 Greetings once again, 

 I apologize for my long, unannounced absence. But let's face it - none of us really know when we'll hit the wall and writer's block will take over or quite frankly, simply an inability to find interest in one's hobbies. Overall, I've just been extremely busy with work and family life. I'm sure you can relate. I've always found difficulty with forum based role play since "Desert Realm" was terminated by the creators some years ago merely because the depth and care placed in the environment there has not been found elsewhere. This is merely a poor substitute when I can find the means to interact. Quite frankly, with most threads on this site maintaining a deadline with a hobby designed to help me relax in a world where I'm constantly bombarded with deadlines and an always-on-the-go lifestyle, posting requirements on a time scale are the last things I need. But I suppose I've backed myself into a corner on that front. I'd like to tell you I'll be intending on posting soon but that is a lie. I can't necessarily say when I will post, if I will post, or if I will even return on some consistent basis. I'm sure such news doesn't entirely disappoint you. But I do wish you best in whatever endeavors you carry out. In the future, I may contact you for a 1x1 or something along those lines merely because I am bored with combat at this point (for no specific reason) but I may consider a storyline or thread with a purpose but without the posting limit. My apologies for any inconvenience.
