    <content type="html">Ah, that's better. Spent most of January focusing most all of my creative juices on starting up &lt;em&gt;MU4&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;and maintaining a consistent and balanced schedule for it, and while the Words So Far are in dire need of revision, I am NOT going to hyperfocus on them or even fix them just yet. The whole point of this month-long exercise was merely to get in the right headspace for this project. By this I mean that I wanted to re-immerse myself into this created universe for the right reasons -- not merely because It Might Be Fun or Let's Relive the Past but because I &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to be here, back in Bridgetown, telling more stories about psychic energies and supernatural connections and maybe some metaphorical stuff as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also mean that I wanted to create a healthy balance between creative time and IRL time. Over the last couple of years I've noticed that sometimes I'd hyperfocus on whatever project I'm working on to the detriment of everything else going on and it wasn't all that healthy. I needed to realign a lot of that before I could move forward. I spent most of January focusing on writing MU4 creatively, but also reconnecting with the world outside (in a healthy way, of course). There are still a few bumps in the road, but I'm going in the right direction!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1014118" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
