Reboot

It's been quite a while since I've regularly kept a blog. For a period of roughly two years, from 2005 to 2007, I was a frequent blogger on Myspace (remember when Myspace was big? those were the days...), posting initially a mix of stuff from my own life and short reviews of things that interested me. As time wore on, the latter came to dominate my posts, a byproduct of a continually dimming personal life. I don't want to say I completely cut myself off from engaging with the world, but increasingly the world became a place I would occasionally visit, rather than live in. By the start of 2008, I'd lost interest even in posting regulars reviews, and the blog essentially died as an ongoing concern.

I've been disappointed in myself for letting the writing slack off. For someone who calls himself a writer, not having a regular outlet for words to air in public is an unconscionable omission. I'm going to rectify that starting now. I wish to re-engage with both the real world and the online one. I need to write. More importantly, I need to write regularly. So I'm making a little informal pact with myself here: I will write something on this blog every day, even if what I blog about is inane and unworthy of more than a cursory glance. My hope is as I continue posting, I'll get back into the groove, and soon the quality of the work will match the quantity.
