. . . but now seems as good a time as ever to revive this damn blog from the dead.

I acknowledge that I haven’t written here since August, and letting it die wasn’t exactly intentional, it just sort of happened. Life happens when you’re not blogging, just as life happens when you leave off the hashtag. I’ve wanted to write, but it seemed I never had time, and when I did have time, I didn’t have any energy or interest because my blog was the last thing I wanted to think about.

Really, though … this thing has always been on my mind, and if I’d have blogged half as much as I thought about blogging, I wouldn’t be blogging this now. (Ridiculous, isn’t it?)

Anyway, the past year I’ve struggled with what to do with this thing, and I can’t say I’ve really got any definite answers but I’m just going to see where it takes itself. I have a couple requests of posts to write from friends/readers, a Moleskine of scribbles of ideas, and hear things like “you should really blog about that” in conversation with friends/colleagues on a regular basis . . . so yeah, I’m getting the hint that I need to get my ass in gear and make time to just do this, for Pete’s sake. (To this day, I don’t know who “Pete” is that we’re referring to there.)

It’s also been suggested to me on many occasions that I should start a more niche blog for my music writing, and get more into that. I’ve been in talks with some music blog/publication folks in past months to do some collaboration on that front, but nothing has materialized yet because I can’t seem to make a frickin’ decision. I’m not against either idea, but would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

So . . . no, I’m not dead (if you follow me on Twitter, you’d know that), I’ve just been busy and unorganized, for lack of better excuse. Anyone who knows that damn redhead knows she can’t stay silent for long, so consider this a head’s up (warning?) that I’ll be back to the blogosphere soon.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
