...I've resolved to take the 40-day fast from Newgrounds activity like I did last year. So I'll be inactive from midnight 13 February to midnight 31 March.
Now I imagine people would ask, why NG and not something else? For starters, a lot of my personal work is on NG, and I've been spending time -- a lot of time -- checking how well my stuff's been doing. I would like to take time off from this, get some space, learn to not worry about stats and figures, and concentrate on the main reason behind the songs I make -- I would like them to be heartfelt acts of love and praise, whatever the genre.
I also want to take this time to learn to worry less about myself and think more about looking out for others. In addition to the people who turn to me for help every now and then, I also have the CCM band, Kingdom of Herts, and we've resolved to get our debut album out by the end of the academic year. And K of H is not intended to be an "I" thing, but a "we" thing.
NG is likely not the only thing I'll be abstaining from... I need less YouTube activity as well (certainly less Chuggaaconroy, considering how seemingly addicted I've become!). But I digress......
For the next few days, you'll still see me around, no worries! But if you suddenly see TroisNyxEtienne blipping out and disappearing for a long while, well, that's what's going on. Just thought I'd let you know!

A noble endeavor... something I should think about as well. Newgrounds has become so time consuming for me.

NG, and to varying degrees InfiniteLooper and YouTube, have consumed my time. InfiniteLooper especially has been an opening for me to succumb to temptations. I could take FB off my list, but quite a few of my closest friends and intercessors are there, and it's only right that I come on there (on video no less!) and let them know how I'm doing.
And at any rate, a lot of us still have Skype should we want to catch up with each other, which helps. : )
