Another Daily Deviation?!

Wed Jan 21, 2009, 12:57 AM
Wow. I'm kind of in shock.

I've been silent for a long time. Work has carried me from the US Gulf of Mexico to Geoji-do, South Korea, and as a result my life has been a hectic melange of work and travel and the occasional party.

No, I'm not done writing... but I have been on sabbatical for some time to recharge batteries and deal with life and a new daughter and all the other things that make the world turn about us.

But a second daily deviation was unexpected... awesome and very humbling, and I thank everyone who commented and favorited.

Well, tomorrow brings 20 hours of flight back to the States... so I am off to bed.

Just finished a temporary work assignment in South Korea, next I head to Durban, South Africa and pick up the drillship [i]Discoverer Clear Leader[/i] and bring it back to the US Gulf of Mexico. I have been so busy the last year I haven't written *anything* but I do have some good ideas, one of which I'm kicking around fairly regularly which means at some point it will find it's way onto the screen.

What's up with you?

Awesome! How was South Korea? Did you hear Jaedong won the OSL? (SPOILER! ;P)

I'm living in Dublin now, liking it quite a bit. Good place to live. Writing this and that, currently investing most time into a website I'm developing for someone and a little browser game I'm writing just to see if I can (answer so far: if I use libraries that hundreds of open source volunteers wrote to make me look good, I can!) (PEAR and jQuery ftw). Also tinkering still from time to time with the play and thinking of coming back here to give somewhat regular critique again because at the very least I'll be thinking about literature (and of course it'll make me feel better about myself to read the dA standard of writing ;P)

Korea was not at all what I expected it to be, and yet it was very much what I expected in that I assumed I was going to be surprised and delighted and I was. I spent the better part of a year there, working 28 days on and 28 days off, and now I'm done and headed home and I can say I'm both relieved and kind of sad... it's very hard to describe what it's like in Asia, but one thing I can say for sure is I wouldn't have missed it for the world. It's a riot of activity and a completely alien mindset from what we are used to as westerners. Also, the bar scene is VERY alien.

Dublin huh? Never been to Ireland, it's one place I would love to go.

I have mixed feelings. I need to get off my ass and get published, but I also know I won't make a living at it, although a little extra money on the side would be nice.

And yes, I do feel you about the DA standard level of writing. Sometimes I wonder about the schools in this world.

Spread the DA love around (you can copy and paste this message on their userpage)!

RULES:
1) You can hug the person who hugged you!
2) You must hug six other people, at least!
3) You should hug them in public! Paste it on their user page!
4) Random hugs are perfectly okay (and sweet)!
5) You should most definitely get started hugging right away!

Send this to all your friends, and me, if I am one.
If you get seven back, you are loved!

0-3) You are a bad friend.
4-6) You are an OK friend.
7-9) You are a good friend.
10+) You are a great friend
