I have been challenged by cl of The Warfare is Mental to debate my conclusions about the Problem of Evil. I will be defending the position “Needless suffering exists” and will have the burden of proof — the assumption that the existence of needless suffering implies that God does not exist will not be discussed or challenged.

I’ve been having a frustrating moment recently as my Apple power cord has broke, leaving me unable to use my laptop regularly. I’ve ordered a power cord replacement that could come in soon, but it has been disruptive of my work life and blogging, so I won’t be able to blog reliably until my new power cord comes in. The rant continued a bit in this essay, but you’ve already got the gist of it.

What the title says, I need to focus my work in other areas and simply won’t have the time to write again until Wednesday, January 18. See you then!

Exactly what the title says, there will be no new essays until December 26. Have a happy winter solstice season, and feel free to read on for more reasoning / apologizing.

Now that NaNoWriMo is over, this blog is returning to its previous schedule of an essay every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, plus a Weekly Link Roundup on Friday. Additionally, I will be doing extra posting on the last week of December to celebrate the end of the year.

I’ve finally completed my month long goal to write 50000 words and host 30 essays throughout the month of November. I have completed National Novel Writing Month. This is my celebration post, as well as a complete listing of all 30 essays.

I want to fix, update and/or replace a blog series I recently wrote, but I’m not sure how to go about it, especially given my other goal of succeeding in my NaNoWriMo experiment. Any suggestions?

I want to do NaNoWriMo, except on my blog: I will be writing my 50,000 words in a series of blog essays for the month of November, attempting to write a blog post every day, something I wasn’t even able to do in my blogging experiment when I wasn’t a full time student.

I’m taking this week off from writing essays, but I’ll still be participating in comments on this blog as well as background research for upcoming essays and cleaning up the site. I have a lot of other obligations to get to and I want to do my research for upcoming essays especially in-depth, so I need this week to catch up. I feel confident that with this break, I’ll be able to re-acquire the momentum to put myself back on a three-quality-essays-a-week schedule.

Now that I’ve started my college year, I need a new blogging schedule. Spoiler alert: I’ve decided to run essays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then run a Weekly Link Roundup also on Friday.
