Making some headway on my book

I am pleased to report that my book is finally coming along – after much procrastination. In all fairness, though, I can’t shoulder the entire blame for that: I’ve been extremely busy with work for the last year. Whenever I was ready to sit down and write another few pages, or an entire chapter, my clients would come along and dump tons and tons of work on my desk.

As you know, I am writing a book about Canadian politics. I’m currently working on the chapter on political blogging in Canada (the “Canadian political blogosphere”).

I really want to finish the entire book by the end of this year!

Important news regarding my sites

Effective immediately, my Web Columns will be published at www.WernerPatels.ca first and archived at www.WernerPatels.net.

They will no longer be published at www.WernerPatels.com, which now serves as my “blog” for observations on current affairs that don’t require a 600-800-word opinion column.

So if you have my dot-com site bookmarked, please add my dot-ca as well.

Also note: www.WernerPatels.ca is no longer hosted on the Blogger platform. Instead, it has been moved to the www.Typepad.com service.
