Heading out to Columbus for the WFC

[msagara]

There will be a delay in posting for a few days before I get back to Grade One (and yes, I'm aware that at this point it's unfolding as if it were real time.) I have half a post, but didn't finish it, as I spent the afternoon at the bookstore, which was closed because we are moving to 84 Harbord Street on the 30th. When I won't be here.

But: I wanted to thank everyone who's dropping by and leaving comments on these posts. I assumed that most of the people reading this LJ would find them only peripherally of interest -- or less. I've been really surprised by the number of people who've found the entries helpful, and it's certainly made me feel less self-conscious about writing them in what has, heretofore, been almost entirely a writing/publishing blog.

ETA: 'dropping to' is not the same as 'dropping by and leaving"

They are not of specific and direct interest to me because kids grown up and not those issues myself anyway, but I have to say, I think they have been GREAT posts. Much more valuable than the typical rant about what people shouldn't be writing . . . (oops).

I am very glad you have wrote these posts. They make me feel not so alone in this and some days I sure feel all alone.

Have fun up the road in Columbus!

I've found the posts really interesting. They have even given me perspective on a couple of my students this semester. This was unexpected, but nice.

Have a great time at the WFC!

Move store or go to WFC? Tons of books or tons of fun and you chose fun. Have a great time!

The posts have been phenomenal and I do hope you continue. But with that much writing and effort in them, I really do hope you're taking the usual steps to copyright them to yourself, and pursuing a publisher!!

I am finding the posts utterly compelling.

I really enjoy your posts, so keep on keeping on. And enjoy WFC! Wish I was there. I'm going to try to get down to Bakka ASAP but life has been ridiculous lately.

I'm not a regular reader of your blog but I am reading these posts because I find them fascinating as a story.

This is in large part why I started to write them. It can be awfully isolating, at least at the beginning -- and I think a lot of parents are in that position. Or just generally feel isolated, even when not.
