Return

Thank you, Ciso, for relaunching this blog space on my website.

I have, really really oddly, the urge to blog. I think it is because I have -- for the first time in my life - writer's block. I used to make fun of my students who said they had writers block. "Writers write well or they write badly but they write. What the hell is writers block?" Except now I think, I have no purpose for writing, no point, no reason for it.

So, oddly, I want to blog something even though I don't believe anyone will read this or anyone who has read it in the past will be looking near it now. The idea that something can be read publicly seems to me an affirmation in this case of the idea that we can write and influence people. We can write and care and be purposefully in the world.

I like that no one will read this. What I just wrote is ridiculous. Yet, I like the idea that someone could read this. It makes me feel better about being a writer in general. . . if I am a writer. Which I'm doubting. Since I don't believe in writer's block but I have it anyway.

O, and here is something fun to listen to. We made it to be played before a 1930s radio play as though it were just a regular ad. I get a kick out of the cheesy style.

Enjoy. Everywhere%20Signs_004%20%282%29.mp3
