I opened this up to see when the last blog post was. Exactly… one month ago.

Um.

Well, let’s pretend that sabbatical didn’t happen. As it happens, since the last time I updated the blog, I finished a whole short story. It only took me a couple days, so there was a marked spike in my productivity but i recently plummeted with the arrival of quarantine. I live in New York so you can imagine how tight it is. I went out for the first time today in weeks, just to get some gas, and it improved my mood.

Lately I’ve just been idling, playing games and drawing, trying to stave off the looming curtain of depression.

I don’t know, man. I know this quarantine is for the long-term good but fuck if it isn’t hard. And that’s coming from someone who lives on a cushy pillow with video games at her disposal so no clue how other people handle it.

Just taking the endless desert before us one day at a time.
