I also greatly enjoy many of your articles. However, do what you like and I will probably keep reading regardless of what that is. Thanks for the effort you have put into the blog. I'll also enjoy reading your books, both fiction and non-fiction. Military sci-fi is a favorite genre of mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-9044884491466003822012-06-21T04:10:50.440-05:002012-06-21T04:10:50.440-05:00Write what you want, I'll check here daily r...Write what you want, I'll check here daily regardlessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-51482002803494723452012-06-20T22:53:30.692-05:002012-06-20T22:53:30.692-05:00You do what keeps you together, I am sure most of ...You do what keeps you together, I am sure most of us will stick around. <br /><br />Re economics, I think those posts are just too long to easily digest.

I could care less about airplanes or ships but I like the rest of your sidebar series. I'd be interested to hear more life stories. I don't know why, but I hate reading fiction on the internet. When you publish (even if it is self-published) I'll happily buy it for my Kindle, but I don't even read Brigid's stuff, and I think she's quite good. These are just my random thoughts; at the end of the day, I look forward to seeing what direction you take the blog.The Lost Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047062069421428331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-35249881282869241032012-06-20T21:22:18.857-05:002012-06-20T21:22:18.857-05:00Peter, I think when I asked that you said somethin...Peter, I think when I asked that you said something like "write what you want to write about because if you enjoy it, it shows, and we enjoy it".<br /><br />I've tried.<br /><br />I also have to say yours is one of only a handful that I check almost religiously or obsessive-compulsively.
