Perhaps I am more of a serious writer than before. Currently, I don't know what I should call myself right now, so I'll answer to "hey you" and all that jazz. Eventually, I'll be subscribed again and accept the review I got from a good friend on here, which was sent over a year ago. Or maybe I did accept it before I left and couldn't remember. Being vague is one of my characteristics, was. Perhaps I left this place soured or maybe due to the stress of work, I couldn't handle what my dreams were.
I was VerboseLobster, RoaringJen, and some other name I don't remember. I'm re-introducing myself because I'm really grateful that I still have access to my online class files. Litreactor beats any MFA program any day. No offense to my MFA program I had to quit years ago.
When my house was broken into, a day shy of two months ago, my work laptop and my writing laptop got stolen. I moved in with my sister's family, got closer to my parents and my sister's family. Before that, I was busy working at the shop I love, all by myself from open to close. Before that, I had to let go of employees that were amazing, due to the economy. Before that, I fell madly in love and am still in love, and from there I've been writing as if my life dependent on it.
How do we define a success of a writer? Acceptance of the profession. Before Litreactor, before my MFA program, I self-published a small book, which I gave away to friends and others as a token of appreciation.
What have I given to Litreactor? That's why I'm here again. To give back, despite past postings and misunderstandings. This first post back wasn't easy, but it was a natural thing to do.
Honorable and upright, a rather boring character, that is me. I've grown up overnight and am working on a couple of projects.
Hi, everyone.
