   Hey nytquill,
   
  We don't know each other very well but I want to tell you that I feel the same way
  most days but once I find my way back here I feel much better. Try not to be too discouraged; life is too fast these days.

  Thanks, everyone :)
  
  As you can see, I'm not exactly gone.  Too addicted to this place!    I guess I'm more afraid than anything else.  I'm facing down a lot of emotions and things in real life and it's wearing me out, and to come here and see no views and no replies...meh.  But I'm not fishing for comments, here.  I'm being egotistical, but honest at least!
  
  If there is interest, it keeps me going.  If there isn't, I'll always be back when I have the emotional energy to keep myself going (I kinda don't have that right now but I am holding on, and professional help will be a part of the picture soon.  I just have to keep holding on until then!)  I can't really keep myself away ;)
  
  Anyway.  I feel a little silly mentioning it again but I think it's only fair - I had posted an original short story not too long ago and took it down yesterday because I didn't want to leave original work on an abandoned blog.  I was being impulsive :p  It's a new-and-improved version of an attempt at "serious" fiction (as opposed to genre fiction) that I made back in college.  I'm best and most at home with science-fiction but I kind of like this one and I'm pretty proud of this newly revised version.  It's got a maritime flavor, if that piques anyone's interest.  Anyway, like I said I feel a little silly and self-promoting - but what the hell, most writers don't get anywhere without a little shameless self-promotion! So if anyone is interested in seeing it posted again let me know and I will put it back up.
  
  And thanks again for all your comments; it really picked me up this morning. :)  I'll keep hanging in there and see what happens.  That's all anyone can really do, right?

  Aw, Nytquill, I know just how you feel.  It does seem like there has been a general slowing down of activity on the site in general... both in posting and in commenting.  Has anyone else noticed that?  Or is it just that I've become so addicted to this that I can't get enough?  I mean, I'm glad that all the turmoil of the first part of the year is just about done.  But I was kind of hoping it would be replaced with some more positive posts. And there have been those, but things just seem a bit deserted around here.  I can't quite put my finger on it.

   Well, shucks, Nytquill... after I just figured out your name and everything.  To tell you the truth, thanks to some recent posts on how to use the site, I'm just figuring out how to find people when i want to and to keep up with my conversations.  I'd like to read your story, if you put a comment here to let me know that you posted it.  If you do go, I hope you come back.  I understand that it is sometimes good to take a break.  I've tried to do it myself, but the only time I was successful in keeping away was when I was on the road.

  Don't disappear, I do read your posts. I sadly rarely have time to comment on them or on the many others I would like to. I hope you'll stcik around.

• nytquill17 said on Feb 06, 2007....

  The story is back up.  It might not stay there permanently but I'm really interested in hearing what others think of it.  This is the only English-speaking venue I have to test my work in, at the moment!  Let me know if there are any problems; I'm not sure how SoulCast will handle such a long post.
  
  Okay, okay, you guys have won me over.  I think I was just in a low point.  Well, I still am, as a matter of fact, but thanks for the response.  I promise I'm not posting about quitting just to get attention, but the fact that I did get attention makes me think twice about the whole thing.  So thanks guys, and I'll keep trying as I have the energy! :)

  quill,
  sometimes you have to say, "Hey, I am feeling bad and I need attention here". Even if it isn't what you conciously meant. Otherwise no one knows. As long as everyother post isn't like that I don't see a problem.

  SW:  You make me all fuzzy inside!
  
  Normie:  I think you put your finger right on it.  I think this was my unconscious way of doing just that.  Don't worry, every other post won't be like that!  I will try to do my part to keep the attention coming ;)  And next time, if there is a next time, I will pay more attention to my own signals and try to say straight out and honest what I really mean :)  Thanks for understanding!

  Ed is right, you know. ;-) There are at least two of us who'll be around. (Even when I'm not actively posting, you're in my thoughts!)
  

• nytquill17 said on Feb 07, 2007....

  Infernal:  Thank you.  It matters ;)  You are in mine, as well - hope all is well with your little linebacker!
