Just to prove I'm not dead

So, I haven't done anything here for a long time and I thought I would just give a little update saying what's been going on with me and why I've been pretty inactive lately.

First of all, I'm now in college, which obviously takes up a lot of time. In addition to that, I've been having to deal with trying to manage expenses and when I'm going to work on certain stuff, like schoolwork, art, and stories. Schoolwork is the priority since, you know, why pay to go to college if you're not serious about it? Second to that is my story. Depending on when you first found my page, you may have seen some of my rantings about a story I was writing about these three characters called Pimenta, Kalani, and Brin. Well, that book is almost done now. In fact, it's turned out to be so long (currently about 81,000 words at this point) that I ultimately decided to split The Epsilon Agency into two books. I'm going to be writing the sequel for NaNoWriMo this year, but before that can happen, I need to complete and publish the first book, so it's crunch time until November! XD

So yeah. That's basically what's been going on with me. I apologize if I promised an art trade or a gift art to you that I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I haven't forgotten. I just haven't had the time what with everything else. I promise that I will get to them by the end of winter break. And if I don't you can bug me about it all you want until I do.

Other than that, I just wanted to ask a completely random question. Do you ever look back at things that you wrote a few years ago (a story/comments/etc) and at least mentally facepalm?

Hi! I have had, like, no communication with you since the end of last year...(I don't go on this website often enough =() Anyway, I actually don't cringe too much at the old stuff I've written. I mean, yes, I do kind of mentally facepalm at the really bad grammatical errors/plot twists/stereotypical endings etc., but for some reason I always think that past me is a really, really terrible writer, so when my old writing turns out to be mediocre/somewhat decent, I'm pleasantly surprised.
