A crime writer here in Austin closed his blog a couple of years ago. It was both informative and entertaining and enjoyed a wide readership.
When asked why he stopped writing it, he said it was time-consuming. He needed to put all his effort into his novels.
In addition, he said, which would most people rather see, a post about an author, or a picture of his cat?
That makes sense. Here’s a picture of my cat.
