Thanks, Yrolg. I appreciate it.

...It also appears that it's going to have to stay as is because my subscription to my word processor program just expired. Looks like those two poems I had in the works will have to stay in the works for now.

I read "The Clock, the Board, and the Souls" after your comments and I must say it was interesting. It's very subtly toned and it allows you to focus on the raw concept which I find effective. It was a good read. I'll try to go through a few other stories when it's not a ridiculous hour of the early morning.

Any new works in the making Yam?

I wish I could say that there were. I keep trying to write poetry, but much to my dismay (and an odd similarity to Anne Bradstreet), I can't get the metre to work. If that weren't hindering me, I have a poem that's nearly finished.

I have another short piece kicking around in my head, entitled something along the lines of "Philosophy Rides on Wheels"; however, that's going to be nothing but four pages of me arguing with myself (and to be quite honest, I don't think anyone wants to read that).

I stopped writing my full-length story because I didn't like how the prologue changes pace and tone halfway through. Plus, I don't think the action sequences would be frequent or long enough to satisfy the reader, as the story is essentially nothing but two men arguing about the effectiveness of violence versus the effectiveness of mercy. I don't exactly think I can drag that out into a full-length story.

I thought about writing a steampunk story, but I can't seem to get it to focus on the technology while revealing something important about human nature or society (which is one of the main functions of that genre).

I was going to rewrite "Voice From the Shadows", but I don't really want to write a gory battle scene anymore.

Heck, I've even postponed work on the Grammar Guide.

On top of all that, there are some things in the real world that warrant my current attention, and that should have had my attention long ago. As much as I'd like to churn out some new, grandiose, awesome work, I just don't think I can do it right now. Sorry to disappoint.
