Well. Here we are. 6 months after I purchased the domain. 6 months of telling followers that I would be launching in weeks. 6 months of my art and writing developing, changing and re-arranging itself. 6 months of not posting every waking thought into a blog post. We officially launch today. After several test podcasts, several experiments with themes, several account upgrades and hours of thought I have come to a profound realization. No matter what, this website will always be as rough or polished as I am. The chances of me being able to write a post every Thursday, a short story every other Friday and weekly podcast are slim to none.
The stock of polished essays and stories that I was supposed to be writing so that I’d have six months of writing to share on a regular schedule never materialized. Instead I continued to write poems, record them, create beats, take pictures, work through my intersecting identities through writing and produced a body of work that, while rough and eclectic and utterly unprofessional, is truly authentic to my lived experience.
So with that being said, I will post new material every week as I create it. I can’t commit to a firm schedule even though every article of how to increase readership says you should. I make a lot of art and I’d love to share it with you. So that’s what I’m going to do. Enjoy and most importantly explore! There is a ton of old and re-edited content on the site. It is not just a blog! Don’t just wait for something new to be posted. Go look through old stuff you haven’t read yet or check out one of my many galleries of photos that are up. Enjoy and increase you own self-awareness through entering in dialogue with THE WELL EXAMINED LIFE!
