Briefly

~zampano

I have a longer post or two on the stove, but nothing quite ready yet. But as I try to get a tad better about actually posting (both here and to my main blog), I’m hoping to do more frequent smaller posts here. We’ll see how much difference this actually ends up making.

Despite having been away for so long, I’m certainly glad to see that The Midnight is still jumping. Finding any sense of community seems to get harder and harder by the day, and even though I wouldn’t exactly consider myself a “regular” or whatever, it’s comforting simply to see activity continue. I was also gratified to see that my blog[1] is still on Writer’s Lane; than you for that, m15o!

For all my complaints about lack of community, I have a hard time really *doing* anything about it. I struggle with pessimism under most circumstances, and doubly so when I’m trying to accomplish something whose success isn’t entirely dependent on me. Plus, trying too hard both makes my interacts far less successful and much harder, so often it’s a case of having to keep myself from trying. The welcome I’ve received here means a lot, and I only have been out of pocket for so long due to not really feeling like I had much to say. Hopefully smaller posts like this will help (and not be the same complaints over and over), and I miss writing in general.

I'm still using your theme and loving it.

You were (hoping to see that word morph to 'are') one of the more significant draws for me.

I've always much to say, but quickly wind up convinced word-mediated mutual understanding is a dream even the most capable pipe would laugh hysterically over the thought of taking on.

Something like that....
