Hey gang,
My, how the time does fly! It’s been over a year since I’ve taken any sort of break from publishing at TGIMM (the last time I took any time off was in November of 2016); that means that, for more than 52 weeks straight, we’ve published at least one piece a week, at least two a week starting in the spring and early summer, and occasionally three pieces a week as time has allowed. Also, that was on top of, y’know, all the other stuff that comes along with running a website — administrative work, maintaining social media pages, everything that went into designing and launching the new version of the site, creating Patreon rewards, getting the store up and running, etc. — as well as my job outside TGIMM (the one that actually pays the bills).
It’s been a busy year, is what I’m saying, especially for a one-person operation.
So, I’m taking a bit of time off for the holidays, because, well… it’s the holidays. I’m out of town; I have a ton of family and social obligations; I need a little time to recharge my batteries; you know how it goes.
But! Never fear; we’re not ceasing publication entirely over the break. Instead, we’ll be operating on a reduced schedule: I’ll be holding off on publishing any long-form investigative or heavily researched pieces; however, for the next few Wednesdays, I’ve pre-scheduled some shorter and less labor-intensive pieces — the kinds of pieces we typically tend to publish on Wednesdays anyway — to go live at the usual times. I will, however, likely not be moderating comments or posting much on social media during the break, so just keep that in mind.
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled spookiness starting in early January. And in the meantime, I leave you all with a short piece of holiday horror you can watch here.
