Jason - your candy site’s been quiet for a long time. Have you shown everything there is to show, got bored with it, or just busy with other pursuits? Just wondering.
Good question. I still intend to add new content up there, and actually did a bunch of work toward a new post on flavored candy cigarettes over the past few weeks that I intend to create and post up soon. But in many ways, it has become a bit of a legacy site, just not a dead legacy site.
I did get to the point where each article was taking more and more time, where it would be days and days of scanning, processing and so on, to put something together. My desire to create complete editorial packages just demanded more from me, and at a point, I had less time to focus on that part of it. That alone wasn't the reason for the slowdown, though. Part of it was the year that I was working on the Cooking Channel show/pilot. That sort of took my eye off the site, and I was enjoying a much more casual ability to share things via instagram, without nearly the "complete editorial package" demands part of it.
And, there are some things that I could blast out upon the site, that I've sort of been saving for my first book. Which I had had a number of meetings on, before the pandemic hit.
As for running out of things, no, nowhere near running out of things to put up there. I've got years of content, but it's priorities and time and a bit of editorial strategy, too. I've got SOO much material now that's never been seen anywhere, it's crazy. But I'll keep getting back to it. I still have a bunch of work to do on WishbookWeb.com that I want to do this year, and believe it or not, I've actually been really busy lately. So I keep on doing what I'm doing and keep up seeking out the stories that no one else has documented and so on.
Long answer, I know... Sorry. :-) But thanks for asking.
