It has been a very long time coming – and been through a number of false starts – but Ink Sweat & Tears publisher Charles Christian has finally got his own personal blog up and running. The blog – which you can access via either www.wordsandvision.com or www.charles-christian.com – is designed to highlight his writing (the 'words' bit), his photography and digital haiga (the 'vision' bit) and his live literature/spoken word performance activities.

If you click on the main category headings, you will see a set of sub categories (verse poetry, prose poetry etc) encompassing the different genre he's worked/working in. The 'stuff you need to know' section is for all the stuff that doesn't fit into one of those neat categories – and includes general info about the blog, news, events, plus biography. And, 'the Digital Slow Lane' – which is also this blog's subtitle – is designed to hold an ongoing series of semi-autobiographical, mini-monologues and annecdotes about Christian – and life – as he finally comes out of the closet to recognise his inner geek.
