Doctor, the patient is unresponsive

This is what happens: Every time I take a vacation, I have a hard time getting back on the treadmill.

It's a heck of a time for me to have no motivation. I made a promise to myself that when I came back from vacation, I would slow down. This is part of my overall plan to not do so much; not read so much; not do anything.

My goal for next year is to scale back in some areas so I can pay proper attention to what matters. I'm launching a project in January, which will eventually take most of my time. I'll talk about it more in the coming days. Sorry to be vague right now.

I'm still doing reviews. I haven't posted links for many of them. Over the next few days, I'll try to catch up on that. The reason I post links isn't to brag about how many reviews that I do. Rather, it's a nice way of letting authors know that they have been reviewed. Authors search for their names on the net, and voila. That seems to be the way that authors figure out that they've been reviewed. Clipping services are way passé.

I might post my New Year's Resolutions soon. Some of them may surprise you.
