It’s funny. I never had any interest in Japan. I just ended up getting a job here and so I came for what I thought would be one year. Thirteen years later and here I am, at home.
What made me want to write again was journal entry that I heard read aloud the other day in the midst of a documentary about the band Morphine. I’m often only the slightest nudge away from writing and posting, but since I’ve got other things that I’m constantly working on, without that extra bit of inspiration, I let it slide for long periods of time.
You’re right about combining skill sets. I’m getting closer to finding the right way to do that, but I haven’t quite figured it out yet.
