I took a hiatus from the blog last month, featuring old writings from my college years. It seems to have worked well and so I plan on continuing occasionally. I also stopped posting on Saturday and Sunday, allowing for a nice weekend break (though I tend to write those post during the week anyways) and less posting each week. Hopefully it allows you, my faithful readers, to keep up and not get to overwhelmed. Thanks for reading.

I’ve also been working on some other writing projects at the same time. I started my citizen journalist career here, representing North Minneapolis, and had my first story published recently, about the closing of a local coffee shop. I’ve got another one coming up and I’m hoping to continue to do more stories in the future, particularly about things going on in my neighborhood and community. If you live in North Minneapolis and know of something that would make a good news article, send it my way.

I’m gonna start submitting some writings to other magazines and what not down the road here, but I’ll try and stay faithful to maintaining the blog as well. If anyone has an inside connection to a magazine or paper that you think might take some of my writing, please let me know.

Well that’s it for personal updates for the month.

Now might be a good time for you to subscribe if you haven’t:

p.s. I just bought the domain ariahfine.com (finally!) and put a site up. Let me know what you think.
