I did it!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After months–maybe even years!–of not being able to get back into my WordPress blog (this thing here that you’re reading, if you’re reading it)–I finally found my way back in. Why was I so nimroded about finding it in the past? What made me able to surpass that state of nimrodery? If I had to guess, it could be those two parking tickets, pile of taxes that I have an extension for, and giant wad of grading in my backpack. They just knew how to conspire and set me up with something more interesting.<\/p>\n
It’s also maybe a bit fitting, because after a big hiatus from writing (2 new jobs in 2 years, one new kid, and just a general need for a break), I had a glimmer of a way back into something I’d set aside. Could be just a glimmer; the manuscript in the proverbial drawer could very well be in its final resting-place. And it’s not that much of a surprise that on spring vacation (spring vacaaaaaaaaaytiooooooon! Like Captain Cavemaaaaan!), the abandoned dry land that is the wellspring of my creativity perks up with just a little water. But maybe this is a sign that that little glimmer (hello, mixed-metaphor, my old friend) will turn into water and yadda yadda yadda and I should go become one with my taxes before I take a certain moppet to get a haircut–<\/p>\n
but let us not forget the great miracle that happened here, which is that I got back into the blog!<\/p>\n
Yahoo!<\/p>\n
Captain Caaave maaaaaaan!<\/p>\n
