I’m not exactly sure what this blog will be about. It’s a reincarnation of an old project, and although I’ve purged all the old content, you smarty-pants out there will be able to find it, I’m sure. Regardless of that, though, my life’s about different things these days.
I find myself in a grey zone on so many levels. I’m living with friends temporarily because I don’t know where or how I want to live. I’m writing a lot, but it’s tentative stuff at the moment, because I haven’t quite committed. I’m full of stories I’ve kept close and quiet for a long time, and I don’t think that I want to keep living that way for much longer. And yet the alternative scares me senseless. Sometimes I think seeing pieces of myself in other people’s work is as satisfying as if I could say them myself. So I’m reading and listening carefully these days, and watching the world with interest.
I’m still working in libraries, and while I enjoy my work and think I’m good at it, I can’t help but feel that I need a more creative career. I’m taking writing classes. I’d like to learn more about photography. I’m not young anymore and I’m not yet old. I haven’t found answers to any big life questions.
Yep, so basically, all of this is to say that this will be a forum for navel-gazing nonsense. Read on, if you care to.
