Blog

In preparation for an upcoming sabbatical, I started a blog in 2011. I wanted to limber up for the sabbatical--writing for pure pleasure, writing my way toward what interested me, engaging with the world around me. The result was Joyous Crybaby, which I steadfastly maintained for a year and a half. As I have turned to other projects, it's fallen fallow, but its subjects are still close. I highly recommend blogging as an activity that fosters the writing habit and, if you devote yourself to it, can yield high quality work.
