I’m Back

So.

With the coming of spring, I’m currently whipping off the dusty sheets covering my brain and opening windows to let the light in to my lately uninspired mind. While I do confess I’ve been busy over the last year with career-related stuff, beyond that I’ve simply felt closed off from my creative side. Frustratingly, I can’t seem to finish any projects I’ve started or poked at lately, nor am I satisfied with any meager progress I’ve made. With everything happening in the world, and in my life (which mostly just involves actual work for actual money), I’ve felt rather burned out even if I’m not entirely unhappy. But it’s just about time for me to pay for this domain for another year and I find I’m not quite ready to let Starsmirk die just yet. So here I am, justifying this yearly purchase.

I can’t promise that what comes next is in any way a continuation of what I was putting out before, or going to do any justice to what my plans were. However, I’ve decided enough is enough. My thoughts, however half-baked, have to go somewhere. I can never determine whether writing for me is a passion, a hobby, or simply a skill. But I do know that it hurts me to feel it atrophy. For now may it simply be a form of sublimation — from the frustrations of my day job, nonstop fretting over my future, and frankly the abject loneliness I feel at times.

So.

To whoever’s reading, if in fact anyone is, expect more content moving forward. More than likely this will be weird things, but at least things I’m coming up with. I have to be okay with a little less than perfection.

May this blog not be a masterpiece, but bits and pieces of a body of work.
