Okay I’m back.

WTS has finally been switched over to TypePad with only a few posts lost. Which is okay by me. I’m going to reconceive this space anyway.

Here’s the deal. Ever since shutting down Central Booking in February, I’ve been migrating slowly away towards work and projects online and trying to devote myself more to to my writing. I’ve got a book to finish editing in this coming year and want writing, for newspapers, magazines, radio and live performance. I’ve still got some plans for the Virtual Book Tour and I’m going to keep this site going but professionally and energywise, more of myself will be spent over here.

So what to do with Where There’s Smoke? I have no desire to become a celeb blogger (as if I could) or use this site as a piece of an empire. Rather, I think I’m going to flesh out what it has always been, a map of my mind, a sketchpad for ideas, a guide for me to both the scary and bright hallways of my mind. I forget 90% of what my brain whispers back to me in a day. I’d be nice to have some record of it.

The design will most likely look the same but I’ll overhaul the links. What I post will be less professional, more personal. I might have a space to indicate what I’m working on, but other than that, career stays elsewhere. That might make it less interesting to read. So be it then.

Look for changes sometime in the new year. I’ll just be lighting an occassional candle here until then.
