So, I’ve been finding (as is painfully obvious) that I haven’t been writing very much here in the past few months. This is something I should’ve expected – when I used to keep a journal, I found that I wrote far less frequently when there were big changes afoot in my life. The bigger the change, the less likely that I’d feel an urge to reflect on it, with the counterintuitive result being that the biggest events in my life are represented by several-month gaps in its written record.

Needless to say, lots of stuff’s been going down in my life recently. All good things, mind you, but lots of stuff nonetheless, and the combination of the end of grad school with a new life and a new job in a new city has meant that my mind has been focused outward, rather than inward. Exacerbating the matter is the fact that I’ve spent a sizable amount of time programming over the past few weeks, and the commensurate tunnel-vision has been crowding out any urge to write.

I seem to be emerging from the tunnel, however, and am feeling the urge to stretch my arms and start doing some creative thinking again. Plus, I got a book in the mail yesterday, which ought to jolt me back into high gear (more on that tomorrow)…
