~The Outdooress~
Long time no write, ehh….Although, honestly, that’s nothing unusual in the repotoire of how I blog.
Disappearing for months on end has been one of the blog conditions I’ve come down with many times over my years of blogging. It’s sort of like getting a fever, one must lay low for awhile, regroup, and start again with a renewed system.
Usually when I go blog quiet, I’m off doing my little adventures, leaping mountains with a single bound or swimming across rivers in the pursuit of dimpled water.
This time my reasons for absence is pure adulterous blog behavior. I’ve been cheating on Provocation with a new blog I created to capture all my outdoor experiences.
I started my new site for several reasons. First the idea was planted in my mind by someone who writes in the outdoor field and he encouraged me to step up to the water line. Second, it made sense. I spend the vast majority of my time outdoors. For me, it’s a way of life and because of it’s niche like details, I didn’t write about it often on this blog. Here at Provocation I’ve occasionally mentioned when had been off on a week long hiking trip, or fly fishing for trout in some remote place, but on the whole, I understand my way of life isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so I’ve kept it minimal and played down the best I could.
The thing is, I’ve always been as drawn to the outdoors as I am to writing, but I’ve neglected combining the two this entire time. Now I am and I’m really enjoying it. In fact, I wish I had been doing it all these years. The short amount of time I’ve put into placing my outdoor observations into blog form has been extremely welcomed within the outdoor community. I’ve been offered some incrediable opportunities and I’m pursuing all my newly discovered options.
Maybe, just maybe, all these years as I’ve struggled to find purpose and direction for my writing, the answer was waiting patiently in my fly fishing creel the whole (damn) time. I may have finally found my niche in this big old world.

As for mentioning my new writing niche here, I understand what I’m doing over there is an individual type lifestyle and certainly not for everyone which is why I’ll need my Provocation. When I watch a woman walking down the street with a squirrel purse in one hand and a shit-zoo on a diamond leash hanging from the other, I must have an outlet for such moments or I’ll burst with observational notations that stack up in my mind ~
Finding my balance,
