Wait, two MONTHS? · 8:53am Aug 9th, 2013
I have nothing of particular importance to report to you all...
that can be given any kind of date.
However, if you're still interested in abstract hope for the future, I have a few bits to toss into your face. One is that I'm not dead and haven't quit the fandom or whatever. I just disappeared again, like I tend to do from time to time. I'm a busy fellow, sometimes fulfilling social obligations, sometimes working super duper hard for five or six twelve+ hour days (and without even getting any overtime!), and sometimes playing a buttload of video games because that's been one of my primary hobbies since the age of five. The last week or so was catching up on games (I'm pretty sure most people own fewer games total than I own that I haven't even played once). Today was working (deadlines!). Tomorrow is social obligations (no, mother, there's no need for you to see any part of my apartment but the living room I assure you it is all spotless please turn around and don't open those doors please let me just show you around town or something instead NO DON'T LOOK IN THE KITCHEN). Such is life.
BUT! But but but!
A while back, I made some important decisions regarding that one project of mine that STILL hasn't surfaced. I know what I want to do with it now, I've come to terms with certain realities, and I can promise you 1000% that the only delays on it from here on out will be in getting it written down. There are no more barriers but my own time management. I have a super solid draft of the first chapter, a decent-ish draft of the second, a nifty outline, a gigantic bucket of little ideas to sprinkle around, and even pretty much the most perfect ending ever all planned out.
IN ADDITION! That other, more recent thing that was pretty interesting? That's got some good stuff brewing as well. I plan on delivering the remainder of that story before years' end, and getting the ball rolling on the big one in a meaningful way before that (a buffer so that you needn't suffer droughts!). We'll see how well I can actually stick to a schedule of even that much vaguery, but hey, it's good to set goals.
Sounds like a plan. Glad to hear that your still around!
