Take off and absentia.

It's been a while, but that's how it usually goes with me. I am horribly inconsistent with blog upkeep, especially when I know that no one is reading. Why is that, that I am more compelled to write for an audience than I am for myself? I think that's interesting, and very telling of what kind of person I am.

I'm transitioning, though. 2008 was a deciding year for me, a baseline where I determined what I would do and how I would approach my career; a jumping off point if you will. Well I've jumped. I am in the air and flapping my arms, and thanks to a few updrafts, I'm learning how to fly. 2009 is going to be full of hard work, but it is already the most rewarding year of my life, and I'm not even halfway through the first month!

So my apologies for the absence, but I've been formulating plans and hatching plots. Things are afoot now, balls are rolling, and I'm living my life with gratitude and determination. I plan to make entries here a more regular occurance; perhaps if I become a part of, or cultivate some semblance of community here I'd be more inclined...until then i'll have to wait for situations like today, where I'm in a coffee shop while my car's oil is being changed, and I have little else to do.

Be on the lookout, though. A website for my professional writing is in development and in all likelihood this blog will be fed into there.

Ciao!
