A return to the land of the living
Well, I actually haven't abandoned writing completely, just been busy with many other things and/or lazy, depending on how you look at it.
And I did do some writing over the month of November. No, let me rephrease that. I did an absurdly large amount of writing over the month of November as part of National Novel Writing Month. The end result, which is of a highly substandard nature (that's what happens when you try to write an entire novel in a month) can be found at Sharazad's Legacy.
Hopefully, more writing is soon to come.
