Quite the reverse.<br /><br />I’ve been asked several times over the years whether I ever struggle coming up with things to write about. How could I? How could anybody?<br /><br />What’s frustrating is wanting to write about more, and write in more depth, and not having the time. Having to leave good subjects alone - subjects that are not being covered elsewhere - due to lack of time is a real drag.<br /><br />Such is life.<br /><br />Still, we’ll be back in January anyhoo doing what we can.<br /><br />Jonathan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293162543015231439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-11351469987501994842014-12-26T13:30:17.838+00:002014-12-26T13:30:17.838+00:00Oh dear.

This isn't the case any more (I, for instance, spend a lot of time on the road or working <i>not</i> in front of a screen).<br /><br />Of course, it may be that the total amount of material we produce doesn't change much, but the main point is that we've only been able to sustain the blog for so long by never, ever failing to publish on the advertised days, because once that starts happening there's only one way it's going to end. So we don't like to <i>guarantee</i> more than we're sure we can actually do. That's we cut down from seven times a week to four - and now to three.ejhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582272075999298935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-80924111685243273742014-12-24T23:01:52.784+00:002014-12-24T23:01:52.784+00:00Bummer that you'll only be doing 3 days a week...Bummer that you'll only be doing 3 days a week. If you're running short of original material, perhaps you could ask Ray Keene to submit the occasional piece? It's my impression that he's overflowing with good new stuff but has no outlets to place it all.<br /><br />More seriously, I'd love if you could team up with some other bloggers and run a regular chess column, a convenient one-stop shop with new material every day.<br /><br />I know I'm asking you to do this for free and I'm sure you have better things to do. Still, a reader can hope . . .Andrew Gelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715992780769751789noreply@blogger.com
