It&#8217;s time to put that into practice.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t see myself talking about politics on this blog any more. For one thing, that&#8217;s what my writing on The Independent is going to be about. For another, well, my contract includes a non-compete clause and I keep to my word. That part of my blogging is over.<\/p>\n<p>So, what am I going to blog about?<\/p>\n<p>Writing comes to mind. Excerpts from my current stories. Publicity pieces. Updates are a given, so are thoughts and lessons learned from writing. Maybe &#8212; maybe &#8212; experimental stories. Shots and stories from events, if I ever get around to them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m learning other things too, picking up other interests. I&#8217;ve been wandering into the fields of everyday carry and tools, martial arts, spirituality and meditation. If I think of anything worth sharing, it&#8217;ll come up here. As a corollary, reviews of stuff I&#8217;ve used along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Multimedia? Maybe. In my short time with the Independent I&#8217;m learning about integration of media into online content. How to do it properly, and its benefits. When I learn enough, you&#8217;ll probably see more pictures here. Videos, even.<\/p>\n<p>I get the sense 2014 is going to be an interesting year. \u00a0Evolution awaits, and this blog will evolve with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heads up: my blog is shifting its focus from politics to different aspects of my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[57,235],"class_list":["post-618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-announcement","tag-philosophy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
