Right-Brain Rehabilitation

I've spent far too long away from my keyboard, far too long without typing or writing or creating anything new. This isn't good for me. One of the things I try to do is keep myself balanced. My passions include both logical and artistic endeavors, from writing software to writing poetry, from logic puzzles to art. I enjoy creativity and learning, and I try to keep those balanced.

But recently I've found myself leaning too far to the left-brain, the logical side of life. While my creativity is still around, it's typically focused into software projects and thoughts about science and psychology. There isn't much effort going into the artistic side of my life, and I feel there should be.

That is one of the reasons for the creation of this blog. One of the other reasons is that I'm joining the Navy, and wanted a place for my friends to see how I'm doing. But the main reason for this site is just to get my creative flow back, to start putting words down, and to get inspired.

I've had a few thoughts recently about books and stories I'd like to write. And while I know I'll probably never finish a full-length novel any time soon, I would like to try my hand at the short-stories. I just need to find my starting point, and a little inspiration.

Anyway... Here's to hoping this site will bring out my creative side.
