Welcome, and welcome back!
I also find MIzahar to be a great outlet for my creativity. And sometimes I find it's a form of escapism. I work in an engineering field, so it's great to be able to write in a flexible creative setting and focus on fun and interesting plots rather than concise technical writing.
I know I've seen you in chat, but I wanted to send my warm regards. And if you need any help, feel free to message me.
