I think Twitter killed my blog

With the help of Justin Slack I have (read: "He has") finally managed to get nh [dot] com back up. Finally.I say this with much trepidation. I am not sure how I feel about having my blog back up and running. I feel a sense of pressure back and looming over my head. I feel a slight sense of relief that it's up and running and I think I feel a bit sad that I couldn't go on without it. Some part of me wants to let it go.But I can't, and I wont.Strangely though it took me almost a week to figure out that my blog had gone down. It took a further week for anyone else to notice and it took a further week for me to get off my lazy ass and ask someone for help.Three weeks of downtime. Three weeks of no blogging concerns. Three weeks where I just didn't care. Although I must admit that I think it is more than three weeks since I started the end of my extreme blogging days.Twitter has killed me blog. There I said it. I'm not sure if I believe it but I said it out loud for everyone to read.As a writer deep down inside it pains me to think that a service offering me 140 characters has usurped my focus from a platform that allows me almost endless freedom to write whatever comes to mind in as many words, sentences, paragraphs and pages as possible. Maybe this is a further sign of our times? Maybe the 30 second generation has become the 140 character generation and is soon to become the "Icanliketousesmallwordsandnospaces" generation?Am I the only one who is potential a bit concerned by this? Again I give you: Maybe...Nevertheless I love using Twitter and wont stop, I love writing and wont stop blogging and still am not fond of the book in my face.
