2016

Wow, it's been a while!  Considering my terrible track record when it comes to being on time, surely nobody here should be surprised that I neglected this blog for months at a time.  I didn't exactly want to, but I will, to the best of my ability, explain my reasons for not updating in such a long time.  I hope this is sufficient.

The last post I made happened two days before I moved onto campus again.  I thought I was prepared to keep it going, like I had been through the previous semester.  I was wrong as hell.  There were external forces at work, and they were keeping me from doing even things I wanted to do.  I've put several projects on hold, ranging from Fan Drowned to a novelization project, and I even began to neglect my duties to the Zelda Wiki.  That last one itself caused me much emotional turmoil, and it was a constant, endless loop of unhappiness.  I wanted to work, but I didn't want to; I hated myself for not doing it, but I couldn't will myself to talk about it.

Following some time off from everything, I returned to the wiki's Slack channel and told them I wanted to resign, a full year after I joined.  That was last week.  Since then, my stress has let up considerably.  I have plans to see a psychiatrist at the soonest opportunity, as a precaution and, hopefully, an assurance that nothing is wrong aside from my own error.  My will is slowly returning, and I want to work harder at my classes.  I'm still working up to physical activity, but I'm confident that I will reach it in time.

To be completely honest, I don't know when the next video update will be.  I've really shamed myself by leaving this place to rot, but I really want to make it better.  Hopefully, it will be soon.  I will do my absolute best to keep this alive, especially considering:


That is Alex Hall's Twitter, and assuming this isn't a facetious answer with no meaning, we have a confirmation that Hubris is coming in 2016, presumably after Methods of Revolution is released.  It's more than we've had to go on for a very long time (since the Ice Bucket challenge video, if I recall), so it's hard not to get excited at this.

Anyway, that's the news for the month of November.  When I finally get around to working on the next update, I will deliver the calendar post earlier in the day.  Everyone who reads this, thank you for your time and I will see you soon.
