Return of the blog

I promised myself at some point that however much I procrastinated, I wouldn't let this blog go a full year without an update. And like I often do when allowed to do so, I waited until the last possible... well, not minute, anyway. But a year ago today I announced here that I was getting married. And then I got married! It was busy. And since then I've been sort of piecing my life back together after experiencing the biggest distraction ever.

One silly reason I haven't been posting is that I felt (especially the longer I went without a post) that I couldn't just post any old thing after that last announcement. Obviously that was the sort of idea best gotten over. Another reason, perhaps less silly, is that the freelance writing thing has actually been taking up a good amount of my time and attention. And yet at the moment I feel I need to leave things vague... some of these projects have yet to surface publicly and I'm not 100% sure of my place in the universe relative to the terms of work-for-hire. I was pleased, though, to realize that the feeling I'd had lately that I hadn't been writing much was inaccurate--I have been writing, just not my own stuff, and my brain had been filing the activity under "working."

Enough rambling, though. I intend to resume my weekly posting schedule starting this weekend, when I will start working through my backlog of interesting things to talk about. Because zombies and pugilistic lawyers have been all over my TV, and I need to talk about that novel with John Wayne in it, and there was that thing with the Holy Roman Empire, and I sort of made part of a video game that I broke but people can play if I un-break it....
