writer. singer/songwriter. techie geek. princess of random.

My friend Julius shared this article on Facebook: “The Secret of L.A.’s 10-Year-Old Fake Freeway Sign”.  It tells the story of an artist that decided to take matters into his own hands and directly inform people of the 5 North – he found all the specs to make a sign and went up there and did so.  In addition to being a must-read article, it’s also a great message.  If something is wrong, make an effort to fix it.

While not as extraordinary an effort, I once made a sign to better inform people where the bathroom was at an event.  I had a piece of a paper, a pen, and no tape, so I strategically curled the paper and tucked in a railing so that it was visible and didn’t fall.  I know for a fact that one person saw it and knew where to go.  So maybe I didn’t redirect traffic appropriately on a Los Angeles freeway (that’s barring on miracle levels), but  I abide that sometimes the smallest effort makes the biggest difference in the world.

Since I consider intellichick.com (and by extension my @intellichick on twitter) as my “alter-ego”, then I suppose launching my writing blog is calling it my “other ego”?  It most certainly isn’t an “alter-alter-ego”.

So why the other site?  I’m a bundle of randomness, but writing is my life’s passion – so it made sense to collectively keep the random on one side and make a more concentrated effort to bring forth the writer me and keep my writing thoughts somewhere.

No worries, I’m sure they’ll be some cross-posting and I’m definitely not closing this site/self – I just gave it a new look-and-feel after all.

So feel free to stop by http://www.charitytran.com for my writing and my thoughts on it.
