A returning

Wed Oct 7, 2009, 9:49 AM
Well, I have been gone from here quite some time, haven't I? I wonder who among you is still active/watching me.

Well, I've been growing quite a bit as a writer, and am expecting to post some new stuff, like the new chapters of Powers That Be that I've been working on (consider all previous chapters void... they're all void) and also a Swords and Sorcery story for now simply called "Hakor" after the primary character.

Well then, let's summarize the last half year or so so you all know what's up.

First off, I am now in a wonderful relationship with a very intelligent woman whom is a writer herself. She has been a great inspiration and a drive for me for the last 7 months.

Secondly, I am now very involved in a local Warhammer club and am organizing a tourney as we speak. This takes up some of my time. Previously mentioned intelligent woman plays Warhammer with me, and its been great being able to share the hobby.

Third, classes are hectic as always. I am currently reading early 20th century British Literature, specifically the Bloomsbury group, for a very intense class. This is taking up a good portion of my time, as well as all the other study intensive classes!

Fourth, I previously mentioned my great aunt to you all. She has passed on, and while I took it very hard for a while, I am feeling much better now about it knowing how she is in a better place than here.

Fifth, some of you may have known about roommate troubles in the past. I am now rooming with a very good friend, and it is working out great. He does have his flaws, but so does everyone.

Lastly, I am glad to be back here. It feels nice to have this place to showcase some of my meager writing to a community that is supportive.

Sincerely,
Jake
