Re: OT: Lost Authors

["Kimber" <feralspirit@xxxxxxxx>]

MIA List Matriarch here.

I can't speak for other authors of course, but I figured that I may owe my sibs an explaination or three for my current status as list tourist rather than active author.

Shit goes down, life gets in the way. Yadda, yadda. . .that's all very true. BUT (you knew that was coming) I've been disheartened by some feedback Irecieved from my last posted chapter of the neverending road series. As always, I'm overly sensative and take everything to heart, so I re-evaluatedmy position and the future of the fic. . .and still am. That's not to saythat I've totally dropped it. . .yet. . .that's to say that I need to do some serious thinking and maybe even revising. My co-author, Alan, and I haven't been able to coordinate our schedules as of late because we've both recently embarked on brand spanking new relationships (me with a cute lil redhead with green eyes ::swoon::) and him with a beautiful brunette with great eyes and a killer smile. *grin*

I dunno what it is, and I've gone through this in the past with feedback, Iguess I just care too much what people think of it. I could get 1200 greatresponses and one not so great and I'll focus on the latter rather than the first *shrug*.

Other than that, real life has kicked me in the ass. I've been sick since June with trachial bronchitis....I have a lump in my throat they thought wascancer (big scare, but it's not so it's all good) and I have to schedule surgery to have it removed. which will put me outa commission and unable to speak for at least 3 weeks after surgery. Also I'm outa work and trying toregister for classes for next semester and I'm having problems with the ex (whom I was with for five years and we broke up 2 weeks ago and haven't spoken since) and I'm trying to wrap around my head the fact that even though a five year relationship went down the tubes, I have this wonderful person in my life now that's liked me for the looooooooooongest time ever ever (she's my best friends sister and I've known her since she was 6!!!)

So, that's what's been goin on in my life. hehe...perhaps too much information but, hey, I felt like sharing and for the past 2 almost 3 years, you guys have been like family to me.

Bottom line is, I'll start writing again, and since I have so much inspiration in my redheaded green-eyed adorable lil chickie, it shouldn't be too hard.

There's just something about redheads *sigh*
