Author has written 24 stories for Life, Romance, Nature, Love, and Essay. ! * ~ * ON HIATUS * ~ * ! It's probably kind of obvious, but I'm currently on indefinite hiatus from FictionPress. I apologize to all the readers I'm leaving hanging with my half-finished stories - especially Celestia of the Thorns, which I knew was a big mistake to begin in the first place (damn you NaNoWriMo!). There are more than one reason for my absence, however the biggest would be that I'm too busy now to focus on my writing. I do get inspiration here and there, but I can't find the time to sit down and put down the words. (Even this note was written in three parts as I was called away once by my niece-daughter and had to stop dinner from burning the second time.) I've also been promoted to manager at work, which means I'm putting in more hours and weekends...what weekends? On the bright side, at the rate I'm going I will burn out by next year and can sit at home and write while I demolish my trust fund. Booyah. But really - I appreciate all the support everybody has provided from Day 1 of my time here. Hopefully I can get back to writing soon. Lots of love, ! * ~ * November 03, 2011 * ~ * ! About Me: "An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations." ~ Charles de Montesquieu Name: Rebekah Stories: "The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it." ~ Benjamin Disraeli Celestia of the Thorns (ON HIATUS; My NaNoWriMo 2009 Project.) Essays: "The point of the essay is to change things." ~ Edward Tufte Plagiarizers: Please chop off your fingers (I rant. A lot. This is just an example.) Poems: "The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood." ~ Jean Cocteau (Poetry is not my 'thing' - because I suck - and I only write if I'm suddenly hit with an idea that won't leave me...) Stupid, Not Blind Future Projects: "How does a project get to be a year behind schedule? One day at a time." ~ Fred Brooks All of my previous future projects and half-written pieces have disappeared with my laptop crashing. ~sigh~ However, I'm constantly looking for challenges and am writing tidbits that never see the light of day (i.e. FictionPress) because I'm not satisfied. "There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." ~ W. Somerset Maugham Keep in mind: Reviews make me grin like an idiot and update faster. If you read it, please review it! Thank you! ~ Rebekah ~ P.S. I realized that a bunch of people added my stories to their C2s...I'd like to publicly thank them for that show of support! Thanks guys - you made my day! | |||||||
