On Breaks, Change, & What Happens Next

While I may have been a little sidetracked in the whole blogging department I’ve actually managed to get quite a bit done in the writing department, I’m finally at 20k words which is really exciting to me. So why have I been gone so long?

The answer is sort of multifaceted. On the one hand, I’ve been going through a bit of a mental breakdown because I’m about to turn 22, I’m about to graduate from college and so in short order I will have to get a real job that goes beyond just my writing. I also have a great deal of personal changes that I’m going through right now in addition to feeling old and way too young all at the same time. Add to this the fact that I haven’t really been sure what to write about, because really while I could have spent this entire week going through my insomnia induced depression, I really just wanted to curl up into a ball and sob. (Instead I watched funny things on Netflix to help whenever I could, and did a bit of writing) and what it all boils down too is… it’s been a long few weeks and I’d like to start by apologizing for my absence. I’ve wondered, rather privately whether or not it might be time to start a different adventure. I love blogging and it will always be one of my favorite ways to share my thoughts with the world, and vent my frustrations I feel like I really want to be doing something different. I’m not entirely sure what that is yet, podcasting has been difficult at best to keep up and has been on hold while I work on writing and to be honest the whole video blog or vlog as it’s known, hasn’t really ever felt right either. I’m definitely not leaving just yet… but at some point I would like to try my hand at something new. Whatever form that might take, I do hope you’ll all stay with me.

For now, the Racewood Post is going to be probably off and on. I can’t really guarantee daily posts, but hopefully I won’t disappear on you again for weeks.
