Hello folks, welcome to the twelfth (12th) writing club update. Just to pick a random book off of my shelf, chapter 12 of Foucault’s Pendumul Umberto Eco begins with
Sub umbra alarum taurum
Which apropos of the topic of that book, is the Rosicrucian motto. Something about being under the protection of God’s wings–anyway, among other things, they were like a religious puzzle group that loved leaving little hints for fellow obsessives to follow.
Speaking of obsessed brainiacs…!
As always, all are welcome to participate in the writing club, but these are our current roster of regular participants. Those who do battle against the great enemy indolence, by their pens, pencils, or keyboards. I look forward to hearing your updates!
So while I haven’t hit my full stride again as far as daily creative writing, I did manage a first: I wrote an inaugural blog post for my personal website! It’s something I’ve thought about for years, and finally I guess had the gumption to actually go through with it. Actually, since I’ve been doing less creative writing, I’ve been finding that creativity has been kind of spilling out of me at the seams of text messages, emails, and website updates. It’s like I got used to daily creative writing, and now my body misses it, so finds any chance it can to express itself.
Anyway, it’s associated with my real world persona/name, which I try to keep seperate from this more authentic place, so I’m not going to share a link, but still wanted to share the progress. It felt really good to do some longer form writing again.
I think I’ll continue nurturing my long-neglected realname web presence. So for the coming period, I’m going to work on my named personal website and write another article, probably about some technical topic or other I’m learning about.
Hey, that’s great! In case you feel like sharing in the future, I’d love to add it to my “neighbour” links, so more people can find it! And I also can point you to some webrings to join, if you want 😄
Thanks! I’m not at that stage yet, but will definitely follow up with you when I do get there. :)
Oooo congrats on getting personal blog set up! I bet that felt like a good accomplishment. Plus it’ll be nice to have a collection of your writings you can look through :) i hope you’re able to get a decent amount of eyes on it
