The adage might be ‘do much of one thing, not many things,’ but unfortunately I am firmly in ‘multa’ mode at the moment and have many small items of news to report.

...And one more thing: Dizzy Dragon
I thought I’d post a quick shout-out for our new design site, Dizzy Dragon.

Oh but I am here, and working to boot
Yes, folks, that’s what you hear: the sound of typing through them thar crickets! I have actually returned to my WIP after what seems like an eternity (but is really just about two months.) I hate not writing, and am very glad to be back on the case.

I will not leave months between posts. I will not leave months between posts. I will not leave months between posts. x100
I do have some excuse: I’m trying to settle into a new city, to find schools, flats, jobs… and it’s all coming together, slowly. I think.
