Writers’ Bloc: embalming the dead
Just a note. In case anyone’s reading either this or that. If you ever visited or contributed to Writers’ Bloc, the site for writing about writing for the sake of writing about writing in the form of writing and then writing some more about writing, you may be vaguely interested to know that at some point the next couple of days, the domain is due to expire and the site will disappear forever into the distant fuzzyness called Once Upon A Time On The Internet. Unusually, for a sad vanity domain-collecting geek such as myself, I have resolved not to continue paying for this one purely so that approximately ten people a day can arrive at it via obscure Google searches. I need the money so that I can afford to buy another domain next week (maybe).
Fear not, however, because I have decided to preserve it in aspic, as if untouched except by the pure hands of virgins. For the foreseeable future or until the internet implodes under the sheer weight of filth, kittens and filthy kittens (whichever comes sooner), the tomb of Writers’ Bloc will reside at writersblocnet.wordpress.com. Imagine it as a kind of whitewashed headstone. Thank you and goodnight.
