i woke up this morning thinking about Muses and realized that i should apologize for the focus of my writing over the last several months.
my writing time and energy have been going to Liminal States rather than poetry and stories, and i am still learning how to let blog posts be inspired and infused by Muses. “blog” is such an anti-seductive word … and not only that, because i was doing political blogging and wanted the layout to be as neutral and readable as possible, i changed the theme from its usual hot pink to the vanilla blue-and-white WordPress default. it’s a difficult environment.
however, i know that’s no excuse for my failure to do you justice recently, and over the next few months i will prioritize paying you more homage. even though i haven’t been writing about you, i’ve been thinking about you and how fortunate and grateful i am for your favor. i’ll try to do a better job of showing it.
as an oh-so-modest first step to get myself in the right frame of mind, i’ve reset Liminal States to the hot pink “goodfell3s” theme

… and after getting feedback on a post i’ve been working on that the color scheme was, um, off-putting*, i’ve reverted the theme back to the so-much-less-flouncy WordPress default, formerly known as “Kubrick”. sigh. the blogosphere really isn’t a seductive place.
* okay, the actual wording involved “pepto-Bismol” and “makes me nauseous”. point taken.
