What a weird start of this new year.
I was working on two major projects (and a few minor ones) and then my PC died, had to get a new one, set it up, recover my stuff…
I went through a bout of bad health, and then the war began – reasonably far from my country, but still we are feeling the aftershocks: friends who lost everything, people who live in feat, and people being killed.
Nothing new in human history, but still something that caused a moment of complete disconnect.

And in all honesty it feels extremely selfish and superficial, in a moment like this, to update one’s blog, writing about stories and personal projects, and all that.
Does anybody care?

But still, both the big projects were delivered with a minimum of fuss, and I am starting to work on a new story as I wait for the contract to be finalized.
And so I was doing a bit or research, and found this thing, and thought I’d share it here.
As a token to my intention of picking up posting again.

And yes, I am about to write a new story set in Shanghai…
