guilty parties

There is a far less valid reason for why I have not written here. I consider this project in meeting word counts and posting schedule to be my personal exercise of art. It certainly is not material that will get me published or worthy of publishing but I feel that it helps me hone my craft. I have not felt comfortable participating in a personal art project when I have long neglected a writing commitment to others. How can I justify the time? I cannot and I would not attempt to do so. So what am I doing here, now?
