Update!

Posted on 02. Dec, 2009 by Isaac Yassar in Uncategorized

updateHi everyone!

Well, it’s been a while after my last post here. So I’ll tell you my story behind this pause of activity.

I started this blog as a part time activity as I also worked on my final paper of Graduate Program of English Literature. After a few months of blogging, I did not feel like making adequate progress on my final paper. Then suddenly, my supervisor told me that he was about to go abroad, so I had to finish my paper soon. Or otherwise I had to find another supervisor.

So then I rushed my paper and paused blogging. It was a good choice, I finished my final paper after one or two months working 100% on it. I ‘ve had my final examination and now I am waiting for the ceremony of graduation.

My supervisor liked my paper, he said that it was concise and easy to follow. Then he offered a freelance job as a staff of English translator team of the department. That’s what I do now.

Meanwhile, I am not sure of what I will do with this blog. I am not deeply in blogging stuff any longer so it will be a little bit harder for me to write about it.  In fact I want to start a new blog about social criticism, or about translation.

If you have any suggestion please let me know on comments. Cheers.

    Well Congradulations! On the new position and it sounds like you will be graduating soon. Thats great!

    Like your supervisor I found your style of writing in this blog is easy to follow. If you have the time start up a new blog in a new interest of yours. Follow your passion!

    Hey Isaac,

    It would be sad to see you go if you did. The worst case scenario would be is to sell your blog so at least the niche and topics would stay relevant.

    Having said that, blogs can always transition and evolve so you could change the way your blog acts over time to mold it to the way you want it to be.

    Keep in mind the readers and what they want though :) If they don’t like the change than maybe selling it would be a wise idea – or maybe even partnership so you’re not completely gone?

    Thanks for your support Cienik and Sarge. I still plan to run this blog. But I’m still thinking about the “how” because of the change in the phase of my offline life. Still need some adaptation ;-)

    Hey Isaac nice to see you here again.

    I think you should blog about what you really like and what you feel comfortable with. I’m sure you are going to choose the right option :)

    See you buddy, and welcome back.
