I realized it's been a while since I posted anything regarding my writing or why it's taking so long. When I put up my last story about 2 years ago, I was just returning to college after finally addressing all the medical issues that have been plaguing me for nearly a decade. It took three semesters, but last spring I graduated with my degree.

Not too long after graduating, I got my first job that required a college diploma. Unfortunately, it was an extremely intense job that had me working over 40 hours per week on average and running around for 12 hours at a time. That job was temporary though, and just came to an end.

Now I'm preparing to start another new job with a much more consistent schedule and much better pay. $32/hr to be specific. That means that my financial stresses should be greatly alleviated in addition to this new job not destroying my body quite so much. I'll be working for the pharmaceutical industry, which I despise but I'd have to have brain worms to turn down a job like that when I have $85k in student debt.

Obviously, all this means that I had neither the time or mental capacity to do any writing over the past two years. Hopefully, however, once I get into the groove of this new job, that will change. I'll be training with an odd schedule for the first 4 weeks I'm there, then my regular hours will kick in. I'll also need to get a new computer, since my current laptop's keyboard isn't really functioning, but taking home about $1000 every week should allow me to handle that problem quickly enough. My hope is to start writing again within the next few months. I might ease my way back into it with a one-off story before continuing the series I've been working on. We'll just have to see how the inspiration hits.
