writing
I haven’t been writing much. For a while. And I’ve been busy, but I’ve been not-busy too. I just haven’t feel any enthusiasm. There’s intimidation there, too, balancing the desire to tell the world a story. I’ve been reading through a couple technical blogs (when it’s all about programming (or any one topic), is it a blog or a column?) at work lately, and I came across this good nudge:
And that’s exactly why people who are afraid they can’t write should be blogging. It’s like exercise. No matter how out of shape you are, if you exercise a few times a week, you’ll inevitably get fitter. And if you write a small blog entry a few times every week, you’re bound to become a better writer. If you’re not writing because you’re intimidated by writing, well, you’re likely to stay that way forever.

And neither is my desire just to entertain the world, it’s to stay in contact with you. I know the feeling of saying “Hey, so-and-so is alive!” upon seeing someone’s new post. So yeah, that’s me waving at you. Still here.
Man, I need a fresh page now.
Thanks for the wave! I always look forward to hearing what you are doing.
That game sounds like a complicated thriller–something you would enjoy. Actually, it sounds all to realistic. Did anyone capture the middle east? I think someone had better stop Iran before they try to blow up the world.
Cheers,

they are “topical blogs.” ;) columns are only on official online zines (or, of course, in print). You gotta be a “column” of the publication…
At least that’s my librariany take on it. ;)
Miss you guys. Every month or so I re-remember that your blog exists and catch up. I’m really looking forward to your Christmas visit. We have a few good new members of the “games at raina’s house” gang.
