Growing Pains, Coming Back To The Old Paperback Writer Blog - By N.L. Belardes
I haven't written on Paperback Writer in a long while. But it's about time I start providing some original content.
I've been enjoying the Nick 2.0 blog on ABC23 (KERO). It's a refreshing change to write media pieces that get attention from linking to cnn.com or like today, having gotten some cool info on TrekMovie.com. I know, I helped expose a secret about the JJ Abrams' prequel, but I guess that just makes me part of the Star Trek prequel lore.
Anyway, I miss just writing about the various scenes in Bakersfield, book reviews and other tidbits that people were used to reading here. I miss being the blogger gadfly.
Oh I still do it a bit, but not as much. You don't see 4 ranting posts from me a day anymore. Well, except on Twitter. There I'm writing many mini-posts that you can get on your cell phones or by finding embeds on several different blogs. I love Twitter. It's by far my new favorite social networking site. It allows me to post blogs, news, thoughts instantly right into text messages...
I'm not sure what my first serious piece is going to be back on Paperback Writer. But I'm sure it will be a rant of some kind. Or maybe just another Bakersfield Bukowski piece. I haven't done one of those in a long time... but that would mean I have to go someplace dark in the Bakersfield underground...

Welcome back N.L. we've missed you!
Well bro, it's not like you've been hiding in a cave - you've stayed on the media grid. I'll be curious to find out which NL will arise? Hmmm.....

Bringin' it back?...bring it on dude!ha!-dw
I have to bring back Paperback Writer. It's left too large of a void in my life. Sure, I've gotten fiesty in my other blogs, but nothing like Paperback Writer. I think I need it more than the community does.
Time to write about more of the local and literary topics no one is writing about. And since I just finished up a personal project, I can put some time into writing what people want to read: some good community online slugfests.
OK, I'm exaggerating. But hopefully as I continue to write, you will all be entertained and keep coming back for more.
BTW, I appreciate that people commented! Wasn't sure anyone was reading...
Bukowski's a name I haven't heard in awhile, the old barfly himself.
Back in the days of Winans and McDaris, when SEan Penn wrote street poetry. Corso was still around back then.
