The Long Way Back To Expertscolumn

It was a lively place to be then, at Expertscolumn, the melting pot of writers from diverse other websites -- until what I call "The Great Crash" had us all scampering in different directions!

I must admit, then as now, that I wrote/write spontaneously, and for that I should receive credit with the honest transparency of my mind. Like free association, in Psychology, without external constrainst or restrictions.

In short, I tell it like it is, hopefully in my structured mind that every so often is prone to going off course. Be that as it may, the chaos that may ensue, I hope, doesn't in any way deviate from the correct grammatical rules and sytactic structures that Expertscolumn requires. Or demands.

At any rate, my purpose in coming back to Expertscolumn is three-fold: First, to regain "paradise lost" in

terms of friendship, meaning to touch base again, like I said, with writer friends I lost 3 to 4 years ago; second, to release creative juices in what otherwise Facebook or Twitter is unable to induce, and; third, to start earning again for our efforts at writing and making fun. 

And lest we forget, Expertscolumn, after all these years, is what is left standing after the other writing sites, like Triond, Bukisa, Wikinut, Bubblew, etc virtually fell into decay.  

Modesty aside, I was once, for a brief shining moment, entrusted by our Administrator Niks to be a community manager of his site except that by that time things were brewing as though a storm were about to unleash the unthinkable, no thanks to the mutiny of other writers on the site. Well, of course, that was

quite beside the "Great Crash" that happened next. The rest is history.

I bear no ill will anymore to what other fellow writers plotted to bring Expertscolumn down to its knees because all they did out of sinister motives boomeranged on them. 

And so I am going to start from a clean slate and promote the site again with the end view to attract more writers to the Expertscolumn website using  all available social networking sites at my command.

Most of all, I have been longing to see people here whom i used to know and who I came to befriend in confidence whose "through thick and thin," so to speak, was unceremoniously cut off after the unfortunate Expertscolumn Crash.

For quite some time since the Expertscolumn Crash happened, I got mercilessly waylaid by trivial wordly affairs and transfixed by false news and faces in recent months on Facebook, and thereby indolence, which was not totally unexpected. 

I'm next dipping my tongue in honey and my pen in venom in my next installment. 

Good Night!
