I haven't written for my blog for a long time partly because I've been working on freelance articles and other projects, but mainly because (as I expected) I was having trouble deciding on topics that would be relevant. I initially thought I could always write about books, if nothing else, but I felt it was more important to submit those to the freelance site I write for currently.
However, as my new blog title suggests, I'm now going to try and focus more broadly on social, scientific, and still literary issues. I freely admit that I have no extensive training in any area save literature, but besides being open to counterarguments, I feel inspired by an Edward Said book I read recently, which encouraged people to not feel bound by specialties, to be willing to risk being wrong instead of remaining silent.
So I'm going to be quite seriously going out on a limb, again at the title suggests, on many issues, but I'll always say what I honestly feel and, as always, hope anyone reading this knows that I care far, far less about posting my opinions than I do hearing others, perhaps even supported by professional expertise.
Enjoy!
