This site is on hiatus... Indefinitely

As the title blatantly shouts out, this site is on hold indefinitely, aka it's in ER and the doctor is about to pronounce it death. This probably has to qualify for the fastest death/quasi-shutdown for a blog.

Why?
Simply put, I had lots of ideas but neither time nor a viable system to organize, write and publish by the dateline I set myself (weekly). 1 month from my 1st post, I have the skeletons for 5 posts, research for 7, and enough books/material to read till I am 60. It didn't help that I work 12-14hr on a normal working day and the past 3 weeks were anything but normal.

Lessons to be learnt

1. Build a contingency plan for when your writing time is eaten up (by work, family, the cookie monster, whatever) before embarking on an endeavour. That way, you won't be 200 miles from port when your boat springs a leak and you find that you have no bucket to bail with.
2. Make detailed notes. It gets pretty annoying when I have to refer to a book every other day, particularly when said book is returned in the library. By making detailed notes, I can quickly scan them for reference without having to dig through hundreds of pages of rubbish.
3. Practice what you preach, or internalize your workings before writing. This may sound pretty hypocritical, but I had just embarked on this project personally only for about 4 months. I am practicing methods that I gleaned from my readings, but the whole system is not in a state where I am consistently getting the results I want (read: more time to do things I want).
   

This does not mean I plan to end on a whimper. Rather, I will take this time to really work my problems out and finish a few drafts to flesh out my ideas.

Let this be a lesson for my hubris.
