...So much for keeping things up to date. It amazes me how time flies, and I'm not talking the crappy 'when you're having fun' adage or the one idea that if you're busy time goes fast (I've lived the opposite of that one I can tell you!).

No, I'm talking in general as age goes by how it once was that days seemed long, weeks took forever, months were ridiculous and years were, well, incomprehensible to think about. But now weeks seem to go past faster than days, months are nothing to wait for and years are easy measurable and can be planned in advance. It's an odd thought to have, and to bring it back to why no one has heard from me for so long... I blame time seeming less of a thing.

Of course the general truth is that while I do jump onto the site here almost daily, I didn't have much to say or update on the week after my last journal. So I left it for another and another, then a month, then two months until I finally decided that I wouldn't update until I actually had an update. Which I finally do!! :-3

A new story is online and ready for viewing. It's taken something like 4 complete re-writes, multiple checks plus a few months to let it settle in my mind before posting. Still not sure if I'm 100% on it either... But it can always be edited at a later date. And with the completion one story, yet another story has come to mind and will be started on shortly. Adding that too, to the list of WIP's sitting on the HDD waiting for some attention... Let's hope this enthusiasm lasts a bit longer and I can get something else out before too long.

In addition to this, I'm happy to say that my sketchbook has also come out of storage and pencil is being put to paper so I'll no doubt be feeling the fatty urge and get something drawn. Been a while since Hopscotch and Ralphie were illustrated so I'm interested to see how my style has changed (for better or worse), and will be nice to see what comes up.

So, with not much else to say other thanks for reading, keep on eating :-3
