It's been a while, I know. But I have good reason, I promise.
For the past couple of years, I have been unemployed, despite my university education, thanks to the shitty economic situation here in Portugal. I've been surviving (barely) on temporary, part-time, small jobs, plus the generosity of my parents. Writing was a way to pass the time and feel like I still did something. But last month I landed a new full-time job at a grocery store, making more than twice what I used to.
The bad side? I'm on the evening shift, 1 to 10 o'clock, a schedule I'm really not used to, plus the work can be real tiring, physically and mentally (you can't imagine some of the stupidity I have to deal with!). Which all leaves me with little time and patient for writing.
I haven't given it up for good, I enjoy it too much for that, and my fan mail has pretty much told me that I'm a half decent writer. But I have decided that from now on, I won't post a story until I have completed it. I can't guarantee when that will be, or what story.
I'm hoping that I will get used to my new situation and start writing in earnest. For now, I still plan on updating this blog on occasion, so drop by every once in a while.
