Patrick Rothfuss & Authors with Blogs

I am really beginning to become quite concerned about Pat Rothfuss. This is odd, because I don't know him.

An yet, from reading his blog, I have become quite fond of him despite not ever having met him. I'm sure lots of other people feel the same way, if not about Pat, then about someone else whose blog they read regularly. It's a very strange by-product of modern life on the internet.

Anyway, back to Pat Rothfuss. I've been reading his blog for years now, and he was a very regular contributor--at least one post a week, sometimes more. There were occasionally gaps when he was working super hard on his current book, but those were usually accounted for on the blog.

But now his last post was on September 2nd. It heralded no break in the regular flow to come, but there has been nothing since and, as I said, I am getting worried. I fear very much that something bad has happened in his life and, although I don't know him, I feel badly that I have not been about to reach out and say, "I hope everything's okay. Good wishes coming your way."
