I know most of you don't read these, but still. · 2:33am Feb 23rd, 2017
All right guys. Here I am.
Almost two years since my mother passed away.
I've taken a lot of time to work through things, and now that there's some semblance of normalcy again in my life, I think I'm ready to take a stab at writing again.
That being said, I feel like Integration, my most important project, was rushed and poorly written. So, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and rewrite that whole thing. I'll be cherry picking parts from the original which I like, but by and large I feel like I've matured both as a person and a writer and that ergo the story would benefit from greater care being taken.
Echo is still a huge part of who I am, believe it or not. The way I write, my characters become a part of me. They write the story, not me. I'm just along for the ride. The advantage of this is that writing comes easily. The disadvantage is that my mindset has a strong influence on what happens in the story. That's part of why I needed to take time away from writing; the past two years of my life have been consumed with thoughts about death and grief in general.
However, for those few of you who even remember me at this point...
I'm back. I'm starting work on the rewrite tonight.
See you soon, friends. For those of you who read this, I thank you for your loyalty and exemplary patience in waiting all this time, and I love you all.

Glad to see you back. And may the muse be with you.
4433150 Thanks. I believe I recall your name from the last time I was seriously active on this site, and if that's the case, like I said above, thanks for sticking around.
4433176 Life is a jerk for hitting us all hard at times. That you can return, and have your muse with you after such a shitty thing to happen, is nothing short of astounding. So welcome back.
And if i ever get a chance to kick life in the jibblies, or you, take it!
4433195 You may find my writing style significantly changed. Maybe it won't be that dramatic. I'm not entirely sure...
My outlook on life has certainly changed though and I suspect that will show at least a little for those astute enough to notice.
I'm gonna be changing the story around quite a bit. It'll be a bit more in the future than the last iteration was.
We saved you a place by the fire.
4433263 Thanks.
Ah, been quite some time since I've seen your name bantered about. Welcome back, glad you're feeling a bit better these days.
Should you want some outside eyes on stuff or aid, feel free to PM me or catch me on the public Discord server, Coal. I recall being engrossed in your story and its sequel, so wouldn't mind lending a hand if it's needed.
Welcome back.
I remember marking your story. I didnt want to get into it because I hate unfinished stories. Welcome back ^^
Glad you're back. They are good stories with interesting and engaging ideas. That said, I call them good stories, not great ones. I am excited about you decision to rewrite the stories.
Glad you're back
Welcome back, nice to read from you again.
I am glad to see you are back as well. I am excited to read your new interpretation on Echo and Scoots.
4433266 Did you plan changing one chapter at time? Or rewrite whole story to the point where you left and then update it?
Cool beans.
Welcome back, you have been missed. It's good to know that things are better now.
So, a rewrite, huh? Well, I will certainly gladly see how you'll spruce the story up
Welcome back
Glad to see you back.
Welcome back, and those that do read these appreciate the updates.
4433384 Total rewrite. When I publish the first chapter of the new rewrite, I'll also post an update chapter to the old one and officially cancel it.
Man, everyones coming back suddenly
