Hello, everyone. As some of you may have noticed, I've been absent around the forums lately. After re-evaluating my priorities and my time management, I've concluded that I need to cut back on my time around the forum somewhat and focus more on my writing and life in general. When I am around, my intention is to focus more on writing and its offshoots and less on the social interaction. If I come to chat, it will be to discuss things related to writing.

Just a heads up, so you know what's going on if I seem to be around less.

I noticed your absence! We will miss you, Tarin, but very well done in focusing on your writing etc! I shall get back into PMing you and my other writing partner, sorry it's been a while! :D

We miss you, Tarin!

But thanks for telling us and I hope all goes well with your writing. I hope you'll let us know how it is coming along for you. ^_^

I'll miss seeing you around as much, but understand the reasons for doing so. :)

I will miss seeing you around, though I understand completely. I hope your time away is productive!

It's up and down. Some days are great, some days not so much. But I'm getting back into the flow of actually writing something, even if it's not my series, and I am making headway. I'm not sure when I'll actually start rewriting my series. I am working on some short stories that might go somewhere interesting. :)

Thanks for asking.

I'm glad to hear your progressing some on it! At least you're keeping writing; you can pick the series back up whenever you feel ready to, but it's good to keep practising on other work as well. :)

:D
