So there's this huge void in my journals and other creative online activity, and the only excuse I have is that life happened. You'd think I'd have a better excuse, like going to prison, or being kidnapped by pirates, or a spontaneous around the world adventure to make up for vanishing for several years. But really what filled that gap was mostly pretty average, every day sorts of things. My grandmother died, and I stopped posting things here. I got married. I bought a house. I sold the house and half of everything I owned, including furniture, assorted media, books, vehicles, and moved into a tiny one-bedroom apartment in New York. It's no excuse, but somehow I haven't found the time or inspiration to post here. Now and then I come back to it and sort through my growing inbox of deviations, do some pruning of watched accounts that are now inactive and get some inspiration from the artists I'm watching, and am amazed by those that are still regularly posting excellent works and have been for many years.

I doubt that I will post frequently, but I'm back for the time being. I'll be watching!

Only 1598 more deviations to look through!
