Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on Tweak!, yet I continue see activity on and off the site from new listeners and loyal fans. First off, my apologies to both for my recent absence over the past couple months. I recognize that I’ve been a bit negligent. After all I’m the one who setup a site and podcast, invited people to join me in my journey and pursuit of the freelance lifestyle and then suddenly disappeared. Believe me it hasn’t been easy.

I think watching something you’ve put so much work into slowly fade out is a bit like watching an old friend slip into a coma. You know you should visit, talk to them, bring them flowers, but somehow it’s easier to just avoid the issue and go about your daily life. But all the while there’s this little voice in your head telling you that they may not be always be there, waiting patiently in hibernation for you to visit. The truth is I haven’t just been avoiding Tweak!, or any of you, I’ve been a bit swamped lately. My work load is at an all time high, which is good but leaves me little free time. The other small change in my life is the onset of fatherhood. Yeah, I know it’s scary to think of me as a father, but one week from Friday my beautiful wife will be due to bring our first child into this world. It’s a girl by the way!

So, in short my life is busy. I know what you’re thinking, who’s isn’t? And you’re right. I don’t want Tweak! to fade out and die. I would like nothing more than to see it thrive, grow and continue to help and encourage people. I just need a little bit of time for my life to settle down a bit. I also wouldn’t mind a little help if anyone’s interested. If you’ve got some experience under your belt, a way with words and a desire to give back, I’d love to add you as an author to Tweak!. Just shoot me an email. Thank you all for your patience and encouragement, I look forward to the revival.
