One of my favorite rituals of the week is reading the very witty commentary that is posted by the good folks over at Civil War Interactive on their This Week In Civil War Blogs page. All of us in the CW-Blog community have been blessed by the free PR that CWI has given us (online and in print). I would be willing to bet that most of us keep blogging because of these weekly updates. After all, the shame in not having anything new for CWI to review every Thursday is incentive enough for me to keep typing away. Today they posted a great one on me, and I wanted to address it here.
They wrote: “Mike has been working too hard lately to post a great deal to the Blog, but when you see what he's been occupied with it's hard to berate him for sloth. He wrote an entire script for an upcoming CWHC chat on "J.E.B. Stuart: Christian Cavalier," a "Meet The Generals" brochure design for Lee's Lieutenants, and completed research and compilation on the scripture sections for a forthcoming devotional book "The Southern Cross." We wonder if it speeds things up or slows things down to be working on a book with a religious focus, since presumably you are not allowed to curse while writing such a thing.”
The truth is that I probably curse just as much as all the other writers… AND that’s why I have to spend so much extra time at church. :)
