Five Months Later...

It's hard to believe that it's been almost half a year since I posted here. I'd like to say there was a good reason for the absence--I'd like to blame a busy semester that included three English classes and thus, more than enough opportunities to write. I'd like to blame a desire to have a social life and spend more time hanging out with friends and fiance. I'd really, really like to blame dedication to more important creative projects--but so far the only thing to come out of that category can only be described as a Facebook-exlusive serial short story which is updated roughly twice a month.

But as I (recently, if you ignore the dates on the posts) pledged, I will not make excuses. Basically, I stopped posting because I stopped wanting to. Plain and simple.

But I don't plan on giving up the blog just yet. With the semester finally almost over, I really will have more free time, some of which will be going towards a writing group some friends and I are trying to start over the break. My hope is that the group moral will inspire all of us lazy writer-types to actually get some productive work done over the winter break--but even if that fails, I do want to finally start taking advantage of this blog as a writing outlet.

I mean, once I get a good posting rhythm going, every post can stop being about my whiny coming of age bullshit, right?

This post has been a long time coming, and probably shouldn't have been written at almost 4 in the morning. Alas; goodnight, internet.
