I started blogging before it was even called "blogging". Quite a while now since my first ever post. Last 2 years or so, my ability to write has been terribly stunted. Was it because i had nothing left to say? Surely not. Was it because Life had changed me? Perhaps.
I've started many new things these last 24 months. Ended some too. Moved yet others around to positions anew. Have things changed so much that they're unrecognizable now? I suppose not. At the core, i'm still me, the world is still the World, and my place in it, if at all, has shifted just a bit. In the bigger picture, 2 years might as well be 2 seconds, 2 instances, 2 breaths, 2 pulls of a cigar.
In all this non-change, i've thought a lot about going back to basics: writing for writing's sake. I've got a secret little blog out there which i've been writing on recently, but pretending to be someone else over there, while fun and distracting, isn't where my basics are at.
I've missed being a word-smith. Time to bang some iron, baby.
