I need to write in this. I just need to write, period. But I may’s well write here! So, I’m going to. And so that there are no excuses, I’m going to give myself a writing prompt. One of the most frequent questions I’ve gotten in the last 6 months is, “Why did you come to Portland?” It’s not a simple answer, as anyone who’s heard me fumble through it could attest to. So I’m going to explore it, here, in manageable chunks of prose. Installments. Of the Portland Story. Check back for updates. Soon. Consider this the introduction.
