Hey guys...sorry I've been so inactive lately; truth is, its hard for me to visit here right now (I'd originally typed here as 'her', which is ironic in a really depressing way). I think if I'm honest, I'm on here more often than I was in the handful of months before the new year. I know it doesn't look like it though, and thats mostly because its...difficult, for me to talk to people right now. I'll be posting periodically, and I might leave a comment or two here and there, but please don't feel slighted or confused if I don't, or if I take a really long time to respond to things. Sorry

To answer what I hope is an inevitable 'whats up?', I'm going to simply say that I'm having trouble coping with things right now...apologies.

It feels like its been forever since I've been on DA, and...well, my inbox is certainly showing it; I've got 270 deviations to look through ^^; On the bright side though, I'm back-ish? I'll be off and on a lot over the next year or so. I've just gotten my acceptance letter to University, so I need to sit down and go through all the legal and financial junk, and I need to start prepping for my move...if I thought this place was cold, Thunder Bay is gonna be a kick to the teeth :P On a significantly sadder note, my best friend died a few weeks back; she was probably the only person I knew who showed as much passion, if not more, towards Ark of the Damned than I did, and even if she never did, I'm gonna miss her a lot more than I think I realize.
Speaking of Ark, I'm trying to find a new lead editor; odds are I can find a close friend (in terms of distance, or I'd ask one of the three people who will probably read this :P ) to edit for me, but its a pain in the ass. I have finished Ark of the Damned though, and it is so far formatted properly, but I won't know until the end of the editing process. Once that is done though, I'd like to start looking for a publisher, preferably one based in North America with dispersal throughout the continent, but I could honestly care less so long as I actually find one :P
I've already gotten a good chunk out of the sequel to Ark finished, and as soon as I get around to typing it up I'll post it (provided any of you feel like reading it?). New characters come into play while old ones die off, explosions and drama and what have you.
As for poetry and songs, I'm gearing back up into writing those too; I've actually posted a few that I'm kinda happy with in the past few days. Odds are I'll be posting more of those more frequently over the coming months, though they'll probably be short unless I manage to find a large block of free time.
So, thats my shit over with; how's everyone been?

So...uhmm, apparently I lied when I said I'd be more active. This is probably the first time I've been on since my last Journal update :S
I've been...pretty busy. I'd forgotten I'd been elected to our student council...so now I have that and I'm out pretty much all of the time now...or sleeping. I'm always tired now, and I don't why :(
So, quick updates on what I've been doing with my life

-Playing video games to relieve stress
-Dealing with all the drama that comes with being in Grade 12 >.<
-Dealing with my own personal bullshit :D but what else is new
-Organizing the details for my Dungeons and Dragons group (stop judging me! Its more fun than you'd probably realize :P )
-Legitamate school work...ish XD
-Sleep...lots and lots of sleep. Oh! And hitting things :D

I'm looking at that now and wondering why the hell I can't actually get on here...
ANYWAYS >.>
I haven't not been writing. Unfortunately, a lot of what I've written is bitter, bitter stuff, and thusly was trashed. That being said, I do have some poems I will be putting up, though I do not think they are very good...
As well, I have the prologue for the next book in the Ark of the Damned series. I've decided to post the first few chapters so I can nab the free CC copyright on the book itself. If anybody wants to have the rest of it, I'll send the chapters over as a note :S

WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, I HAVE MISSED YOU GUYS GREATLY AND I WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIVES!!! :P

Holy mackerel, has it been awhile since I actually managed to get on here and do something. Sorry for the extended abscence, but even though summer school is done, I've still been busy as hell.
Insofar as the social life goes, its ridiculous. Lots of drama and so on and so forth, but you get used to it and in the end its a growing experience, so whatever. All's well that ends well, right?
In terms of writing...well, I haven't actually gotten around to a whole lot that could be called 'coherent'. I'll be posting a few chapters of Ark of the Damned inside of the next few days, I hope to be starting something new that'll act like a prologue/revamp of Aftermath (The Hidden, The Deceived, The Doomed). I'll be calling it Surname Survivor (thanks Nightengale)and hopefully it'll be a little clearer than Aftermath was/is.
I've been playing a lot of Dungeons and Dragons recently too, and I've decided to start working on a serious campaign. So far, its looking like it's going to be reaching somewhere from 100-200 pages in length. Let me know if you'd like me to post it when I'm finished.
With the whole 'update' thing out of the way, how's everybody doing? :P
