i'm finding that I simply don't have much new material to write about. Wanting to be a polymath is about wanting to be an expert in multiple fields, and expertise takes practice. Practice simply takes time, and that's where I currently am in my journey. Unfortunately, there are only so many entertaining ways to phrase "I practiced x activity today," or (and this happens more than I'd like to admit) "I didn't practice y today."
And I don't like posting just for the sake of keeping the blog current. I want to provide new, interesting content on a fairly regular basis, which I don't feel I'm capable of doing anymore under the current arrangement of the site. As things currently are, I'm either posting about my incremental progress or about information I've found elsewhere online. Neither of these topics are particularly stimulating to me as a writer. Maybe they are for you as a reader - that would be awesome, but I'll be realistic :)
So, I'm starting the process of redesigning the site. I'm keeping the domain name, but I'll be changing the format, the focus - nearly everything, though the new theme will retain its polymathic "essence." I don't want to go into much detail right now. Essentially, what I aim to do is take this blog, which is essentially an online echo chamber for my thoughts, and turn it into a sort of learning/networking tool for others. Eventually.
Hopefully I'll have the new site up and running by the end of January. In the meantime, I suggest adding Puttylike - "lifestyle design for multipotentialites" - to your RSS feed reader.
See you soon!
Also, try checking out the "Aspiring Polymaths" page on Facebook. Kind of a slow conversation, but interesting comments pop up often enough that it's worth checking out from time to time.
