I actually made it this year and managed to write a little over 10k words! Even with the world conspiring against me, I managed to do it through the pain of covid.
  I think this is a sign that I actually have found a line of worldbuilding that I can actually vibe with, even if I decide to change up some of the scale later. This is the most I've managed to write in an organized state in years and feels a lot better than I could have expected. And I still have so many little things for this world floating about that I'm actually excited, instead of daunted, to write them out! 2023 might be a good year for worldbuilding :D
  Now I think I'm going to go hibernate until I can breathe properly again xD

I'm not who all is going to read this, or really care for that matter, but I'm going to put it out there anyway! :v
  School is very nearly upon me (week after next), and it's shaping up to be a rather busy semester. I've been selected to be the primary instructor for two online courses, which while something I've been looking forward to (the primary instructor part, not the online part), its a bit daunting. I also have to begin working on my masters thesis, which is also quite daunting. And then, of course, there's my school work. I'm only taking two courses, but I don't expect them to be easy or not time consuming (for the curious reader, I'll be taking Partial Differential Equations and Artificial Intelligence). So I'm realistically going to need to take a few steps back from how much time I spend on WA related things.
  That aside, I still want to maintain some level of activity in the community. Namely:

• Continuing to helping out in #guild-css-help
• Adding fun stuff to my Dev world
• Working on my new project, Immortalia, including making some of it public
• Working on a theme for my Immortalia project
• Miscellaneous worldbuilding when the ideas choose to reveal themselves to me

  We'll see how much, if any, of those I'll actually be able to do.
