Still Alive

Just a quick post to say that i’m still alive & kicking.
I made it back from my trip to the USA with very fond memories of meeting other unschoolers including Arp & Trish (and hearing of their impending move to Costa Rica). I especially appreciated staying with Phoenix & his family who were extremely generous in opening up their house to a complete stranger from australia with a blog.
It was marvelous and inspiring to see how present Jac was with Phoenix who thrived of her attention and understanding. I’ve been writing a lot since I came back but, as you might have noticed, not much for the Pit. My silence must be working as the visitors to this site keeps going up and I’ve had over thirty new subscribers since my last post! Maybe I should not write more often?
Well if you are keen to stay in touch with my infrequent updates subscribing to the Pit is a good idea. I only email out about updates occasionally so it wont overwhelm your inbox.
The reason I’ve been a bit slow here is because I’m working on a science fiction novel(s) and more recently a bunch of short stories. If that is your thing you can go to my other site at www.arunaway.net. At the moment all that’s there is the option to subscribe for updates and in 2009 i will start posting stories and stuff on it.
I will still be posting to the Pit, but if things are slower than usual you will know that my first novel is getting closer to completion (or possibly that I’ve lost it with my kids and don’t want to tell you about it!)


Was wondering what had become of you. Luckily there is enough archived on your site to keep me reading even though I’m a regular. Looking forward to seeing your book!
Glad to hear the writing’s coming along - looking forward to reading some stories. I’m envisioning onewith a planet of unschoolers that get invaded by aliens who insist on sending everyone to school. Chaos ensues, then you fly in wearing Underoos and save the day.
Welcome back! You have been missed.
Yay! Arun is back!
I have been checking here almost daily and was strating to wonder WHERE THE HECK is Arun?
Did someone keep him prisioner in New York City???
Glad you are back and had a good time. Next trip to the US come visit us in cold Minnesota!
I think you have been held hostage and your captors allowed you to write a post to throw us off track….!
WE MIISSSSSSS YOU!!!! Come back!!
Cool. I’m a long-time s-f fan; I’ll be anxious to read your novel when it comes out!
Welcome home! Glad to see you are still alive and kicking!
Happy Holidays from the Maiers!
