Somewhere between the beginning and the end the middle falls. It’s rarely as exciting as the beginning nor as nostalgic as the end. Sometimes the middle just is. I often think you can learn more about someone by how they act in the middle than at any other time, which leads me to my current middle on this blog.
My middle hasn’t been very good. The next more recent post was almost a year ago, and I’ve used plenty of excuses in the interim to justify why I haven’t picked up the proverbial pen. For awhile, I blamed it on writer’s block. Then it became a question of time. Behind every excuse was a much more difficult question to answer: what did I actually want to write about?
Current events are always options. History adds a certain flavor, too. But ultimately it comes back to why I started this blog in the first place: I love words. So it seems silly to not write about what matters to me without expectations that it will matter to anyone else. Now it’s time to see if I can make my middle something worthwhile.
