Wow. Two years have gone by since my first (and only) post. It's hard for me to fathom that such a span exists between that post and this one, but there it is.

I jumped into the freelancing/ghostwriting thing feet first, and the word-of-mouth from satisfied clients has led to a stream of work that completely took me by surprise. I soon reached a point where the idea of blogging, or going on facebook, or doing anything that involved being in front of a computer when I wasn't working became abhorrent, and I ended up abandoning the effort to maintain this blog as soon as I had begun.

In recent months I have endeavored to strike a better balance between work and play. I have two young sons from my now-defunct marriage; one is five and the other is eight. Between writing for a living and spending time with them I have had little time for anything else. I have come to realize, however, that I absolutely must make time for other things, from having a social life to maintaining this blog. I read through my first post this morning, and was reminded that I began this bog with the intention of chronicling my efforts to write for a living. I don't have much to add to that theme at this moment, as I really need to take stock of the whirlwind in which I found myself for the last two years, and determine which bits of information would be helpful in that regard and which would not.

I see that 88 people have viewed this page since I first posted; I can only imagine that most or all were less than impressed with my complete lack of dedication to my mission statement. I fully intend to jump back into this blog, and post on as regular a basis as possible in service of my stated mission. For those who have visited, I thank you. For anyone else who comes along to read this, please stop long enough to say hello and let me know a bit about you, or at least a bit about what led you to check in here in the first place. As I noted earlier, I am entirely new to this process; I would surmise that any feedback I receive would at the very least help me to get a better grasp on what I could or should be doing here.

Thanks for reading; see you soon.
