...on this note, I figured I'd start with a new blog. The only problem is I just can't seem to get/hold it together long enough to get the blog going. Don't laugh; I actually set this space up sometime in the summer, and this day, January 13, is the first day I've actually written in it. Yes, I know...sad, but I think I have perfectly good excuses for all my procrastinating.
1. In Fall 2008, I started grad school and it pretty much superseded any writing, reading, and most other pleasures I used to enjoy (except for cocktails and karaoke).
2. Also in Fall 2008, I started teaching as an adjunct. Keep in mind that this was in addition to my full-time day job and blended with grad school, but slightly staggered to keep me somewhat sane. I gradually moved from teaching just one course to whetting my whistle with two, and eventually three (after I completed grad school).
3. In addition, in Fall 2008, I actually began a long-term relationship, which is surprisingly (to me if not others) time-consuming. I am happy to say that I am still in that long-term relationship and that we are expecting our first child in less than a month. which is yet another reason, I've been so defunct on restarting my writing life.
But 2011 is the year for no more excuses, among other things. I will make a conscious effort (already this has hints of deja vu) to at least blog once a week, if not more.
There I think I will leave you with that. See you next week (if not sooner). (Geesh that makes me sound smug; I hope I actually follow through).
