THE END

The time has come to bring Burning Water Review to an end. My original intention was to review film, literature, music, and art that I found interesting and inspiring. Sometimes, I would cover an individual director, writer, musician, or artist, and other times I would review a specific work. As the project evolved, I found that it was time consuming to do the research and write the blog posts, and I could see that it was going to go on forever. I also create my own visual art work, and write fiction, and I have come to the decision that I want to devote more time to my own work. 

I like my projects to have closure, so a couple of months ago, I planned the endgame for Burning Water Review. In the later posts, I started to review several works together, so I could cover most of the work that I admire. I now feel I have touched on most of the figures that I feel are important in the arts and had an effect on me. Still, there are some things that didn't find their way into the blog, and I'm sure there will be many works that will come out in the future that will give me inspiration. I feel like very few people have ever read Burning Water Review, but it will remain on the internet as a database. To those of you who did read it, I thank you very much. Hopefully, over time, other people will discover it, and find the work that I wrote about, to be as interesting and inspiring as I did.
