Well I certainly didn't expect I'd ever be using this subforum. With the exception of the last week or so, I haven't missed logging in everyday since I joined 2 years ago. I've been busy for the past few weeks and I haven't been able to set aside the hours I would like to devote to rping. I like sitting down and taking my time to write without any pressure and I haven't been able to reliably get that time lately. Which sucks. I suppose I could if I shifted my focus here, but there are a few things right now that need my attention more. I could do without having any thoughts lingering at the back of my head that I need to post for someone. My apologies to those I'm threading with at the moment. For the first time ever I'm not going to be the last poster in a thread left hanging.
Now I'm not really planning on disappearing. I may actually show up on chat like nothing's different, but that's really all the attention I can spare at the moment. Chatting is easy and can be done as part of multi-tasking but posting cannot. At least for me it can't. I'm expecting logins to be less frequent. Maybe just often enough to catch up on the latest buzz. As for when I'm expecting to be back on the rping scene, it's hard to say. Of all the activities I had to let go to accommodate my recent busy-ness, it is up there among the things I want to have time again for. Hopefully I'll know within the first couple of months of the new year. Optimistically, I could be back as soon as January.
Probably not the best post to make on Christmas but I do owe the people I'm in threads with a heads up. Happy Holidays all!
