April 24, 2011 Editor's Note: A lot has changed since I last looked at this site. Somehow, since abandoning it in December, traffic has inexplicably picked up. I just finished my last Patch assignment, and I'm moving to New York City on May 3. I'm considering changing gears with this site and dedicating a section of my blog to documenting my experiences as a noob in NYC. Stay tuned ...

Dec. 17, 2010 Editor's Note: JTBrandt.com is now almost two years old. I am currently writing freelance news articles and features for Patch.com in the St. Louis Metro Area communities of Clayton-Richmond Heights, Florissant, University City, and Maplewood-Brentwood. I am currently in the process of finding out whether there will be any problems with me posting my samples in the Journalism section of this website. I've also been writing medical summaries for a law firm in Alton and will soon begin blogging on their website as a ghostwriter.

As you might have guessed, this freelancing work is keeping me busy, and I haven't been able to write fresh content for INK FIST since October. That's OK; my blog is not gone for good -- just taking a rest. There's only so much I can write in one sitting, after all.


I've also been working on some new short fiction pieces which I hope to post online in the near-ish future. Perhaps I will post them on the blog first so viewers can give feedback.
