The first new step is shaky...

It's like I don't know how to do this.

My fingers aren't used to this keyboard? The fung shui of the room is different now? My writing muscles have atrophied? Well, whatever. Like I say to my Heiresses, you just gotta get right back on that horse, even if it does come back five-something months later. And wear something white at night.

It's been an interesting few months. Where did I leave off? No matter - it's where I'm headed that counts now. But for a bit of backstory, I'll proceed forth with this quick recap: Where once I was at the Awesome Restaurant I'm now at the Fruit Store and much happier. Soon, though, I'm going to challenge the Higher Education Bubble to sally forth into grad school so that a year from now (more or less) I will be done with this Sargasso of un/deremployment and back to a career.

And then, yes perhaps then, I will get back to Japan.

There's more to come. Much more. I will remember where the keys lie, how the energy of the room flows, and how to strengthen my muscles. Where I thought the world was empty, I have been shown that it is not.

Thank you. All of you.

The funny thing about the writing thing is that it really is like working out. The more you do it, the better you get at it.

Glad to hear that things are in somewhat of an equilibrium at scenic Cornerlot. You should use the Intertwitters more often, too!

Two quotes from Winston Churchill: “Never, never, never, never give up.” and:“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Best wishes for your future plans!

WV: "verse" Now that can't be a coincidence, can it?

What Marko said.

But I'd add that when it comes to your writing Feng Sui, you really really have to watch out for all those hidden arrows on the printed page. Another argument for eBook ...
