Hello, friends!
I have some happy news and some sad news. Let’s get the sad news out of the way first. This will be my last post here on Planet Pailly. I’ve been blogging here for the last fourteen years. In fact, I started this blog shortly after a nasty break up, at a time when a lot of things were changing in my life. Writing Planet Pailly helped me get a fresh start when I needed it most.
Which brings me to the happy news: I’m starting a new blog. The past few years have brought me a lot of pain and hardship. But that’s over now. I can let it go. I’m ready to move on, and I’m ready for another fresh start. I debated long and hard whether my latest fresh start really needed to involve the creation of a fresh, new blog. There’s a good argument to be made for sticking with the blog I already have.
However, in the end, the deciding factor was that I discovered a web address that I really like, a web address that (to my absolute astonishment) nobody had taken. So I jumped on it. And now, going forward, I’ll be doing all my blogging on my new website.
What sort of content can you expect to see on the new website? Well, it won’t be that different. My art style isn’t changing. My writing style isn’t changing, either. But I hope you’ll see my renewed enthusiasm for writing, for blogging, and (most of all) for space. Because I love space. My heart overflows with my love for space! And all I want to do now is share that love with you, dear readers.
So thank you, friends, for following me all these years here on Planet Pailly, and I hope you’ll join me for my next blogging journey over on I Love Space (web address: i-love-space.com). There’s not a whole lot to see there at the moment, but I promise my first I Love Space blog post is coming soon, and I’ll have even more exciting space-related news to share shortly thereafter.
Thank you for Planet Pailly. Good luck as you move your efforts to your Final Frontier. (Or, at least, your Next Frontier.)

Exciting! I started over with my blog in early 2023. I know it needed to be done; I’d started it sixteen years earlier and I was definitely at a very different stage in life then. There are times I wish I’d saved more of it (mainly just because oh-so-much-content), but then–hey–life is change. I look forward to seeing your journey as you make changes! *Vulcan salute*

Thanks, friend! I remember when you restarted, and I was glad to see you back. And I agree: life is change. The way I see it, if I never change, then I’m doing something wrong.

Exciting news James. I totally get needing to feel a page has been turned, even though some of the things stay the same. Looking forward to seeing the new blog blossom – and have subscribed in anticipation.

I think it’s a lovely domain name. space could have another meaning, which is helpful for advancement of human consciousness…

I think I know what you mean. Having space is important, in many senses of the word.
