If you've been following the blog you may wonder why I've been on such an extended hiatus. The answer is simple: February. February is a three month event of fear and anxiety. First, there is a family superstition. Two grandfathers, my maternal grandmother, and my only uncle on my mom's side all passed away in February. A month which is normally a mere 28 days has lurked in the shadows of the calender as the silent assassin of my matrilineal line. As such, the month is often the herald of anything I am secretly frightened of for the new year.
After soul searching and some helpful phone calls to my student loan lenders, I've decided to reboot. The hunt for a career is still on, but in the meantime I'm going to work harder on my writing, launch new projects, and regain what makes me who I am. Job hunting has been a nightmare in this economy. Worst of all- I'm a silly, creative person. The awkward formality of standard job hunting has siphoned off the source of my strength and left me feeling like a pod person. I do my best work when I'm allowed to generate ideas and joke around with others.
For the Curve Zone we're still searching for an identity. However, I hope to add more images now that I'll be working on some new image edits. As always, feel free to comment and give feedback. The Curve Zone may be getting a cousin in the near future. I have a story idea I've written a chapter to and I am considering publishing it via blog. Unlike the Curve Zone it will be 100% fiction and 0% autobiographical.
And if you're finding yourself feeling sluggish, depressed, or just uninspired, take some time to reboot your own life in some respect. People and computers are vastly different, but the one thing we share is the occasional need to start over.
