The End Of An Era

Posted on May 20, 2013 by russtowne

I’m always appreciative and grateful when someone says something kind about this blog or honors it with an award, and I’ve just reached a decision that I’ve long considered and kept putting off until now.

I no longer plan to accept blog awards. I will always be grateful to those who have nominated me for them, and I may even on occasion answer questions, etc, that are part of an award, but going forward I need to better balance the way I spend my time on-line.

Thank you for your support and understanding!

Love,
Russ

    I had to do the same thing – the time it takes to respond got too much. I would rather spend my time reading the blogs I enjoy, and concentrate on my writing. So I get it!

    Makes so much sense Russ! 🙂 I also don’t accept awards because of the same reasons.
