How many times have you read a written post that someone says they are sorry they have let the blog go and promise they will pick it back up. Well, if you read on, you are about to read another.

I could write forever about excuses, but I really don’t want to do that because I feel it is more important to mention inspiration, and direction. But do know this, I have yearned to write here. The desire has burned inside of me, yet I couldn’t get here.

It has been a long six months, but the journey has been worth every step because along the way, I have learned much, met great folks, and enjoyed every second. And the best is yet to come.

There has been new inspiration, one that has been fluttering about the edge of my radar for nearly a year, and has only recently revealed itself to me. I am deeply moved, motivated, and rededicated to creating new art because of how this inspiration has taken root in my life. My eyes have been opened and my heart filled to the point that I have been given the kick in the ass to write again. Creatively and fully.

I am back.

There will be subtle changes here at Extreme Writing Now. Changes that won’t be easy to spot on the surface, but a transformation is going to take place that will help bring focus on writing, especially in the area of fiction.

There is no greater truth that the truth found in fiction. Every author speaks with their own voice. Every writer writes a little about themselves in each piece. Their tales are their life stories with a few factory options thrown in.

My truths often come out in twisted contrasts, maybe that is the turmoil that seethes deep inside of me, maybe I’m just a bit screwed up. Whatever the source of my truth, I always like the way it comes to paper, or digital.

Whatever my intentions are here, and whether they succeed or not, I hope you enjoy the trip!

Years ago I started writing Flash Fiction for just the sheer enjoyment of writing, and now it has turned into a full blown addiction. I can't quit the horse, man! Another dirty little secret about me is my ability to write all kinds of web content. SEO content, articles, blog posts, manifests; you name it, I'll write it. Looking for some help? My gun hangs at r.alex.crabtree@gmail.com
