The Short Goodbye

Hello and welcome to the 100th and final installment of NotWriting.com, an open journal of the stuff one writer does when he should be writing.

It’s been a fun ride, but after 7 years and a couple of awards (including Yahoo’s Editors Best of the Web in 2002), it’s time for me to move on.

A blog that I started on a lark quickly developed a cult following, and I’m grateful to my loyal readers. However, given that I spend much more of my time writing now than procrastinating, a blog that celebrates the stuff a writer does to avoid writing doesn’t make any sense.

I have many other reasons why I’m getting out of the blogging game altogether, and if you’d like to hear about them, check out my main weblog, Chris Orcutt, Writer.

Thank you very much for an enjoyable 7 years.

Sincerely,

Chris
