A New-ish Direction
First off, I finally got around to updating to WordPress 2.5.1, and it’s very pretty and elegant on the inside. I love it.
Secondly, I’ve been long puzzling out what to do with this blog, and I believe I’ve hit on an idea. I just picked up Natalie Goldberg’s latest book, Old Friend From Far Away: The Practice of Writing Memoir, and I think what I’m going to do is to kill two birds with one stone and publish what I write as practice while reading the book here on the ole blog.
How does that sound to you?
Then, what’s going to happen is, an editor is going to happen upon this one day, become enthralled, and publish the whole shebang after giving me a million dollars. Does that sound like a plan or what? I love it!
So, I’ll be back. After I’ve written something.
If anyone would like to pick up the book themselves, and do the practices as assigned, feel free to leave a link to your posts in the comments!
I am glad to have you back in action here no matter what format you choose to pursue. You have been sorely missed. Write On, Sistah!
Thanks, Tony, and thanks for continuing to check in. You’ve no idea how much I appreciate having hung on to at least one audience member. Well, two, if you count my brother.
been a quiet fan for quite a bit but never really spoken up (although now I’m inspired to begin blogging myself).
Just dropping word to say it’s good to hear from you again, and it’ll be nice seeing you post more. Tony isn’t the only one out there.

nyiddle! Thank you so much for taking the time to say that. I really appreciate it, and it helps to spur me on to do some writing.
Send me a link to your blog when you’ve got it started–I’d love to check it out!
I like that plan. And happy birthday!
Thanks, Brad!
Write something, woman!
Damnit. I’m working on it. Soon, soon.
Well, I think I’m going to do that on my more “writerly, professional” site: http://victoriagonia.com.
I’m going to keep this for babbling. I think. Who the hell cares.
