At the end of last year, we had a good long hard look at the writing we'd done so far to see if we had a 'going thing' and to decide what we keep doing and what we might change.
The good news is that the blog is a 'going thing'. We want to expand the focus a little, but it will still be all about words.
In other news, we want to change the blog design, the post format, and the frequency of posts.
After a year of writing and thinking, we were able to clarify what motivates us, our aims and where we want to go. We had grappled a bit with the focus, and also our tendency to write such hilariously long posts. We had feedback from a few readers that was really helpful.
We've put our aims and motivations into our new blog manifesto!
As a result of what we have decided, we want to change the name of the blog as well. 'Angst' about adjectives might have been the organiser when we were getting the blog going, but our writing is more often prompted by curiosity, confusion, amusement or irritation. And we have found ourselves writing beyond adjectives for some time now.
So, the best way to update everything and create a new name is to set up a new blog, migrate all the posts and you - our readers - as well, and go from there. This will take time, so for the next few months (hopefully not too long), we will have fewer new posts while we build the new site and review and revise all the previous writing.
We have lots of new ideas as well; and we are feeling excited about the clarify that a year of writing has allowed.
We think you will really like the new blog. Stay tuned for more news!
