Myth Conceptions - Update

I am returning Myth Conceptions to a weekly status starting next week, but only temporarily.

I will be posting ten more installments (3 of which are already written) and then I'll be ending the column with the 75th installment. I'm doing this for a number of reasons.

First, I just don't have the time, or willpower, to keep it on schedule right now, and I think it's unfair to what readers I do have to keep changing it from weekly to bi-weekly, and then being constantly late on top of that.

Second, I just don't have anything else to say relating to the concept or title. It's just not in me anymore.

Third, I'd rather focus on other things at the moment rather than keeping up with the column. And I hope to bring on some new columnists to SBC soon.

Down the road I may come back with an entirely new concept, or maybe even the return of Indy-Pendant, I don't know. I'll of course continue to write occasional reviews and interviews on the site, as well as the SBC Reel twice weekly. But it's just time to move on. 75 installments is a good amount of columns, and a good stopping point. That will make 175 columns I've written including MC and IP.

I plan to write the other 7 pieces this week and next so they are out of the way and ready to go. That means the last one will post on October 23rd, which means I'm freed up for the holidays, which is a good thing.

So I guess that's it. Myth Conceptions has been a lot of fun, and it's been a challenge going beyond the original vision of the column (Jason's vision) and making it my own while still relating to the theme in some way. Just lately it feels less relevant and more like a rant or op/ed type deal, and I've got enough avenues for that already!

It's been real, though. Thanks for reading, and I hope you continue to read other stuff I write!
