I’ve come to the decision to put Sein und Werden on hold for a while. It takes up a lot of my time and I’m beginning to lose sight of the fun and the important things. I have so much pressure on with deadlines that I feel guilty for getting irritated when the little ‘un is demanding my time. And I rarely have time to read, or sit and watch a film, my greatest pleasures. I need my escape thank you very much. So, Sein is taking it easy for a while. However, ISMs Press is going to continue in vein, with the publication of 3 e-books this year. Well, definitely 3 e-books, maybe this year. The first is coming in January, a collection called Sui Generis and other stories by Marc Lowe. After this last (but not final!) Bauhaus issue of Sein which I am hoping to get done pre-Christmas. But hey, we’ll see how it goes. Then it’s piles of books I have to review but first, and first and first after Sein I’m going to relax for a little while. Even if it’s only a week. I’m going to lie on the bed and read my Diane Arbus biography and not feel guilty. I’m going to watch my favourite, inspirational films. I’m going to get clicky and take some photos that are NOT snapshots.
And I’m going to embrace the Christmas holiday. I’m not a fan of Christmas. Commerical shite. But it’s different now. So we’ve put up decorations (a first for me) and J twisted the lights around the banister (we don’t have room for a tree) and Violet’s eyes went big and round when she saw them. And we’ll all be merry and bright.

Enjoy your respite… everyone needs one!
I remember Christmas as being fun when my niece & nephew were small. Not so much anymore, though, now that they’re teenagers.
For what it’s worth I thought Sein und Werden was cool and certainly you are very much deserving of a break…. Enjoy!
