A Time for Change(.org)
Friday, March 12 2010
Regular readers will note that my blogging has been slow lately. I’ve been busy offline, and meanwhile I’ve thought about refocusing this blog. Here’s what came from that process:
-I am now a member of Change.org’s Universal Healthcare blogging team, which means I’ll be doing all of my reform, politics, and policy posting over there. Change.org has done a great job of recruiting authoritative voices from all aspects of health care, all of them advocating for progressive reform. It’s one of the blogs I’ve kept in my RSS reader, and linked to every now and then. I will include brief excerpts of my Change.org posts here, but for the most part I’m done talking about reform on this site. You can read my first post, though it will be familiar material.
-I am also done talking about myself on this blog, more or less. I’ve run out of hilarious stories about my illness. I want to focus instead more on helping other people navigate their illnesses. To that end, I’m going to try to post at least one “How to…” post a week (tagged as “how2″), giving advice and ideas for getting by. See, for example, my last post: “How to… Learn to Fly!”
-I’m going to continue posting chapters of the draft of League of Mortals. I suspect nobody is reading it, but that somebody will appreciate it, sooner or later.
Congrats on blogging for change.org! How to sounds interesting.
And I am reading League of Mortals. Can’t wait for the next batch!
I’m reading and loving ‘League of Mortals’. Congrats on the new blogging gig!
Congrats on the new gig!
Congratulations on your willingness to move in a new direction. Look forward to reading your posts at Change and your new slant on this site.
