I Suck

Where are all the movie reviews? 

Why wasn't a tribute written for recently deceased stars like Gene Hackman or James Earl Jones? 

 

What happened to the deep dives into movie news and history? 

 

Not even a squeak regarding tariffs or recent major news items? 

 

Were the promised weekly podcasts just a prank? 

 

Is the weekly serialized fiction the biggest running gag in the site's history? 

 

Can I deliver anything I promise? 

 

Can I be trusted? 

 Am I being too hard on myself? 

 

Well, the above title was a little harsh. I don't actually suck, but I am disappointed that 2025 hasn't been the rainbow and Skittles I had envisioned on January 1st. 

 

The rough patch that was 2024 has crawled into this year. Achieving balance with my mental health and gaining a sense of control has taken longer than I had hoped, but I am sticking with therapy, taking medication, and seeking out support. 

 

My goals for the site and my career haven't diminished. If anything, they have grown stronger. I am grateful that so many readers and listeners have proven to be so patient during this little battle. 

I hate disappointing people, but my emotional state has struggled as I scramble for work. I have a few glimmers of hope right now with a few opportunities that could get my writing career back on track. 

 

For now, I will continue to focus on the positives and the small wins. Each review, podcast episode, and article is a step forward, and there will be more of those steps in the coming weeks. 

 

Thank you for sticking with me. There is so much still to come.
