qosAs I mentioned in my last entry, the 'job' I have now continues to consist almost entirely of free time in front of a computer terminal. This is an extrordinary opportunity to write.
But I'm finding that after a complicated romantic/creative burn-out last year, too much web-surfing, and general life pressures, my muse has taken hirself off on a long vacation. What I produce when I try to do some creative writing (stories or essays) ends up boring even myself.
If you are reading this, odds are good I'm on your Friends list. If I'm on your Friends list, I'm assuming it's because when you first visited my journal you found something intriguing or entertaining here. If you're still here - and most of you have been reading me for at least a few months now - it's because my thoughts and words continue to be of interest.
So my shamelessly fishing question of the morning is two-fold: 1) Why am I on your Friends list? What do you get out of reading my journal? and 2) If you were the editor of a magazine covering one of our mutual interests and you needed an article or essay piece, what would you ask me to write about for your readers?
I need some help priming the pump!
Thanks in advance!
