Renegotiating My Inspiration

Hey gang, Jason here.

For those of you following along post-insomnia radio, it’s time to offer an explanation into what’s been going on with my writing. My first love was prose, well into my teen years and extending into my early 20’s, and without much warning that creative well seemed to dry up. Years later, Insomnia Radio allowed my creative side to flourish again…

But shortly after ending my role with IR, the writing bug came back and bit me quite aggressively in the ass. But I made a mistake – I unearthed an unfinished manuscript from almost 12 years ago, based on personal events, and for a short time breathed some new life in it.

Then, 3 weeks ago – two of the actual people it’s characters were based on unexpectedly popped back into my life after roughly 7 years of being MIA. The karma was good, the friendships resumed, and all seemed to be right with my past. The unexpected side effect was that the inspiration to finish this very dusty novel vanished, as if writing it was therapy I no longer needed.

So friends, I regrouped, and started a new novel that once again sparked my imagination, and although I’m only three chapters in, the ideas are barraging me and for the very first time, I am confident that at some point in my life, I WILL be a published writer. And if not, you’ll have a quality audiobook to listen to.

With that said, I’m going to turn THIS domain, jasonevangelho.com, into a journal of sorts. I’ll post original music, poetry, short stories, and simply just be myself here.

BUT – I’ve also purchased a domain name for the REAL upcoming novel and I’ll be pointing all of you towards it soon. I intend that to be my return to podcasting…

The last 3 months have been a bumpy ride, but the ship is starting to right itself, and I’m sorry for the silence, as well as sparking your interest in Mister Faded Glory and then revoking it :-( I won’t abandon it, but I realize I don’t need to be married to it either.

so thanks for sticking around!

All my best;
Jason
