Well so much for that plan...

Rumors of my giving up have been greatly exaggerated...

Hello folks!  Yes, I'm back, sort of.  Since last August some things have changed for me making the Youtubing and blogging very hard for me.  Finding time to edit videos and concentrate on writing has been usurped by a mix of social life, other hobbies, and a job that is rather unsatisfying.  I think about this and my Youtube channel a lot, however, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I have some guilt for disappearing for nearly a year.

A good thing that has come out of it, however, is that I have not been idle with my creativity.  I have been running a Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons game for my friends since last November, which has been a lot of fun and very fulfilling.  As the DM, I've been putting my writing chops to work entertaining my wife and six of our friends on Saturdays when the rest of life's demands are kept at bay.  I'll share some artwork I actually created for my game below.

I'm not gonna try to 'make a plan' as I've done in the past since it's been increasingly hard to stick to one.  Instead, I am going to just wait for the organic moments when I can take time to share my creative outlets.  Luckily, I am making changes in my life that will soon lead to a new career, one I hope offers me more satisfaction, and more time to spend creating!  For now, however, thank you for reading my blog, watching my videos, and following me on my various social platforms.  I appreciate your interest, and look forward to sharing more soon!
