What the hell have I been up to?

Not much.

If I was in a holding pattern in June, I ground to a halt in July. Maybe it's grief, maybe it's too many small changes, maybe it's just summer doldrums. It's probably all of those things, but it's long past time for me to get my feet back under me and get back to work.

I haven't been around the internet much. I've needed some time alone, as it were. I haven't updated here in over two weeks, which is probably the longest break I've taken.  I'm not one to announce breaks, or even plan them. I'm also not the sort to announce, "I'm back!" Right now, I'm liking the quiet, but that doesn't mean I won't get chatty again.

I've let work pile up. I need to get through a read-through/editing pass of Luck for Hire. I should probably clean up a few Divine Fire things, though the time for that has probably passed. I need to get stuff ready for Lucinda at the Window to be re-released. I need to finish constructing a website for my sister (online galleries are their own special hell), and get VOTS fall league squared away. I owe various people long-past-due emails. (I should have warned Betsy that I'm a terrible correspondent.)

Therefore, I'm probably going to drop out of A Round of Words in 80 Days for a while. I'll try to make it around to a few blogs (I see a lot of RoWers around Twitter and (now) Google+), and I'll post what I usually post in regards to work, but right now it's a level of obligation that I can't guarantee I'll meet.
