I am leaving my previous posts as they are, including the large gap, in an effort at transparency. However, as you can see, I have been pretty absent for the last year. While I have done some writing and revising during that time, I would definitely put it on a hobby level of effort, not a professional endeavor.

My life has changed drastically as to my day job and financial situation, and stress makes it harder to be creative, at least for me. This absence has been the result. In a self-perpetuating cycle, the lack of creative outlet is, of itself, stressful.
