Hey, all.

I don't want too many people concerned, I just sort of hit a brick wall. To some, I may have come off as a bit stand-offish the past few days, and I'm very sorry about it. It's not you, it's me. I'm stressed and anxious about a lot of things right now, and what sucks is, I'm waiting on practically everything. I'm waiting on news about a new job, waiting on news about a bonus from my old job, waiting on money, waiting on word from a publisher, all the while stuck in a purgatory that I don't see any viable way out of. It got bad enough that I passed out at work. I know I said things were going to be slow, but I never intended them to be this slow. And I'm sorry about that.

I don't really want to talk about it, because there's nothing to be done. It's not a problem I can think my way through, it's all just waiting. I've already done my part, filled out their forms, reached out, networked, etc, now I'm at the mercy of big, faceless bureaucracies for a myriad of issues to hopefully get my life moving out of stagnancy and in a more positive direction.

To my commissioners, I apologize for the wait. I've just been listless and anxious; going nowhere fast, as it were. To those waiting on a story from me, I promise, I'm going to get to it soon. Hopefully starting today. But I've just been so drained, I haven't really touched any writing at all. This is precisely why I don't ask for money upfront; sometimes, the rest of life's shit gets in the way.

That's all for now, folks. Take care and God bless,
-Renard
