Over the last year or two, I've had a lot going on in my life, and as a result, my creative output has suffered drastically.
Be it extreme procrastination, mental blocks that I still fail to shake off to this day or the simple concept of self-doubt, I've let too much get in the way of what I once loved doing, and what I've hoped to look forward to doing yet again.
I'm coming back, or at least, I dearly hope that I am coming back. Be it my creative work, poetry or prose, my reviews or anything else that finds its way back into the sunken caverns of my mind, I'm going to try and bring my productivity back up to a standard where I can feel happy about myself again. I'm tired of constantly looking back at my past works and feeling sorry for what I am compared to what I once was.
I want to make a change in my life, and I'm hoping that this is one of the steps I'll take in making it.
Expect content from me. I don't know when it will come, or what it will be, but I just know that I need to be reminded of why I did this in the first place. I need to find the spark again, because I know that I still possess the passion at the roots of it all.
I haven't spoken with many of you in months; with most of you, perhaps even longer.
So I hope that I'll be able to once again.
(something something about a phoenix cliche)
Many thanks to those who have stuck with me, and who still pay attention to what I do.
Here's hoping I can live up to your expectations again.

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
