I have deleted my main twitter account. This might come as a shock to people who have followed me for a while on the site. No doubt it will be a 10 year project laid to a sad rest, with a whopping 3000+ followers and who knows how many posts. But it hasn't come from nowhere and I feel justified in my reasons for doing so.

My main reasons for leaving boil down to the following:

1: Ive been feeling like its wasting my time. Instead of sitting down to do something productive, I'd spend more time browsing the site and responding to tweets. I don't know exactly how many hours I would spend, but it was still more than I was becoming comfortable with.

2: I suspect my creativity has become warped by it, to where any sustained effort into a project that would take an extended period of time became something I dreaded to do.

There are other reasons. Undoubtedly the drama and fighting are tiresome. Much of it seems manufactured because drama sells and our attention is the precious commodity of our day. But I'd like to get to a point where I can invest time in being creative again. To put time and energy into long term projects once more, even if they wind up being a collage of different mediums.

It hasn't been perfect if i'm being honest. I've been dedicating time to a worldbuilding project for the last couple weeks or so. That can be found here. It takes a bunch of old ideas, some of which I came up with in junior high and high school 15+ years ago, and mashes them with newer ideas from a couple of years ago to the present. Theres no real end goal with this project at the moment. If anything, beyond just trying to exercise some general consistency and perseverance, it's a vehicle for coming up with small stories within the world. There are a number of them.

I might try to get my newgrounds up and running at some point too. But that's a big might.
