Branching Out

I've been learning a lot this year with blogging. It's pretty fascinating to look back at my older posts and see how my style is developing even in such a short time. The development is uneven, a  two steps forward and one step back kind of thing, but very fun for me to observe. One thing I've learned is that, while I love writing about soccer, it gives a disjointed feel to this blog. The friends and family who read this blog enjoy my observations about life and becoming a dad, but tend to skip the soccer stuff.

Based on this, I've been trying to find other outlets for the soccer posts. I recently emailed Slide Rule Pass about contributing occasionally, got some encouraging feedback, and sent my most recent post to them instead of putting it here.

And he actually put the post up!

We'll see how I handle the feedback I get from a site with a much higher circulation than this little blog, but hopefully it'll build my confidence (At least for now I'm all smiles!). I'll continue to link to whatever I'm able to get published elsewhere and give you all a respite from the soccer articles here!
