It's now been eight months since this blog went on hold. The plan was to integrate the old Words & Stuff columns into this blog, and integrate some entries from my main blog, and relaunch this blog as a new Words & Stuff blog.<\/p>\n
Instead, I set it aside and tried not to think about it. It was too big a project to tackle.<\/p>\n
But I've been gathering material all this time; especially Neology-style material (words I haven't seen before), but also various other stuff.<\/p>\n
And this weekend, links to Words & Stuff from both Metafilter and Languagehat inspired me to get moving again.<\/p>\n
I don't know how long it'll last before I run aground on the twin beaches of inertia and lack of time. But I'm gonna give it a try.<\/p>\n
I won't necessarily stick to the very short entries that this blog was originally intended to focus on. But I also won't be doing full-blown 300- to 1200-word coherent columns on general topics. If I come across something cute and\/or fun and\/or short and\/or interesting, I'll post it, without necessarily having to gather a bunch of related things.<\/p>\n
P.S.: I've always hated the business-speak term \"going forward,\" meaning \"in the future.\" Perhaps using this title here will inspire me to do an entry about business-speak and buzzwords at some point.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
