I'm starting with a complete rewrite of &lt;a href="http://www.bencorman.com/sks.phtml"&gt;Suicide and Keg Stands&lt;/a&gt;. It's longer, about 30k words, and there's even an ending this time. New chapters every Monday. You can find &lt;a href="http://www.bencorman.com/archives/chapter_1.phtml"&gt;Chapter 1 here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add it to your &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/BenCormansBlog"&gt;RSS&lt;/a&gt; or whatever you do, but from now on, all my writing will appear over there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading, thanks for all your comments and emails.

You find a little corner of the internet you like and six months later the asshole who runs it stops updating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could say that I've got a grip of new content just sitting here ready to blast at you. I don't. That's the good news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is that I've been writing everyday, it's just not ready for the world to see. I've stopped fucking around with these short stories (which I was never very good at in the first place) and I'm taking a run at writing my first novel. I wish I could say when I expect it to be done but I can't. Certainly by the first of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once it's ready for the world, I'm going to be making a few changes around here. First there won't be a 'here' anymore. I'll be relaunching this site under it's own domain (not creativitydies) and publishing through &lt;a href="http://www.rudiusmedia.com"&gt;RudiusMedia&lt;/a&gt;. I'm an &lt;a href="http://www.rudiusmedia.com/archives/entries/rudius_employee_bio_ben_corman.phtml"&gt;editor&lt;/a&gt; there and soon I'll be writing under the Rudius banner as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a &lt;a href="http://corman.rudiusmedia.com"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; over there where I sometimes write about the process of writing a novel as well as anything else that catches my interest. It's much more of a traditional blog than this ever was, but you might find it interesting. Go ahead and add it to your &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/BenCormansBlog"&gt;rss feed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, like so many other blogspot accounts have over the years, this one dies with barely a whimper. From it will rise something much better however.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20018602-801236148692591265?l=creativitydies.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://creativitydies.blogspot.com/feeds/801236148692591265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20018602&amp;postID=801236148692591265' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20018602/posts/default/801236148692591265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20018602/posts/default/801236148692591265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://creativitydies.blogspot.com/2007/09/haitus.html' title='Haitus'/><author><name>Corman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16390909574575973437</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04315116143956618688'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
