Update
It’s been a while, so I thought I would let everyone know what I’ve been up to and what I’m currently working on. Aside from playing video games, I’ve been thinking about various stories.

I can’t speak for other writers, but the amount of time it takes for me to write anything feels like more than it is. I average a page an hour while working on a novel, novella or short story. Blogs are entirely different. I don’t put in time outlining and editing numerous revisions before posting. With outlining and edits, that...
