The good news just doesn't seem to stop coming!
Thanks to everyone so much for getting me where I am now.
I still remember just starting off with a simple fan poem and less than 200 pageviews. It will have been 3 years since I released that piece next Thursday, and... well... look what's happened since!
I'm so glad that you guys enjoy my work. If it wasn't for you lot, I don't think I would have even considered writing as being "the thing" for me.
Only 3 days ago, I got my first DD - something that I had been aspiring to do ever since I started taking this seriously.
I have each and every one of you to thank for that.

So, I guess I've said this about a thousand times so far, but it still needs to be said...
Turkey's Waking Nightmare
Been unable to sleep. It's currently 5.30am here so this is probably going to be the ramblings of a mentally drained guy with a lot on his mind and too little rest. But I just need to write about this somewhere.
Hours ago, Istanbul was struck by two bombings. An incident which has become so commonplace in 2016 that the general public response to it seems to be an annoyed "another one?"
I can't sleep because Istanbul holds a special place in my heart. I have made many fantastic memories there, and even more importantly, it is currently home to many great friends of mine. And it seems like every time the place begins to stabilise something el
Return(?) and Reform
Been a while, huh?
It's been over a year since I last did anything here.
Part of the reason behind that was because I didn't like the current state of my account here, and didn't want to move forward with it.
Today I realised that reasoning was really dumb, because I could change all of that on a whim.
So after 4 hours of editing, going through my old stuff and reforming my image, I think I might just be comfortable coming back to this site.
I've been going through some pretty troubling mental blocks anyway, so I need a reason to write again.
I guess the idea is giving myself purpose here. :)
Here's hoping it works.
And to any of you

Work Update
Because I feel I need to prove to you guys that I've genuinely got stuff coming after months of silence. :D
Seriously though, I've actually got a decent amount in the works right now, so I thought I'd just list it all here.
I've got two major pieces currently under works which are taking up most of my time. One's going to be yet another follow up to my series of pieces on Cyprus. The other is a really interesting project I've got coming up, and possibly one of my biggest experiments yet.
On the side, I've got a lot of fun little mini-things I've also had ready to post for a while, but I can't share them just yet as I'm still waiting on res
