Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 6:56 PM
With the completion of None Shall See Heaven, I am done here. It's been, wow, a long time.
But it's lonely here, now. The DA forums are a huge joke and I can't bear to look at them, so I no longer have any exposure as a member of the site. Plus, DA's not really geared to poetry and prose, and I don't expect it to be. Without writing a novel on the subject here, I'm getting no feedback on my work(and haven't been getting any for a long time), and almost all of my old DA friends are long inactive. My account has turned into nothing more than hosting space for my lyrics. I'm taking up space.
Now, I'm not writing this to bitch. I know damn well I'm never gonna get droves of "internet people" reading my tripe and sounding off on it. But I used to have a small group of people who would regularly comment and help me improve, and in turn they would post poetry and lyrics (and other stuff, of course) I would look over and comment on. There was some sort of community connection there. But it's been over for months now, probably more than a year. I held on longer than I should have.
So I'm signing off. And I leave this for any of those old writer friends as a farewell, and an invitation to get in touch if they feel like it. I'd love to talk to you folks again. I'm leaving my email address up.
It's been fun,
-Ric

PS: I'm still writing, and when I get sick of writing only for myself, I might come back to this blasted place under a different username and start over.

    Muchas gracias for the advice. Yeah...am learning the only way I can live where I am is if I stick to my room when she's home. Financially it's a great deal, but otherwise? :puke:

    Noticed your music choices. You like Godsmack, too? :headbang:
