a phase and a lie

in the excitement of learning how to embed videos, i replaced words with moving and talking pictures. it was an easy way to update, the low road if you will, and it led to the lie. i thought i was ready to write, that the words and time would just appear, and i could get into the habit once again. i boldly claimed to be back.

lies.

and i don't know if i'm back now. i have plenty to say. i have drafts sitting around, collecting virtual dust, losing real meaning. i have stories to tell about speakeasies, a wedding, inaug. but i'm missing something. time? motivation? a book deal? okay, kidding, but really, when do thoughts, plans, intentions become words on the screen?

the clock starts now.
