It’s been over seven months since I last wrote, longer since I wrote anything consistently, and even longer since I wrote anything worth reading. The first few months off were intentional, as I felt like I was getting stale, and losing whatever little originality I once had. Since around November, my absence has been a little different, more of a forgetfulness combined with an addiction to Facebook, plus the very real fact that I kind of forgot how to write. At the very least, I lost the rhythm that regular writing brings. So I’m going to try to get that back, at least a little bit, because I have missed the blog. Neither my personal life or my work life are overwhelmingly filled with creativity, and the writing kind of filled that hole for me.
Will it again? I hope so. My work like has been busier than ever this past year, as we are more short staffed than ever, and I’ve taken on slightly different roles at the workplace. It’s been a while since I haven’t simply worked straight through lunch, and that is when a lot of my writing has happened. I’m just coming out of what’s been one of the busiest stretches I’ve had in years, so I should have enough time to write at least a little bit…
Normally when I’ve taken breaks from my blog writing over the years, I’ve gone and re-vamped, usually with a vague attempt at a new blog. I don’t think I’m going to do that this time, mostly because some of the things that were frustrating to me about the old versions of the blog are fixed with just my last switch from blogger to wordpress.
As for topics? I don’t imagine they’ll change much. Don’t look for too much from me on Politics or the collapse of our financial system, as I get to spend plenty of my work time working on just these things. Recently I’ve been watching some pretty good tv shows, so I’ll probably write about them. I’ve read a few good books recently, so I’m sure I’ll get to those as well. Other that, I’m really just looking forward to stretching out my writer’s muscles again, and seeing if I’ve still got it.
