So, first and foremost, gentle readers, I apologize for the….

(checks amount of time since last post)

…very long time since I last posted on this most haphazard of blogs. To put it frankly, I simply had a lot going on in my life: my work has become more intense and demanding, I had moved into a new place last year, and even more recently I have become a full-time cat dad again. Prior to that, I had just been dealing with the worst feeling of burnout. Call it depression, call it exhaustion, call it the inevitable weight on life bearing down on you like a soul-crushing anvil, but the result is that for the past few years I’ve barely gotten any writing done. Or wargaming. Or painting. Or…really much of anything I used to enjoy, if I’m honest.

Starting today, I’m trying to change that, and I’m starting here with this post.
