Although I am reluctant to add the the volume of content in the blogosphere, unless it is to say something that has not been said yet, I find myself blogging. This is actually my second foray into blogging. I abandoned my first (see Caribbean Steppenwolf), not unlike some of my creative writing projects that I orphaned. I am looking at all the metaphors I have mixed into this first “return” post and my teacher sensibility wants to edit, edit, slash, and burn. However, I will leave the slashing and burning for the writing projects which I will go back to, as the prodigal parent. In my recent write-up of my literary auto-biography, I had to self-interrogate as to why I kept my writing under wraps. The discoveries were disappointing, but now that I am less apprehensive about being seen, warts and all, perhaps this blog will stick to my feet. After all, I am not hiding behind the pseudonym of Steppenwolf. I am claiming my name.
