Are you there, Blog? It's me, Gerald.

Seven years ago, on this anonymous January day, I decided I didn't have enough to do. Why not start a blog? And while blogging has led to much more freelance work, I feel it has helped me most on a personal level. I often write here to gear up for other writing. I write about what's preoccupying me, that might otherwise keep me from a day's work.

Despite the trendy advice, I keep my own counsel on what to blog and not to blog. If I've held your interest all this time, I must be doing something right.
