Another Hiatus

About a year ago, I went on a brief hiatus. This was mostly done because I was feeling stressed about the content of my website, and wanted to make sure things were more polished for when I came back.

Of course, thing’s weren’t particularly polished when I came back, but nevertheless.

This time, I am going on hiatus because my new job (and a few other new projects) have cut into my writing time, and I haven’t yet found the new rhythms of my life. I need to

When I went on hiatus, I listed a bunch of things I was going to do with the website when I came back. Looking over the list, there are a few I haven’t done yet, namely:

• A substantial collection of early short stories I wrote while commuting when I worked in the Chicago Loop.
• The Stormcallers, a fantasy book that was set to be the start of a trilogy set in a world of floating islands above an ever-raging storm.
• A traveler’s guide to lands that don’t exist.

I did the other four things, and 4/7 isn’t a bad track-record, but a few things have changed with the list since its writing, so I won’t promise you’ll get these three things before my next hiatus. You’ll certainly get something, but I need a month or so to take a breath, re-schedule my days, and find the right balance between what I want to do, what I need to do, and what I am capable of doing.

Thank you all for sticking through this with me. I’ll see you in Summer!
