Hello again, @irreverent-dan. It's become apparent that I've over-leveraged myself. When I didn’t hear back after responding to that call for curators, I had just assumed that I would not been chosen to participate in the delegation study. Since then I’ve taken on a few projects, including a demanding long-form writing project that is consuming most of my time and efforts. Because of this, I don’t feel that I currently have the time needed to use your delegated Steem properly and effectively. Please feel free to undelegate—I apologize for this and really do appreciate you taking a chance on me (despite it not paying off) and the efforts you’re making towards developing and growing the Steemit platform. If a time comes when I feel I can use a delegated amount properly and responsibly, I will re-engage you to see if you’re still looking for curators/creators. Again, thank you for the opportunity.

Hey man, don't worry about it :) Good luck with your projects and we'll keep in touch!

Damn, I'm so sorry. I had no idea that it had been delegated—I've been writing "in the background" developing new material. I remember looking at my wallet a while back and thinking that the greyed number number below my STEEM POWER looked bigger than I had remembered it, but—admittedly—I don't fully understand how that value works and did not think it was something that I actually had available for use.

I certainly appreciate the delegation—I'll start putting it to work.
