Yes, I know, I have not posted nor commented on the blogs of others in a while. I think that this is due to a perfect storm of reasons, which I will call the ‘Funk.’
Elaboration of said Funk:
A. Pesach got in the way, y’know?
B. I got really sick on the last day of Pesach – at a hotel, no less. I’m still recouping.
C. I think I have reached something of a crossroads w/r/t what this blog is all about. I have finished a couple stories that I am allowed to keep up -of the unfinished ones, one is in indefinitive limbo, and the other (The Kollel Guy) is, well, it’s at the end of Season One so to say (Season Two will soon arrive, with a couple twists on its horizon). But my first nonfiction serial posting (In a Previous Life) really does display to me that the blog is heading in more of a direction that I’m going to be more comfortable with on the whole (assuming that I can keep blogging).
———————————————————————————–
In general, I’m busy with a million things (a lot of them being articles), but have a very hard time garnering the motivation I need to get them done. It’s not just a matter of motivation, it’s also the problem of not knowing how to deal with editors when you have had zero experience with them (any of them – I’m really brand new at this) in the past. I’ve already been told by one arts editor that I displayed a lack of ‘effecacious proffesionalism’ to him on one occasion (honestly, I think that he would even admit at this point that it was just a case of his ego getting in the way of things, creating an issue when there really was none, but that’s a different story).
Something that I’m learning about making it in this world is that one has to be there own cheerleading squad. If you can’t do that, you’re gonna get totally hosed. Some people have this ability from birth, others must work on it, while yet others will never get it – but might get by if they pretend they do. I think I fall into the last of the three categories.
Getting back on the blogging horse is never easy (for me at least). I don’t know how much I’m going to be able to blog over the next couple weeks, or how things I put up will ‘look’, but I do know that something has changed – so stay tuned.
