Just wanted to let everybody know that I'll be offline for a couple of weeks at least. Don't burn the forum down while I'm gone ok?

The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things—the beauty, the memory of our own past—are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

All the things that have deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it—tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear... We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want . . . which we shall still desire on our deathbeds . . . ~C.S. Lewis

Here George, have a cucumber and be good.

Nessa- She's given up the veil, the vows she'd sworn, abandoned every effort to conform. Without a word to anyone she's gone her way alone, a dove escaping back into the storm.

Nolan- And though I don't understand why this happened, I know that I will when I look back someday, and see how you've brought beauty from ashes, and made me as gold purified through the flames.

Azriel- And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart? You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back to me. Don't come back at all...

We'll be good. Resident reptiles are another story.

Enjoy your netcation, Mrs. Raven! We all need those.

I'll be good, but I can't speak for my characters.... I'll try to keep them on the low-down till you get back. ;)

Enjoy your time away!! I hope it's a blessing to you!

I already miss your sage advice Mama Raven! I will be a good girl and refrain myself from fire starting.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

When you return you shall find one of two things.

1. Absolute chaotic chaos.
2. A nice, clean, tidy house that looks better than when you left it.

I'm afraid it depends on how many dragon friends George drags in, how many Scifi forum characters escape over here, and how many words behind our Nanowrimo novels are. But we'll do our best to be good kids. :D

Somehow I find the phrase "burn marks in sight" mildly disturbing...

Welcome back WR!

Yeah! and my Essence Rebellion hasn't turned the world upside down yet either. :D

That's mostly because I'm waiting to see what Jay comes up with first... it's hard to rebel against an invisible enemy. :roll:

Thanks much guys! It's nice to feel loved. :)

Speaking of that rebellion I'm heading over there now to read up on it
and hopefully make some meaningful contributions. :book:
