I receive plenty of articles on interesting topics - I'm not short of reading material. The monthly fee you charge is modest and I won't feel shortchanged if I hear from you only , say, six times a year.

My point is this: Please write only when you have something interesting and new to say. You won't and can't summon up interesting material to a schedule. Leave that to regular columnists.

If you have a fallow period, just go with it and I'll still follow you even if I don't hear from you for months on end. I'd far rather get something rarely and irregularly and hardly contain myself to start reading it, than get a regular flow of meh-material produced to meet a schedule, material that I make myself open, until suddenly, I don't.
