Yo it's been a while

I was in Minnesota and Denver and man were they great trips. I saw folks I hadn't seen in a while. As it always goes, the times spent was wonderful but too short and too fleeting, one day. To the folks I didn't get a chance to say hi to... I'll be back.

As you can see we have a new post from Malli! New Curry Collective member and it was awesome! I'm hoping I can rope in one or two more folks to contribute and honestly if anyone wants to throw in some you do not have the be of the Desh to contribute, just bring the heat, or shiitake if you will...

So, I haven't been reading lately and I haven't been writing or doing much of anything except for traveling and talking with people I care for... what was my take away? Incidentally, that I need to write more and that I need to start cultivating this desire to express myself more and more. As such, I'm going to, ::deep breath:: start releasing a story that I've been writing and editing for the past five years, yes, for all you TEN people that occasionally read this you'll get a chance to read a story that I began in a really tumultuous time in my life and let me know what you think.

I started writing this when I was just out of college in 2004 and haven't really written anything substantial since 2006, so the bulk of it has been in editing and fretting over this being stupid, cheesy, irrelevant whatever. But someone dear to me explain their take on, art, and I think it makes sense. That art, whether good or bad, is really unimportant. The important part, the vital part is creating it, taking care of it and letting it go. And this is a story that back then I needed to write and now I simply need to prepare and finish so I can move on to writing about fishing and other mundane things that will only interest me... this story, is about loneliness and dreams and at the time, post-college, were really the only things I had.

So, expect Chapter 1 sometime this weekend.
