Hello? Are you in there?

The title of this post has actually two meanings: I haven't written anything here for a while, and so I thought that it might be what anyone who is foolish enough to follow me might be thinking, and that my writing has kind of fallen into a stagnation period.

As I've said before, my writing tends to go in spurts, so I might just be in a dry spell, but I think that there is more to it than that. By way of explanation, I'll tell you that I'm currently finishing up my summer semester, which consisted of 3 online classes (one that required me to read 4 textbook chapters a week!) and that I haven't really found all that much time to work on my writing lately. In fact, I've had a few stories that got rejected a while ago that I haven't even submitted again.

The academic writing that I've been doing has not been cutting it, and the lack of any semblance of writing lifestyle is starting to wear on me, I think. Next year won't be any better, but I can hope that I figure out how to balance finishing school, finding time to write the nightmares before they take over, spending time with my family and maybe even spend some time on hobbies like fishing, playing video games, etc.

In the meantime, I thought I'd throw this out so that people don't think I'm dead and hopefully I can get myself back in the swing of finding a few minutes to scribble a post here and there.
