Followers will notice that I've just pulled the content of Life Support and two story seeds from the blog. The story behind this is that I've finally (after four years) finished a draft of Life Support and will be revising it in a month or so with an eye toward publication. Likewise, I've decided to plant at least one of the story seeds to see what I can grow from it. I'm also working on several other stories.
So what am I going to do with the blog? A lot more than I have been, certainly. I will continue to post poetry and lyrics as a form of self-publishing from time to time. Also, over the past few months, I've been writing some carefully considered pieces as comments to posts in other folks' blogs. This blog will be a natural environment in which to develop some of these themes more broadly and to post essays exploring other areas of interest. The topics that come to mind are far ranging - from technology and teamwork to community and social policy, meditations on holy writ of many faiths, the role of faith in life, both public and private, and speculation on the future.
So we'll see if this blog goes where I project it will. Expect a predominance of commentary and little if any fictional prose. If my commentary strikes a chord with people, perhaps it will attract a little attention to the ideas. At the same time, more of my energy is going to go into fiction so, hopefully, you will eventually be able to pick up samples of my fictional prose at your local newsstand on a regular basis for a nominal fee.
I'm interested in what folks think about the change in direction. You probably won't know what to think until you start seeing some of the new commentary, but feel free to comment. I'm always listening.
