Firstly, I get very bogged down in Facebook groups related to my hobby and that impacts the time I spend on blog posts / updates.
I also believe Facebook is having a detrimental impact on my mental health and general communication / emotional availability with my wife. With a new addition to the family on the way and fatherhood beckoning, my hobby time will be severely limited going forwards, so I want to move the blog back onto this, less intense platform.
In addition, I have followed a few warhammer 40k groups having got back into that game in a big way since early 2019, and the volume of negativity, anti-creative sentiment and cantankerous baiting has taken its toll.
However, there have been some positives. Facebook has enabled me to share posts and photos in a wide variety of groups and as a result it has grown to approx 500 likes / followers. Another especially great thing personally was to share my work on All Quiet on the Martian Front with the game's creators and close knit community including the author of the corresponding novels. I hope some people follow the blog as it transfers across to here.
More blog posts to follow soon!!!
