worse to (much) better

It seems that life is always crazy in one way or another, for better or for worse. The past few years for me have been craziness mostly in the worse category, unfortunately. I’ll spare you the details, but it was due to pressure and anxiety from owning/operating a very stressful business. Thankfully, that’s behind me now, and growing farther and farther away each day. What was a 60+ hour a week mess (to put it lightly) which limited me in many ways is now gone, and for that I am truly grateful.

Throughout it all, however, I did manage to put a lot of work into writing projects. The newest of which, a second Feralia story, is moving along at a brisk pace. In fact, it should be finished very soon! My new – what should I call it? schedule? non-schedule? career change? – has provided me more time to devote to writing, and hopefully blogging! …Yes, I know, I know. I always say that. So let me just say that it’s still a goal, but I won’t set the bar too high. No pressure, right? ;) I do have some new ideas for blogs, so maybe the relaxed approach will work better.

In other news:

I’m happy that football season is here. I’m sure it will go too fast, as always, so I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts!

I’ve been keeping busy with the job that I love (and now have more time to devote to): Alicia’s Anime. Our customers are so cool! I lub dem. They’re always so excited and appreciative. We couldn’t ask for more wonderful customers. The familiar faces at anime cons are awesome as well!

Thanks to Viz and Hulu, we’re almost caught back up on Bleach since they are posting episodes just a week after they air in Japan! Now is the perfect time to catch up on Bleach and a bunch of other series.

And lastly, I’m enjoying Halo: Reach. A lot. Today I finished the campaign on Heroic. I got to play through the entire game co-op with my buddy Aaron, which was so much fun. Also, Matchmaking and Firefight are addicting.

We'll schedule the next entry for a relaxed 'soon.'
