Due to a lack of readership, frustrated writers, and the taxation of my own chronometric resources, I've decided to close out Three Hole Pundit.
In the end, this is another vindication of the basic principle that if something seems like a chore, it probably should be avoided. Nobody rewards initiative when it comes to self-abuse. Of course, there are other activities in my life that should probably go the way of Three Hole Pundit that I continue to hang onto, but my grip is loosening.
So what did I learn here? On the one hand, Three Hole Pundit got me into Twitter, which is useful and great. I learned that there are some good writers coming up through the ranks, even if their scripts aren't ready. Lastly, I learned a good bit about how blogs work. Despite the constant frivolities, I get better readership on this here rag than I did on Three Hole. Based on what I've read, this is partly because I'm able to post more often. Partly, it's also because people really do like nonsense.
Since this blog doesn't hit me as a pain in the ass, and since I do feel I have some useful things to say, I'll just let the 8 Sided Blog be my voice on the internets. Three Hole Pundit will drift out to sea, and we can launch flaming arrows at it until it burns to a soggy cinder.
Catchy name, though! If any of you screenwriters want the rights to threeholepundit.com, let me know. I'll part with it on reasonable terms.
