Heya Folks!
Wow, what a month. So, if my lack of activity hasn't gone unnoticed, I've been having a... Weird busy/heavy month. Work has been flat out.
If you've read my latest piece, Inspiration is... Pretty much where I'm at. Inspiration has been hard to come by when you're either busy or exhausted in most of your spare time. Being a parent and a writer is hard. Harder perhaps than I realized.
For those not in the know, I closed my Patreon a while ago and set up a Ko-Fi. I was betting on being able to be active more, and... Regrettably, that bet didn't end up in my favour. Life, ha. I'm trying folks. Goddamn I'm trying. I love writing, and it's just been hard to get in the zone lately when you can't get but 5 minutes uninterrupted. Even sitting down to try, I have to have a headphone off to keep an ear out incase Shadi or the kids need me. Most nights, I get home and am to damn tired to even consider it.
But today, I managed 600 words. It's not much, but it's something at least. Progress can be measured in microns or miles, but it's no less progress. It's more than I did all of last week.
SO, what is in the works then?
Well, Dancing slave continues slowly but steadily on course. The side piece for the raffle winner is getting towards completion, and I'm excited to share once it is ready. There's also another BIG side project in the works, but that will be some time yet, so stay tuned. ^^
Last month was largely focused on that, BLFC, and a fun little snippet I did for the awesome BlajnArt, FA: gryph000 for their awesome Werebirds, also known as Arvians :P Spooky buff birds. Point in case, it was an awesome feeling to be approached by her to work on some lore for them, and I was super touched. I've got a little bit of art backlog from a handful of pieces I got recently, some as gifts, others as little sketchy bits. BLFC was great, and myself and Shadi got absolutely plastered with
Stormgryphon and 
dresil , who are sincerely awesome blokes, and it was an awesome time that certainly has helped to pull me back from the funk I've been in lately.
Hopefully, moving forward, I plan on getting at least a few hundred words done a day just to keep momentum up. I have another fun piece from my modern, mostly canonical 'The Bet' setting coming up,
I'm far from dead, even though my tired body would try to tell me otherwise. I'm hoping going forward, it gets easier from here. As always, I super appreciate all the support and encouragement I get from you folks. A kind word to a stranger can go a hell of a long way towards plastering a stupid smile on their face all day.
