I do this just for fun -- but sometimes I take myself a little too seriously. I know life's too short, but -- you know...

Disappearing Stories · 11:32pm May 24th, 2014

I have decided that some of my stories needed to be removed. The stories I deleted were ones I was not satisfied with -- either the writing was not up to my personal expectation or the fan response didn't meet my approval. Additionally, I also felt that the stories I removed were cluttering up my list of stories and that a spring cleaning was needed.

It's Good to Take a Break Sometimes · 8:08pm May 22nd, 2014

To all of my followers, thank you for your support.

I have decided to take a break from posting updates to my stories -- those of you who have followed me long enough have already seen a significant drop-off in the frequency of my postings. Rest assured, I will still pop in from time to time, but I most likely won't be posting much anymore. I believe it may be awhile before my muse returns, so until then, I beg your patience while I go chase after her.

Sorry I Haven't Updated Recently · 11:38pm May 13th, 2014

I am sure there are a few of you who follow me who are looking forward to the next installment of your favorite story.

I apologize for not having updated, but my personal life has hit a few speed-bumps and I have discovered another distraction which seems to occupy more and more of my time. I have been writing a little here and there on a few of my stories, but I haven't had a great deal of inspiration lately.

Tacos · 4:38am Apr 17th, 2014

It has come to my attention that sometimes tacos are needed.

They are my comfort food, especially when the meat filling is chorizo, and drizzled with hot sauce...

I follow the Fluffle Puff tumblr account and also noticed her Element is Tacos -- perhaps I should ask her for some.

I have to go satisfy my craving now.

Why I Write · 1:33pm Feb 11th, 2014

It was probably about three years ago when fanart of Twilight caught my eye on deviantart -- at first, I thought it was cute and really didn't give it much more thought than that. As more fanart came to my attention, it piqued my curiosity, so I started checking it out. About a year and a half ago, a very fascinating story caught my eye, and I was hooked on fanfiction. I began searching

Hard Times are Hard · 4:47pm Dec 26th, 2013

I apologize for not posting regular updates -- my financial situation has made things very difficult, so accessing the internet is rather dicey these days. As soon as I can get some footing back, I'll be making regular updates when I can. There are plans for a change of location in the near future, so I may be gone for awhile.
Thanks for your patience.
-Mike

Story Status Update · 2:50am Nov 20th, 2013

Okay, so I have too many stories active at one time -- I believe I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but writer's block has a tendency to stop my progress on a particular story, and other ideas strike my fancy to initiate new stories. So if you're following a particular story of mine, here's the current status of those stories.

It's been a year · 9:18pm Oct 19th, 2013

It's been a year since I joined this site to post stories. I am quite grateful to those of you who have chosen to follow me, more so to those of you who have upvoted my stories, and to those of you who have given favorites to various stories of mine.

I had wanted to spend more time writing and updating -- there are quite a few more stories I would like to add, but time has been such an issue for me, not to mention the fact that I sometimes suffer from block.

Chicago · 1:59pm Oct 3rd, 2013

My job has had me running like crazy lately -- for the past several weeks, I have been making runs to Chicago for extra money. The paychecks look really nice, but those 3 hour trips take a huge toll on me -- not to mention having to work on 4 or 5 hours of sleep each night. My updates have suffered as a result.

Dis-a-POINTED! · 2:23am Jul 7th, 2013

I go to the trouble of pouring my heart and soul into a story I think is worthy of being featured -- an idea I think has some originality and merit to it. Unfortunately, it fails to meet with much approval, and worse still, when I ask for any feedback, I get none, other than people deciding they don't like it and down-voting it.
