let's try this again

So I've let this blog languish for about the last year and a half, although it's not unusual for me - I start things and rarely finish them. However, a chat with someone who inspired me has gotten me to take another look at this blog, and maybe even post writerly things here every so often. Like every 18 months or so, as has been my wont so far. ;) Anyway, thanks, Jacob! I owe you one, if I ever make it out to Austin.

Before I launch my next piece, though, a preemptive warning/disclaimer type thing: the way the story is shaping up, it's very, very possible that it will end up dealing with some very sensitive subject matter. As I haven't written it out yet, I have no idea exactly which direction the plot will lead me; however, either way it pans out it is bound to be very controversial, and it's not meant to espouse one point of view or the other, or my own feelings on the matter. So make of it what you will, and please don't send me hate mail if you don't like the end result.

I think I'll start with the prompts I got from the last time I was supposed to keep this blog up - don't be surprised if you see some or all of the elements given in the prompts woven in. Or even none, if the story leads me in that direction.

Anyway, enough blather. On with the writing.
