“Epimethius, what happened?!” cry the people who read my blog (in my head it is a throng of thousands). “You were updating so regularly, but then you just disappeared!”
Well, dear readers, I obtained a paid writing gig. Two in fact. They say cobblers always have barefoot children; I'm afraid my barely-proofread passion project shall have to go barefoot for a while.
I'm not giving up on this blog, merely reducing the amount of time I spend on it. I never would have entered into professional writing if not for this blog. Plus, it's just darn good fun. (I cringe at the early blogger mistakes in The 7 Desires of Halloween, but it still remains one of my proudest accomplishments.)
Whenever I feel particularly inspired (or codependently in need of affirmation...always have trouble telling those two apart), I will continue to update. There is so much I still want to talk about: Brandon Sanderson analysis, reviewing The Chosen Season 1, giving my argument for why I think the electoral college is actually a good thing despite its most recent result, celebrating the hidden beauty of the Bronx, et. al.
That being said, there is the issue of the name.
When starting this blog, I couldn't decide between Cobwebs: A Blog of Untangling and Clearing Away or Pumpkins and Spaceships: A Blog of Favorite Things. I ended up splitting the difference: going with one for the title and one for the URL. I now believe this to have been a mistake, both for branding and SEO.
I was set on Cobwebs because I wanted this to be a blog about clearing out my own thoughts, as well as clearing out what I believe to be errors (both theological and aesthetic) in the cultural zeitgeist. However, while this blog has been the former, I find that I do not currently have the stomach for the latter. Instead, looking back on what I have wrote, Pumpkins and Spaceships: A Blog of Favorite Things would be a much more accurate title.
So I'd like to put it to a vote. Should this blog:
a) Continue to be named Cobwebs: A Blog of Untangling and Clearing Away?
b) Be changed too Pumpkins and Spaceships: A Blog of Favorite Things?
Please note the URL for cobwebs is not available, so either way, the URL stays. Please put your answer in the comments below or answer the Facebook poll. Thanks for reading.

PS: The other reason I liked Cobwebs is
that I could privately decide the blog was under the patronage of Mary, Untier of Knots. However, I can do that regardless of the name. This blog is under the patronage of Mary, Uniter of Knots.
May she guide me in writing only what pleases her Son.
