It’s time to dust off the old blog and see how things go. I took a couple years off of writing (for myself), but I’ve been craving it daily. I’ve even written a book which I’m editing (and which will be completely divorced from my identity after an earlier article earned me a cyberstalker).
That said, wanting to do something and it just being a fantasy are two entirely different concepts. Getting back to writing has meant re-establishing an order with my life and sorting out the “technical debt” which has built up. Here, I don’t mean technical debt in the sense of software development, but the general concept of choosing a solution which has consequences which will need to be dealt with eventually.
I’ve been watching as AI eviscerates so many forms of content (and careers), but despite the fact it can vomit out article after article, the humanity is obviously missing. There are days I feel I’ve read more 4D Lorem Ipsum pages than works of the mind. Maybe I’m screaming into the void, but I’d rather scream with heart than just join the bots.
I’m hoping to begin reviving this passion project and cleaning up some of my old works. Links have died, pages have faded, but I still see this blog as an outlet. I don’t expect this to be a quick or sudden change.
This is the first spark, but tinder needs to light for it to mean anything.
