Welcome to The Old Blog
Below you will find entry into The Old Blog. These posts cover the entirety of The Big Change from Life Afloat to The Hiatus. It’s a long read so take your time and come back often. While it’s a big ask on my part, understanding how I ended up where – and why – I did will simplify the so-called narrative arc and make a lot less work for me trying to explain all that in each and every current post. So strap in and get started but be warned: there be dragons here.
The Old Blog is shown starting with the oldest post. This – rather thoughtful move on my part – means that, when read in order, you get to see how the whole story with all its twists, turns, and confusing diversions simply falls into place. Sort of like tossing a jigsaw puzzle into the air and having it land with each piece exactly where it belongs.
But that’s life.
Thanks for reading.
I Love It When a Plan Comes Together – Almost
In which the author relates the current status of his business plan and how his reader’s lack of understanding of how things work in the early 21st Century is the cause of the problem.
Go Tell It on the Mountain
Hello and welcome. Sorry you stumbled into a website under (re-) construction. Thanks for poking around if you have the time and use the contact form if you manage to break anything.
We Have Met the Future and It Is Past
In which the author – with some prescience – describes the rapid personification of our digital devices. Note: Looking back on this now the author notes that the current reality is so far beyond what was described in these simpler, more naive, times as to be nearly incomprehensible.
You Don’t Say
In which the author takes the concept that truth really is stranger than fiction to write a brief story that will truly mess with your willingness to suspend your disbelief even for something that is absolutely true (with names changed to protect the guilty).
Just a Quick Spin Around the Block
In which the author mourns the happiness of his newfound friends and finds out that Italian confections – regardless of you you mispronounce them – are an effective treatment for problems affecting all writers. Or, atleast this one.
Reality, It’s What You Make of It
In which the author delves into the difficulty of making something that – honest to god – happened sound like fiction to make it, at once, both more entertaining and more believable than the actual events.
