Perhaps there comes a time in every bloggers life where she needs to sit back and have a long, hard think about what she is writing and who she is writing for. I know I reached that point this past week.
I’ve said before that I don’t care about my audience, that I write for me [...]

OK, if you love me people, you’ll stop inviting me to your universities to do PHds.
I can’t afford it.
