That bike ride did me good. I've been thinking about what to add to my site and there will definitely be a photography section. Found some old assignments from photography classes and I've got a digital camera and a scanner, so there really is no excuse. Naturally there will also be plenty of writing, including the long lost European bike trip in serial form. I'll have to set up a simple way to publish new pages, such as an editing program that can upload.
It would be nice to think I could make a living from freelance writing. Obviously it's possible, but I'm not sure if I have the energy or motivation. I've been commissioned to write a 2000 word piece at $600 per 1000, but I also have 3-4 fantastic ideas for features that would surely be purchased, if only I could be bothered doing the research. And then there are opinion pieces. And creative stuff. As I gradually untangle myself from corporate news brain patterns (again), I might deliver. If I do, I'll be moving out of Sydney. Even if I don't, I'll be scheming and dreaming. Give notice, pack up life, move to the desert like the book Generation X, damn the torpedoes and write.
Whatever appears here will take time. My online friends are heading to another virtual world which is where the fragment of pic at the top is from, but I might leave them to it.
