Just thought I'd quickly advertise the latest Humble Bundle of ebooks on writing. I've no idea how good any of them are, but if you're interested, you can't go far wrong with the price.

I could do the whole 'here's my update' skit, but to be quite frank, I'm just going to ask for clicks.

I had to really think hard about exactly what was worth saying. It should be of no significant surprise to say there is an awful lot going on with my mind right now, but it makes sense to me to talk about the thing most important to where I am at this exact moment, as that is where i can be the most specific and give the most detail.
I've said a lot in the past about the effects and my experience of depression. In turn, I feel it would be remiss of me not to post about one of those rare bit of good news.
