Hey, You.
That feels too colloquial. But "To Whom It May Concern" seems too stuffy. Anyway!
This is mainly addressed to those who have been watching me a long time, but everyone is welcome to read if they'd like.
Thanks for sticking with me through the past few years. I've had a light touch on deviantart for quite a while, and I figure I owe anyone who is still watching this profile and enjoying my work an explanation for why the writing has dried up. It's been a mix of three major things, most of which I haven't considered relevant to dA prior to this point: a mental illness, a side effect, and a career.

State of the Spirit
Hello Guys,
Iiiiiiiiii just realized I was a complete fool and didn't update dA on what the heck is going on in my life, and you guys probably should know! It's been... complete chaos; a whirlwind of things have happened in the bit-more-than-a-month of my last Journal, most of which aren't relevant to what's going on with dA, but I'll do a brief recap so you guys know what's up:

The topic is not easy.).
But it's something I can say. I have a book. The physical copy is in my hands. It has a cover, pages, ink, copyright legalese, page numbers, my name, a ti
Mandatory Viewing
To anyone who creates or enjoys what other people create, this is what I'd consider to be mandatory viewing.
Jake's reasoning in this video about making videos (though the content could apply no matter what you put in there, as long as it's a creative endeavor) is exactly the reasoning I had to come to last spring, when my "Silence and Suffering" journal came up. Thankfully, I came to a similar conclusion he did, which is why I'm working on a pretty large (and SFW, unlike most of the stuff I put here) project that both pushes my boundaries as a writer and is just plain fun to write.
... Sadly, thinking about it, I doubt this video would hav
