Guess Who’s Back? In this time of quarantine, my attempt at daily blogging

I was trying to think of a title for this post, and then just now a line a the theme song from one of my favorite sit-coms, “Martin,” popped into my head, so there you go.

But anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted because I simply haven’t had the motivation to write. If I’m honest, I barely have it now. But I do want to start being more consistent with this blog. I have a lot to say, so here I am again, giving it another try. Plus, like the rest of America, and most of the world for that matter, I’m quarantined.  And also like so many others, I’m out of work until further notice due to the coronavirus. So, with nothing to do all day, and nowhere to go, there’s no better time to begin again than the present…then again, that’s always the case… well maybe usually the case.

I’m starting a new series called I Hate Talking About Race But…, because I do hate talking about race, but I have a lot to say on the subject. Talking about race can be so incendiary and painful that it’s hard to touch on it, but at the same time it’s so necessary that it’s hard not to. So anyway, I will be going there.

Of course, I will also be talking about my pursuit of a writing career. Like, I live for the day that I get paid for doing this.

 I’m still working on the same screenplay I previously mentioned; I really need to finish that soon. Then I have another one waiting in the wings of my mind. I also have a book on deck that I need to get to too. And me blog, yeah (that was a bad attempt at an accent that I’m not really sure of, perhaps Irish?)

I recently bought a new laptop with my tax return. Before that I was working off and old broken-down laptop with a busted screen. No really, I had to hook it up to a monitor from an old desktop I used to have – wait, used to have? I still have it. Anyway, it was so archaic in technology years (the laptop from like 2010, and the monitor the early aughts) that I was too afraid to hook it up to the internet. So, I just used it for typing instead…and playing games like spider solitaire and mahjong. When I needed to post, I used my mother or my sister’s computers, but now I have my own – praise Jesus, that feels nice!

Now that I’m quarantined, I’m going to attempt to post every day. I know that’s a tall order for me, even when I’m home all day, but my issue has never been one of time. I’ve always had time. My issue has been one of faith and motivation: faith that I could effectively get my point across, and the motivation to even attempt to do so.  Often times I don’t have either. Right now, I have a bit of both.

So, come go with me. Let’s see…

P.S.

By the way does anyone even use P.S anymore? Do millennials and gen Zs even know what that means? Just curious.

This is probably going to be the shortest post you get from me in a while.
