Dear friends near and far,

I hope you are all having a lovely holiday season! Happy belated Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. 

How have you all been doing?  With those that read these diary entries from all around the world, I’m sure each of you have been having your own unique experience during this season.  It’s been my honor to have gotten to know so many different people and unique beautiful personalities during my journeys with creating mods all these years.

I’m happy to announce that I’m finally getting an upgrade on my hardware to continue my development of Raven of the Reach!  My laptop was on its last legs, and it was a bit stressful knowing it might not turn on again.  Having some new improved specs are going to help me with accomplishing this great mod and less crashes on the Creation Kit (hopefully).

With the New Year I want to make some goals for a more organized workflow and tasks for myself to complete bug fixes, quests, and a smoother gameplay experience for the players.  I’m grateful to have been aided by much more organized people that have helped me along the way and taught me some new apps to make things easier to manageable.  I am grateful for each person’s help, patience, kindness and helping me through so much.

This is a time for reflection back on this year and hopes for the New Year to come.  So much change has happened over the past year and it’s left my head spinning.  I wonder if any of you also feel a bit overwhelmed and excited by change as well?

My hopes for you and me is that we have a wonderful year of creativity, harmony and compassion towards others.  A new year full of laughs, love, and friendships that we continue to cultivate and grow either online or in person.  There are so many good things to look forward too and I hope that each of you are blessed in this new season to come.

I look forward to doing some future trailer and photos on the new hardware and I’m hoping it will continue to entertain and inspire you guys. 

Take care and have a wonderful season!
