The Perils of the Working World

I give up. I will not even make the pretense of apologizing yet again for the months-long silence that has plagued this blog. The fault is fully mine, and I own up to it. With the reorganization of my life that has taken place since starting my position at RSA, I have found it very difficult to maintain a writing schedule. Despite this, however, I have not been lax in my creative endeavors. Recently, after being struck with a bolt of inspiration in the midst of an otherwise ordinary workday, I began taking notes and making outlines concerning a new novel that I would like to write. It is to be a piece in the cyberpunk tradition, dealing with a (relatively) near-future European dystopia. More will be posted as it develops.

In addition to literary endeavors, I have also decided on the Warhammer 40k army that I would like to construct in the near future. Influenced by the awesome array of modeling and force options available to them, I have decided to create my own division of the Blood Angels, the Frostblood Brethren. This is mainly influenced by the power and versatility of the Baal Predator and Stormraven Gunship, units available specifically to the Blood Angels (pictured below). These vehicles, as well as the insane amount of jump infantry available to the Blood Angels, will allow me to create an extremely fast army that can get into close combat quickly and decimate the enemy. Choppy armies, as they are known in 40k parlance, are by far my favorite, and the Blood Angels are one of the choppiest. I will include pictures and army lists as I build and paint my units.

I am sure, as always, that this journey will allow my creativity to flow and will be profoundly enjoyable. I will post more about the novel and the army as soon as I can. Thank you to any readers who stuck it out through the silence of the past months.
