What fills and soothes the soul will vary, but for me, I will not know until I try.

    Where am I going? What am I doing?

    So, the show is officially over. I've given my well wishes and thanked everyone. The ending did get to me. I wasn't fond of the epilogue, but I loved the 2 part finale.

    Anyways, I wanted to give a heads up on what is going on.

    Where the hay are the updates?

    Long time no-post, I guess. To put it blunt, I feel burned out on writing. This isn't to say I give up, but more that updates are gonna be exceedingly slow for a bit as I'm dealing with real life stuff at the moment. I'm in my final semester of college, and the 2nd to last class is really working me over. I hope I can pass the class. Still, there is a bit of doubt in my mind as the material

    Well that took a long time

    Opened my mail today to see that Diary of the Banished got rejected from The Royal Guard. I expect rejection anymore, yet what surprised me was the fact I got an actual response with some critiques. At this point, I fell ambivalent towards the criticisms. It's through writing that I get a great sense of pleasure and crave this type of interaction to better myself as a writer. It is through

    Slow Updates (Possible Mini-Hiatus)

    To reiterate what was stated in the previous blog, real life comes first. Though it's only two classes, I'm really engrossed with one class that requires a good 75% of my attention due to its difficulty. Story update wise, I have some concept down for Diary of the Banished and Full Bloom.

    Updates coming

    I want to apologize to the readers who are expecting updates to several of my stories. Real life comes first, as is the motto, so I'm having to put off my stories for a little bit. With all of that being said however, there are updates coming. After my finals next week, I will have some free time to start working on my stuff again.

The Ever Present Problem · 12:51am Apr 26th, 2013

Sorry if I seem inactive lately. This is due to a mixture of real life problems and my sudden mental block when it comes to writing. From the novice of novices to the most masterful of writers, it seems we all suffer from that evil thing of writer's block. I held that muse in my hand and watched the beautiful creature dance around playful with my mind almost fluttering with ideas on how to make stories work. Things meshed so well together while the muse within my mind would tell me "this will work" or "this might work if you try it this way," tantalizing me with words of wisdom. Sadly, all things seem to grind to a halt for some reason or another. It is only now that I realize what I had since it seems gone. Part of me is thankful that I can still hear that voice on the wind, from time to time. I hope to chat with that creature once more, and see if she can help my writing soar to even greater heights.
