Back at it...

Forgive the hiatus.  In the interest of full disclosure, I'll also admit that my motives for returning to blogging are purely experimental and selfish.

For one, I am trying to learn more about SEO 9Search Engine Optimization) which is not at all interesting to anyone who doesn't know about that, so--- moving on.

From a selfish standpoint, I'm trying to advance me career.  What career, you ask?  Good question.  I guess I should bring you up to speed...

Long gone are the days of Director of Campus Ministry at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy.  I left my post there in June (and stopped getting paid last week) to pursue a full-time life in the theater; acting, writing, directing, etc.

I'm stoked by my latest decision.  I'm also scarred out of my wits.  To put it lightly, my financial security is gone.  As such, I'm turning to odd jobs to help support my lifestyle.  Things like freelance writing, blogging, voice work, etc. have become a new part of my life.

I've moved down the shore (temporarily) to focus on playwriting.  I'm almost finished the first draft of my new show.  When writer's block was rearing its ugly head, I switched over and began writing a novel about a pre-teen's struggle with self-knowledge and bullying.  I'm proud of them both, so far.

Well, there's my update.  It's good to be back in the blogosphere (we'll see how long this stint lasts) and I'll catch you on the flip side.
