Hiya. Thanks for coming!
Obligatory note about just doing this for the first time: We'll see how this goes. My first challenge is figuring out how to integrate older material without just uploading everything at once. So for a while, at least, things may seem to lack chronology. I'm just working on forming a base first, then I'll sort everything else out. Ideally, in the future, new material will be uploaded as it's created. Speaking of ideals: I don't really know what my intentions here are. Mostly, I want to store my written energies somewhere that, as much as it pains me to admit, is a bit more secure than the red notebook I carry around (and is the URL's namesake). If nothing else, this should accomplish that. It should also push me to consider what I do in a more artistic light: things take on different meaning when you release them to foreign eyes and ears. I struggle with the question of who art is for: the artist, or the public? For me, it's been impossible to consider what I've created to be worth anything to anyone else, because no one's ever heard or seen any of it, excepting brief moments of sharing. But if I'm committing to putting this out there, then I actually like the notion of needing to refine things to a certain degree, to level the playing field in a sense. I don't mean sterilize: I mean refine. There's a difference, and I'll work hard to stay on the right side of that line. I have a life goal to publish something creative. Maybe a book, maybe an anthology, I don't know. This feels like a reasonable step in that direction.
