Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Wanna make something of it? I, for one, don’t feel like delivering the apologia that normally accompanies a black hole of several months between blog posts. Suffice it to say 2010 was a year of getting along, plugging through and all that. It just wasn’t a year, for me, full of creative inspiration and productive urges. Death, yes. Family drama, si. Random illness, da. Creative energy, not so much.
(Speaking of random illness, anyone who’s experienced a nasty inner ear imbalance can confirm the level of debilitation. The emergency room nurse opined that it’s the worst no-permanent-damage ailment that can happen to someone. Forget elaborate, Evil Overlord style plotting; any villain with the mutant power to tweak an opponent’s inner ear would win by default. Superman would remain curled in a fetal position if Lex developed an Inner Ear Pressure Alternator. Hell, Galactus would even puke up all the old planets he’s already devoured if someone just messed with his balance to that extreme. But I digress…)
New Year’s, with all its expectation of resolutions and new beginnings, seems like the perfect opportunity to hit the reset button. So, why not jump on the bandwagon? I’m writing, filming and recording with renewed vigor… even knee-deep in research for a new idea that has me excited again. In the immortal words of my VP chum Cath Schaff-Stump, I’m ready to “see my writing journey as more about being who I am, and less about being a goal-oriented freak.” Preach it, sister! I’m totally on board.
Dude:
It’s no good being a freak. Of the wrong kind.
