Changing Places

I can no longer justify paying 250 Euros + a year for a blog I don’t write on anymore.

This website will be archived at http://surprisinghorizons0.wordpress.com

It’s been a blast but I never hit the blogging stride I wanted to hit and as the world got more into 5 second soundbites, my blog got more and more left behind.

Cheers to the good old days when writing was an art form.
