Primus Verbum: The First Word

Once upon a time, a boy named phil created a blog. It was a heady experience for him, he made with the help of a friend and some bootleg webspace. The year was 2002 (grade 11), and blogs were not quite as popular and widespread as they are now. Phil was flush with pride, "Introspection's Lair" was something that no other schoolmate had, a voice that spoke to the masses (which constituted of a few friends and maybe, just maybe a random visitor). The blog evolved, switching hosts, titles, layouts, and became "Introspection's Road." The Road was first done in cracked version of Dreamweaver, then realizing the errors of his ways (and the sheer amount of time it took to pure html-ize a webpage) Phil switched to drupal. After shotgun-learning enough MySQL to install the database on his own purchased webspace, Phil finally had his own customized plot of ground on the webbernet.

Enough of the third person.

I took a year's hiatus from writing. What happened is something I'll be sharing about over the next while, but primarily I ended up taking some personal criticism of my writing hard enough to quite blogging. It hit hard enough that it's been an uphill struggle to get to where I am now, beginning to find my lost muse, beginning again to love this craft. Who knows, this round might be my best yet.

I'll see ya on the flip side, reader.
