Writing

 

Aside from American Robotnik, I freelance for The Bee and Oregon Jewish Life. My writing has been published on Sustainable Business Oregon, Oregon Music News, and a variety of blogs and crowdsourced, collaborative books. I created and edited “The Portland Bottom Line: Practices for Your Small Business from America’s Hotbed of Sustainability.”

Why the range of topics? Note the dates and consider this:

Sooner or later, a writer finds himself at a crossroads: he has exhausted his initial experience of the world and the ways of expressing it and he must decide how to proceed from there. He can, of course, seek ever more brilliant ways of saying the things he has already said; that is he can essentially repeat himself. Or he can rest in the position he achieved in his burst of creativity, subordinate everything he learned to the interests of consolidating that position and thus assure himself a place on Parnassus.

But he has a third option: he can abandon everything proven, step beyond his initial experience of the world, with which he is by now all too familiar, liberate himself from what binds him to his own tradition, to public expectation and to his own established position, and try for a new and more mature self-definition, one that corresponds to his present and authentic experience of the world. In short, he can find his "second wind."

—Václav Havel in "Second Wind," in "Open Letters: Selected Writings, 1965-1990"
