I haven't been posting too much on Steem lately, mostly because I've been extremely busy these past couple of days. Some of you might have noticed that I've also started powering down, but this is nothing to worry about. I'm just going to power down once and cancel it after I've received my first payment of Steem. 

The articles I have been writing were mainly for Oracle-D tasks, those aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea, but they really help me grow my account. Kinda silly that I'm powering down then, but more on that later...

## Too Much Work
I'm currently trying to spread my time working on about 5 different projects and more projects will be added in the future. 

While I'm not at liberty to talk about everything, I can say that I'm possibly going to be working towards creating something really neat for Steem, together with the founders of Oracle-D. We've been having some really interesting voice chats on Discord about a potential new project, which could benefit a lot of people on Steem, while also making Steem more attractive for businesses. 

Aside from that, there's the work I'm doing over at the Bitcointalk forum, which I'm currently also having trouble with to get it all done in time. I have weekly deadlines I I have to meet and it's been hard to combine that with all these different projects as well. 

Then there's the company I'm starting up with [Meredith L. Patterson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_L._Patterson), which doesn't take up too much of my time currently, but I'm still trying to be somewhat involved in that process. 

To top it off, I've been getting more paid writing gigs and the current one I'm working on is experiencing some delay. All very interesting stuff, but very tiring.

## Powering Down

As I've mentioned, I'm currently powering down some of my Steem Power. I'm just in need of some temporary cash-flow and I don't mind using my Steem Power for that, just this once; I reckon that the rewards I'm getting from my Oracle-D posts will fill in that gap pretty quickly. 

I might use some of the Steem to get another SP lease, since my vote isn't worth as much since I've lost my previous leases.

## What's Next? 

My usual posting schedule will resume very soon. Tomorrow I'm going to be publishing an article about a really neat P2P loan platform called Nitrogen. If you leave a helpful comment on that post tomorrow, I'll give you a 100% upvote! I'm at 100% VP, so I don't mind spending some on comments, plus my client will appreciate seeing good feedback! 

I still can't drink any alcohol, so no regular beer reviews yet, though I have been thinking about doing a review of a great non-alcoholic beer that I really enjoy drinking. Stay tuned for that! 

Thanks for sticking with me! I really enjoy reading the couple of comments that I'm still getting on my Oracle-D posts, even though those posts might not interest everyone.
