A Casual Update: Sports Writing and Other Things

Hey all.

Long time, no post. I’ve been busy working on my mental health and finding ways to rekindle that fire for writing. One of those ways has been sports writing.

I just published an article title Portland’s Most Important Trail Blazer. Read it here. A lot of the stuff I’ve been doing can be found over at The Peach Basket.

Not being one to want to spam this particular website with a host of game recaps, I refrained from cross-sharing those. More to the point, I had to take a break from game recaps for a while just to kind of refine tools that will allow me to push them out faster without having to tax my brain in such a way that takes away from the longform, season analysis and player profiles.

But when it comes to more of the longform, seasonal analysis and player profiles, I think many of those thoughts could qualify as a ramble and thus deserve the love and attention of a cross post. So, that what’s I’m going to do.

The long-term goal is to turn this website into a hub for all the things that I write across the various bits and bobs of the internet. Probably means I’m gonna have to reorganize my blog categories and the like, but that will happen sooner rather than later.

For now, expect more frequent casual rambles and articles and all that good stuff without the crush of ads. I don’t rely on ad revenue because ads fucking destroy the beauty of writing. They’re necessary for the big boys, but not for me.

If you like the sound of that, all I ask for is a kind donation to my Patreon. They keep me going on this dream of being a career writer. I’ve got benefits coming and am cooking more ideas to make them spicier.

About The Casual Rambler

An insane man moonlighting as a respectable member of society from Portland, Oregon. A rock ‘n’ roller since his mother first spun The Police’s “Roxanne,” Ben is a lover of all things independent music. Once upon a time, a friend told him to write about music. So he started doing that under the title of a Willie Bobo cover by Santana. Now he just casually rambles about whatever crosses his mind.
