thank you for everything

We have ended the updating of askaboutwriting and thank you for your interest and continued support over the years on this great writing journey we have been on.
When we began so many years ago, we sourced our own stories and stood them up for readers, before publishing them.
That modus operandi continued to our final update.
Indeed, we have been visited by so many supposedly independent peddlers of writing news that sometimes we wondered why we continued at all, given that our source material was providing copy for others to promote as their own work.
However, technology changes and the internet changes as many times and as swiftly as does the sky on an Irish summer's day.
There are now many ways you can access news of writing and opportunity yourself, directly.
And in the meantime our team here, writers all, need time to pursue their own writing careers.
So.
That's it.
We leave the listings as they are and will monitor them as they pass their due dates to remove them, to keep askaboutwriting relevant, as always.
The database of some 600 reviewed websites will stay as is until such time as the site itself slowly fades from sight in time to come.
stay well...
The blog will have an AskEddie response to a writing query for a while
Keep writing
And we wish you whatever level of success that pleases you, for not every writer wants to be a celebrity.
Most do it for love of writing.
As we do.
