So, I've taken an unintentional break from this blog. It has been a crazy busy summer and I took time away from here to redefine my intent in blogging. I've decided to use this as a tool to simply practice my craft of writing. I'll try to post more regularly and offer more diverse postings. I'm also part of a writing collective (http://www.youngandfictitious.com/) so you can watch for me there too. There will definitely be some crossover between these two forums. I am very excited to be writing with others. The other blog will have some time, topic and space constraints so this blog will be an outlet for me.
I am suffering from the pangs of decompression since returning from Burning Man on Labor Day. The Burn was amazing again this year, my 5th consecutive. Travelling with friends, camping with amazing people, viewing world class art, the hard-hitting experience of the desolation of the desert all combine to inspire like never before. Fitting back into society, normal, mundane reality is always awkward. I feel boxed in. yet at the same time sense larger horizons, socially and artistically. I've got some projects simmering for the upcoming weeks and months. I'll keep you posted. Here's a run down:
1) the writing collective
    a) an article is in the works about Burning Man, likely to be published by the end of this month
    b) a pictorial on found art
    c) serialization of one of my novellas
    d) a commentary piece on a DJ friend's performance at a dub step venue
2) For Burning Man, my camp mates started an awesome project last year. which I hope to assist in revamping for next year. The theme camp I camp with is called Black Rock Spatial Delivery, "We Take Stuff Places." As on on-playa delivery service we had a great time with this years inaugural "Virgin Letters Project." We asked veteran Burners to write love letters to themselves on their first year camping at Burning Man. We then took those letters and randomly delivered them to virgins this year.  The resulting interactions enriched the Burn for me as never before. I'm super eager to carry on the Project.
3) I'll be formatting a kickstarter campaign for my rebooted educational path. Hopefully I'll be able to put together enough support to pay for a certification program as a yoga teacher and nutrition consultant. Watch here for more details. 
4)And lastly this blog will not be an update, musing, commentary on my life blog. I want to focus on writing content, this post will be an exception rather than the rule; future entries will be more about the craft of writing and the results of the craft.
G'day!
