To hell with topicality — a writing bleg

There is, according to some movie, no place like home.

Without getting unforgivably sappy right after the lede, Rose and I really love writing here. We’ve gotten a bit bogged down by commitments elsewhere (including each having a collection of small people who live with us and keep pestering us to be fed and occasionally bathed), and haven’t been as present here as we used to be.

But writing something simply for the pleasure of doing so, on our own terms and about whatever we happen to fancy, is something we both miss. And we miss doing it here. Especially together.

So we’d like to write something. But we don’t know quite what. One of the (innumerable) things we have in common is that we’re prone to be fascinated by just about anything interesting. We have a running joke that we would happily sit and watch a documentary about Victorian attitudes regarding ants. Also, we have opinions about stuff.

If you happen to be familiar with our writing (may the road rise up to meet you), perhaps you might have an idea for us. We’d like some suggestions. Our only request is that it lend itself to a lighthearted take. Other than that, we’re pretty much all ears.
