+# Quick update
+
+So I know it looks like I've abandoned the blog. As it would turn out, I
+haven't! ––
+
+!["abandon": cease to support or look after (someone); desert.](static/media/07-abandon.png)
+
+Okay, I *guess* I've abandoned the blog a little. But the second definition
+there certainly hasn't happened:
+
+!["abandon": give up completely (a course of action, a practice, or a way of thinking).](static/media/07-abandon-2.png)
+
+I've actually been looking for things to write about. I've had a little bit of
+trouble since I mostly haven't made very many things in the last couple weeks
+(wait, *three* weeks..? Sorry - really.), but I've made a few things now, so I
+can share those.
+
+## A Discord game
+
+I wrote a bit of code for a Discord multi-user-dungeon/domain/what*ever*. It's
+almost definitely not going to go anywhere, but it's the first time I've really
+written any code in the last week or so, and I'd rathre not get rusty.
+
+The test server isn't public right now, since that's all it is - a bot testing
+server. It's also kind of a collaboration with a friend of mine[\*]; we haven't
+really figured out any of the story. At all. At *all.* We also have basically
+no experience with games like this, either (or really any multiplayer games),
+so this is really just a programming project for me, haha.
+
+(\* His online username changes every half-week or so, but right now it's
+[lightblub][lightblub]. If you look for the user "alex" in
+[this GitHub organization][coolandgood] that he and I are a part of, you can probably find him. Hey, I'm not giving you instructions on how to stalk his
+every move, just a means of seeing all the cool projects he's worked on!
+`SMILEY_FACE.`)
+
+## Some art
+
+I did a little bit of art? Not near as much as I wanted to, though.
+
+![SPOILERS!!!! it's a bowl of vegetables and/or vegetables.](static/media/07-my-art-is-deteriorating.png)
+
+This drawing's supposedly supposed to be a picture of a bowl of fruits and
+vegetables and whatnot. Everybody else was drawing things without using any
+line art at all, so, I guess I tried to do something, too? It's not
+particularly good though!
+
+## [The story](posts/4-wrote-a-thing.html)
+
+I didn't work on the story.
+
+I know - disappointing. I still *like* the idea for the story, but I didn't go
+far with it. That's kind of been how most of my stories go - and many of my
+non-writing related projects too, I guess. Maybe I'll pick up with the idea
+again eventually, since writing stories still sounds like a really cool idea to
+me, but I haven't really felt like it lately. The trouble is that I haven't
+gotten any ideas, any spurts of, "oh, *this* would work" - but that kind of
+stems from the fact that I didn't really bother thinking about it much. So!
+Again, maybe I'll work on it again eventually. When I feel like writing, I'll
+have a (bare beginning of a) story to go to, so, who knows? I'll probably see
+more of it, eventually.
+
+## So.
+
+Such ends the Quick(tm) update.
+
+Since I know there's thousands of you readers dying to comment on my posts,
+it really doesn't take any effort - you can sign up for Disqus right through
+the commenting form at the bottom of all post pages, and that's not even
+*necessary*, since you can also use Google or Twitter just like that!
+(Or, ugh, Facebook.)
+
+(You lost the game. Okay, bye!)
