update – on a personal note

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted a new story. Please know that I haven’t forgotten about the project!

The good news is that the reason I haven’t been out and about as much is that my wife and I are expecting our second child! We’re very excited for the new addition (due in late May).

However, having a pregnant wife along with a very active toddler who is running around, drawing on my iPod, throwing my computer mouse against the wall and generally acting like a normal 18 month-old means fewer outings. I’ve also been driving to work more often (instead of taking the train) due to hectic mornings wrangling my son and helping my morning-sick-feeling wife. In addition to all that, the entire family is just getting over nasty head colds.

It’s been an eventful few weeks.

Things are falling back into a routine now, and I hope to have some new posts up shortly. I’ve also realized there are so many stories out there waiting to be told, and I obviously can’t collect them all, so I’ve decided to open up Write In My Journal to contributors! I think it would be wonderful to have dozens (hundreds?) of people out there collecting stories that can be shared on this site.

Interested in participating? Check out the new Contributors page for all the details, or feel free to email me with any questions.
