Back in 2003 Scoble wrote his 20 point “Corporate Weblog Manifesto“. Point 13 says:
13) If your life is in turmoil and/or you’re unhappy, don’t write. When I was going through my divorce, it affected my writing in subtle ways. Lately I’ve been feeling a lot better, and I notice my writing and readership quality has been going up too.
Okay, this may not be a “corporate” blog and no, I don’t do everything Robert Scoble says anyway (Doc Searls, now that is a different matter, see point 10). No, I’m not going through divorce (been there, done that), but my life, especially at work, has been in turmoil of late. Nothing that won’t pass…in fact it’s starting to already.
So, if you glance every now and then at your list of feeds in your reader (you are using a feed reader I hope) and are wondering where I am, see point 13.
Maybe in future I’ll just write a post with the title “Point 13” and in the body put “See title”….and you’ll know what’s going on.
hang in there buddy!
you are doing great things.

thanks mate……this too shall pass…..
Get up Jonah- you were born for now 🙂
For those wondering, Jane refers to the song "Get Up Jonah" by Bruce Cockburn – http://cockburnproject.net/songs&music/guj.html
– and in particular the meaning of the name Jonah – http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=jonah – and my personality type – it’s a long, deep, convoluted story. But you could do worse than listen to Bruce.
