state of the nation

so i figure a bit of an update is in order. i've had a few setbacks as of late, the primary one being my computer hard drive died. this means i lost everything, including all of my writing. this is the second time something like this has happened to me. i was halfway done my manuscript. this would have been the third time i have attempted it. i should have backed up my hard drive when i had the chance. you'd think i'd know better by now, but apparently i don't. am i doing this to myself subconsciously? perhaps. self-sabotage happens to be quite a common human trait.
ultimately, i'm not too worried by the loss of my writing. i'll probably return to it, but my primary focus will be my exams and finishing my financial planner certification. hopefully that isn't too far away. perhaps afterwards i'll have more time to start writing seriously and perhaps even dedicate a bit more time to my blog.
