If you\u2019ve become used to frequent updates on GS (the five people who read this), then be prepared for me to start dropping out on Tuesdays and Thursdays.\u00a0 That\u2019s when I plan to start regular updates at my other blog<\/a>.\u00a0 Though, so far, I\u2019ve had plenty of inspiration for both sites.
\n
\nI know I haven\u2019t cared much in the past (what, with a one year hiatus), but regular updates are all part of my resolution for 2008.\u00a0 Well, I had many resolutions, all cooked up while flying a couch in Tunbridge Wells over Christmas.\u00a0 Part of those late night UK thoughts centered around getting back on the old writing horse, because it\u2019s really fun spending months and months on a novel and then hating it and throwing it away.\u00a0 Yeah, that\u2019s how I want to pass my time.<\/p>\n

Though writing, for me, is also a bit about exorcising demons.\u00a0 Even when I quit GS in favor of freaking out with nerve pain, family matters, and starting a business, I was still writing weird ass shit on cocktail napkins.<\/p>\n

I planned everything to take place in several stages.\u00a0 The first was to get GS up to speed, because it\u2019s actually quite fun to update the front page with my latest thoughts on shoelaces.\u00a0 The next stage was to begin somewhat regular updates at the other blog.\u00a0 Then, finally, I would move back into constructive personal writing. Maybe start another novel, or hire a PI and write a book about my idiot father.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 Given that it\u2019s taken me eight months to get to stage two, I think I have plenty of time to figure out the next step.\u00a0 I\u2019m having trouble with the other blog, anyway, because I feel like I should be more professional over there.\u00a0 I can\u2019t post an entry that starts with vodka and ends with mushroom cultivation at a commune in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Or maybe I can.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see if I lose my mind enough over the next few weeks to just turn the other blog into Little GS.<\/p>\n

So, today, I\u2019m working on a post for that blog.\u00a0 There are meetings here at work all day, and bored co-workers looking to derail me, and my grandfather is coming into town and demanding entertainment, so we\u2019ll see\u2026\u00a0 My current plan is to sit in a bathroom stall for an hour or two with a notepad and my laptop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
