It’s been a while but I’ve decided to once again use this page to pollute the cluttered void of existence with thoughts translated into those recognizable bits of sound we call words. It felt good to write that sentence. I’m beginning to think perhaps this was a good idea after all.
After 2017 I largely took a break from publishing my writing online. A year of writing articles with the intention of making money pretty much killed my interest in that kind of publishing and aside from a few satire posts and rants on my Twist The Knife site and one satire post on the site for my forthcoming podcast, Notes From Dystopia, my writing focus has been on a novel I will hopefully publish in 2021.
Which brings me to the reason I am writing this right now: routine. 2020 threw me for a loop, and I’m sure i’s been the same for many of you who are reading this post. Is anyone reading?
I’ve decided to add a morning routine to my existence and a blog entry after exercise and shower seemed like a good way to kickstart my return to the writing fold. I have two main focuses as a writer at the moment. My main overarching focus is on completing and publishing my novel, The Nonexistent, which I have been working on for 3 years and needs to be completed. My secondary focus is on getting that aforementioned podcast, Notes From Dystopia, off the ground. Resurrecting this blog is, I suppose, a third focus, but one undertaken with the intention of supplementing the other two and, in a more general sense, fomenting a substrate of behavior that will allow me to better accomplish the creative and personal tasks and goals I set for myself.
So, in other words, don’t expect topically cohesive posts here going forward. If one were to go through the past posts on this site they’d find topical posts. Moving forward, this site be more like daily personal musings, ideas, and reflections in the stream that is my consciousness. Whether it will be of much interest or use to anyone but me isn’t relevant to why I’m doing it. Hypothetical readers are enough. The mission is non-hypothetical writing. Every day. Sit down and write. That’s the plan.
