Goodbye · 5:08pm Mar 18th, 2022

I am sorry for leading everyone on but my choices have been made for me. I am entering Hospice and will be unable to finish my stories. Anyone who wishes to pick one up and run with it is more than welcome.

I'd like to thank everyone for the moments of peace and entertainment that they have gifted me with through their stories. Please know that even when it's not said explicitly, your contributions have value.

I'm slow these days. I cycle between stupid mode (taking enough IQ lowering pills to be numb) and vicious mode (the opposite of numb). The in between time when I can do useful things is precious and must be rationed. But the doctors say that they're not giving up until they figure it out.

I'm slowly but surely crawling back out into the sun. There's a new story building and once it's launched, I will pick up the old ones for continuation. That's going to mean some rewrites and false starts but such is life. Who knows how far I'll get this time.

I'm learning things about myself and about this site. I've learned that the harder I work, the less creative I am. I've found out that I have fans but I'm not real sure why. And there's a few friends out there.

This story was intended to be a one off quicky just to play with a concept. By the time I could get it to some sort of logical conclusion, I had two sequels outlined. I have no idea when I'll finish them or how many offshoots they'll spawn.

Ain't life fun?

I'm going to slow down a little. I want to concentrate more on quality than quantity. On the upside, chapters will be bigger.

This is getting more fun and more complicated at the same time. What I wish for most is a collaborator. I need help giving range to the characters' voices.

I am still learning how this place works. Writing fiction is new to me also. But there are high points. I am discovering that I have friends. They don't say much but they are there in the statistics. I'm going to try not to let them down.
