Yup, Almost a Whole Freaking Year!

Yes, I know, it's embarrassing. Almost a whole year since I posted anything to Bellhops. In fairness, most of the last year I was swallowed up in Salesforce related work, which translate as: "I'm too tired to do anything. Ever."

But I'm not doing Salesforce anymore. New job, new responsibilities. Much better.

If any of my 8 readers are still out there, I'm reading a memoir right now titled "Let's Pretend This Never Happened", by Jenny Lawson. Read this book. Laugh. Get stomach pains from laughing hard. Seriously.

While I didn't find Storehouse as useful after they locked things down, it was still an amazing tool and I loved using it for the stories I did publish.

I never really understood why they shifted their model - their reasoning at the time didn't really click for me - but that was their business decision. Regardless, I hope MK and his folks will move on to wonderful and exciting things as they are clearly a talented bunch.
