A sad few months

Hey people,

How is everyone? I hope doing well and chasing your dreams.

I have had a number of people I care about tremendously leave this life through various means. And all within a couple of months. This has taken a toll on me. I basically quit doing anything.

I tried Camp Nano in July and won with a paltry 2000 words. Much of which I struggled for. I was so disappointed in myself, which only made things worse. I quit studying. Quit drawing.

It took a talk with a good friend to basically get my ass in gear. I started to WANT to write again, but still had issues with the words. Then, I figured I would start on a short story. Nothing at all to do with my angels and demons. And what do you know. I broke through. The words are coming again.

I have since, as of today, signed up for Nano this year. I was actually considering skipping it. But one of my friends, actually the first one to pass, would have kicked my ass if he knew that I quit writing because of him. So, Will, this Nano is for you.

We hit speedbumps. Gates come down and block us. But all we can to is keep going. Keep pushing. Eventually, the way will clear and we can move on. Keep chasing dreams!
