Ah me, how time flies.

It's done now, if any care to read. It's not the ending I expected to write, and it's certainly later than I expected to write it. But it's the ending it needed, these three years, nine months, and six days later.

I wish I had seen this earlier!

A poignant end. :) If anyone else sees this, what is everyone up to? I'm graduating from undergrad and heading off to graduate school soon for history. Aside from some creative fiction classes I took, I don't write much anymore outside of academic writing.

I'm four years out of college now (B.A. in Creative Writing & Anthropology) and managing an ice cream shop in Western Massachusetts—definitely not what I expected to be doing, but it's a living. Probably going to move to NYC sometime in the next year, more for a change of pace than anything.

Still writing, working on one project set in the real world and one in the same invented world I started building when I was first here; unfortunately I don't have nearly as much time as I was expecting when I graduated, so progress has been slow. I've also been working on an abstract strategy board game that I think I want to put on Kickstarter if I can get it off the ground, but that's slow going too with all of the pieces involved.

I wonder who else is still around these parts; I've seen a couple familiar names check in occasionally. Flabbergasted to see that something like Revolt Lovers is still around from '06, and also RuneSpace, which I didn't realize had inspired certain bits of my writing as much as it did. Funny how I occasionally uncover inspirations like that.

Good to hear you're still working on stuff. For me, all there is to write is pages and pages of mind-numbing history. I think I've got three 25 page research papers due at the end of this month, so it's going to be a hell of a time. I miss the days when I could kick out whatever's been rattling around in my skull. But, I get paid to write history and I've got no debt, so I guess I can't complain.

There are quite a few forumers who bump a bunch of the old stories every now and again. I don't know who they are or where they come from, but hey, they keep a bit of the forum's history alive.

It just occurred to me today that it'd been much too long since I last popped in here. Nice to see you old-timers around. I, too, have no clue who the bumpers are, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of familiar old threads alive and kicking.

I'm currently at university studying Political Science, so I probably won't be churning out any full-length novels anytime soon. I got my second book published back in August, though – a collection of poetry, this time.

I also worked all summer on a screenplay for a short film which will begin shooting sometime in the spring, if all goes according to plan. Been teaching some creative writing classes as well.

All in all, I'm just really happy to still be able to continue working on literary projects as much as my studies allow. // Wordsmith ~ The Novelists' Guild // Viking //
