So this time I&#8217;ll just make it quick.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not dead. No, I haven&#8217;t given up on writing. I&#8217;ve just been terribly busy over the past year &#8212; between working on a certification program, having new responsibilities at work now that I&#8217;m the lead engineer on the team, and some other personal real-life obligations. I just haven&#8217;t had the time to actually sink into writing for a while, and any spare time has been sunk into blowing off steam instead.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not completely true. I did have a window during the Summer when I was reasonably lax for a month, but I got hooked onto <em>Quora<\/em> during that period. To debate with people who can actually back up their arguments with sources, statistics, and academia! Such pleasure to be had ^^ (also found a Russian community on there that taught me more about the Russian outlook upon the world in one month than I&#8217;ve learned in the previous 5 years&#8230; really made me reexamine my characters.)<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I expect things to cool down as winter approaches. I have a lot of vacation time left over and my courses are ending in just two more weeks. Hopefully I&#8217;ll have time to write again then; the itch is certainly bugging me.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>~ Aorii<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep telling myself that I&#8217;d post an update, and then I keep getting busy and putting it off.
