    The Big Nap

    So. It's been over a year since I've posted anything. What happened?

    At first, in a word, graduation. I made it out of college and got an actual job. The thing is, the job hunting process ended seven months ago, and I was fully moved into a new apartment four months ago. Why no updates, then?

If you think your story is perfect, you're lying to yourself. The art of writing is a constant quest for self improvement, and everything you make can always be better.

You're completely right man. Knowledge is never enough, and life as a whole, is in constant evolution. I'm always editing and rewriting my old stories.
