<p>Q. I am not sure how useful it is to have a separate blog &#8211; this one &#8211; duplicating the Storybook Collaborative page I have on Mine Enemy Grows Older. I think it just complicates things when I try to update everything at each location. I need to simplify this process, make it more easily manageable.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ll bring this up to date from time to time, if only to have a back-up. But my main focus will be the <a href="http://rickmobbs.wordpress.com/the-storybook-collaborative">Storybook Collaborative</a> page on mine <a href="http://rickmobbs.wordpress.com">Enemy Grows Older</a>.</p>
<p>was that a question?</p>
