Okay, reader.
It has been over a year and almost 2 weeks since I've last used this blogger account. My life has been pretty crazy in all the time that has passed - even before the epidemic plagued the world. I didn't forget about the writing that I was doing here, but I know that my heart was not truly set on it - and I decided to take this time as the opportunity to address it.
At my core, I am a creator and performer for visual media - not a column article writer. Through this blog, and through the class that required me to make it, I was able to come to this conclusion. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn how to do all of this, even if I am not interested in pursuing it much further than this (at least for the time being).
Besides, I never really found the right footing on this platform or touched enough base with an audience (the most viewers I had from any posts on this site was 29, and that was on one of my earliest posts before the numbers significantly dipped).
It was never my intention to gather a following from doing this anyway, but it was discouraging to see how little payoff came from the effort poured into my earlier articles. I had 3 more drafted and several more ideas ready to write for, but I just did not see a point to writing things that would mostly be left unread.
At the very least, I wanted to leave my final post on this blog with an explanation of all that has happened and what will be happening going forward.
In the months since, I worked on a few more stop-motion animation films and some voice dubs on the Stealthabotte channels - winning 2nd place in one animation contest while taking 1st in another. I also worked on several live action short films across two semesters.

I have long since aced the class where I had to run this blog, along with another semester full of classes and performances. I have enjoyed watching various shows and films that would have made for great content for this blog, but lacking the time to even do the filmmaking that I am truly passionate for made this blog even less of a priority to me. I am currently in another semester (ironically enough, I am currently enrolled in a class where I had to create an e-portfolio which I have to essentially run like a blog - but it's more personally oriented when compared to the aims of this account).

So... What'll happen to this blog?
Well, I think I'm going to leave it up in its current state. I like to think about this as a time capsule in my content creating past. This was a short lived but important chapter in my life that I do not want to necessarily forget about, especially after all of the time and effort that was spent making it possible - besides, I advertised it temporarily in one of my YouTube vids, and would hate for that to lead to nothing.
