Earlier this month I gave notice to my employer, the Leadership Institute, that I would be leaving at the end of July. Friday is my last day as director of the Institute's Campus Leadership Program. As I did in 2003, I will be taking the next year off to write, speak, and concentrate on other projects. The book that I've been working on officially for five months, and unofficially for over a year, will attract most of my attention. But the absence of a normal work schedule will likely mean good things for the blog too. I don't anticipate generating much more daily content than I already do (I am an author before I am a blogger), but I do intend to blog sporadically throughout the day rather than the heretofore customary posts after midnight and sometime the following morning. Before these improvements come to FlynnFiles, I will spend August traveling. My vacation brings me to London, Prague, Wroclaw, Krakow, and Boston. All of this does not necessarily mean that I will be taking a vacation from FlynnFiles, but it does mean that blogging may be light for a few weeks in August. Come September, FlynnFiles will be better than ever. In addition to quitting my job and scheduling the Europe trip, I recently came to an agreement with Crown Forum on the book that I have been researching. Look for it to hit store shelves in late 2007. Until the release of this book, enjoy the blog, read Intellectual Morons and Why the Left Hates America if you haven't, and maybe (but just maybe) I will have a more fun and less weighty book out in the meantime.

Dan,

You should look into having a guest blogger. Andrew Sulivan (sorry for the comparison) is on vacation at the moment, and has a string of guest-bloggers contributing.

Dan, not one spoiler or clue about the upcoming book?

WTF.

Dan, how is it that you broke into the book business anyways? Any suggestions on how to go about doing it?

Ben, I think it's clear that the next book is going to blow the top off the government UFO conspiracy. So of course he wants to keep it on the down low.

Probablly. The Bourgeousie UFO conspiracy, designed the keep the Proletariat feeling safe and cowing them into becoming nothign more than gears in the ever-moving cogs of profit is about to come down. Let the masses unite, Viva La Revolucion!

My favorite author blogged some new news!
A new title, maybe two, but sadly no clues
He once gave some gave tricks
To feed our Flynn fix
But through August we’ll be singing the blues.
