If you've been following this space closely, first, I'd like to say thank you. Second, I'm sure you've noticed things have gone a bit quiet here. I apologize for the slowdown in content. As for an explanation, there are three reasons.
All of the history happening in July 2024 got to me. Every unprecedented development making headlines that month had me doom scrolling for hours with the news hoping for some positive development. My productivity was completely annihilated in this time period, and I imagine the November election will be just as stressful. If you're wondering where I lean on everything, I'll only say Black lives matter, trans rights are human rights, and everyone should have the right to choose in both what they do with their body and who they love. If those statements upset you, stay pissy. They should not be considered political statements. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I'm a one-human team. This is an anti-generative AI space. Everything you see on Nocturne Books and Media is written by a human being. That human being also works a 40 hour a week 9 to 5 day job as a chemist Finding time for family, friends, or to indulge in a little relaxation is very difficult.
My thesis is coming up. This is the big one. I've officially begun my last semester of my MFA program and I'm fast at work on my thesis. It's stressful, scary, and also a lot of fun. Taking time away from that is ill-advised.
What does this mean? It means a slowdown until December 2024. Worry not dear readers, while you won't hear much from me over the next few months, Nocturne isn't dead, only sleeping. Things won't stay completely silent. I have a few books on deck to review that I'm really excited about, and an overdue guest post on another website.
I love you all, dear night creatures, and I'm so glad to have you with me on this journey. Thank you for your support.
Dance with the night, and stay nocturnal.
-Eli
