So, I'm Shain.

If you're a Facebook person... www.facebook.com/sevententacles

I'm 20 now! Can you believe it? I've been with fictionpress since '06. What was I then, 14? I've made other accounts, but I always come back to this.
It's probably nostalgia.
I intend on keeping it, too, but if you've followed my stories you know I tend to disappear for a year at a time or so.

In These Moments: Complete. I keep it up for the sake of always having a copy, but I'm embarassed of it and I don't intend to ever read it again. Ever.

Days Long Past: DELETED. Why? Because... well... it was a mistake.

Out of Focus: HIATUS I forgot about this one! So I haven't checked my email in forever, and when I do, there's several subscriptions to this. I read it over, and I'll continue it as soon as I have more time and my schedule is a little less hectic.

Our Winter: NEWish This is something I'm not sure I'll continue. I can hear you groaning already. "This asshole never finishes ANYTHING." Yeah, you're right. I said I'm not sure, though, so be on the lookout.

A Letter You'll Never Read: COMPLETE. Maybe. I might decide to make this a series of letter-type ramblings, but essentially it's real. Real feelings, directed at a real person whom I'd rather wouldn't read it, but had to express. Maybe you'll like it for the authenticity factor. (Not that most of my work isn't based on real life, it is, this is just coming from me and not a fictional character I live vicariously through)

Please do not ask me why I deleted something. I appreciate that you enjoyed it, but I could see no future for it, or it'd still be there.

I WILL try to be more active, guys. I'm sorry. Writing is a part of my life that I miss; I feel dead without it. Unfortunately, there's just not enough time to make it a ritual. Bear with me as I try to get my shit together.

Just a little note: I know I've changed my pen name what, four times now? I'm done with that. I am forever Mr. Tentacles.
