    Well take care then Speedy, hope that you have a good time up north and I do hope that you manage to finish your story as well. Take care of yourself and hope you decide to come back eventually.

    Best of luck! :)

    Well as of 20 mins or so(yup I'm actually going to bed early!), I'm gonna be real irregular for an unspecified period. The fact is I dunno. I'm off for a proper vacation(*sigh of relief* finally!) to the Doon Valley, and well if I manage to get a new connection pretty soon I should back in 3 days tops...if not, well probably one and a half month with about 10-20 minute 'sometime' appearances.


    So..see you guys!

    I am happy to hear the holidays.
    jealous of all but the skiing one. I see snow way to much.
    if you like adventures never marry someone who likes to sleep in his own bed.
    day trips are all you will get.
    have fun everyone.

    I won't be online for the next few days. I'm taking a five hour train journey to Lancaster for some Rugby. :)

    See you all on Monday!

    I will not be visiting this site for an unknown, and lengthy period of time.

    I can't say exactly how long - I honestly do not know. I just feel that I have irritated more than a few people on here; and as I'm a very sensitive person anyway, I feel it would be best for me to leave for a lengthy space of time. Also, if one of the admins could delete all my fiction posts I would be most grateful. As I have deleted or destroyed most of them anyway, I really want to erase all trace of some of those rather sorry attempts at fiction.

    Please do not delete or deface submitted writing in Review Room threads! The story is yours, but the thread is not. Other members put in real effort into their responses, and the reviewing process is intended to endure and remain transparent for others to learn from.

    I hope you will return soon.

    Just need to make myself get off the internet periodically.

    Coming and Going and such

    I've been looking for a thread or subforum where this might make some sense. Maybe it's here. If not, feel free to point me to where it might work better. I have been here just a bit to test the waters. I'm very impressed with the comprehensiveness and management of this site. That said, it involves more time than I have to really make the best use of it. None of that's anyone's problem but my own, of course, and I'll figure it all out eventually.

    But here's the thing. I don't know what to do about "pending" friendships. I don't find a way to communicate with these lovely folks in any way other than what looks to me like the rough equivalent of "Sure" or "Please go away." What I really want to say to them is that I'm happy for anyone who's addressing writerly objectives and would love to provide encouragement and/or support to anyyone who feels I might have something useful to offer. But I'm going to be spending more time elsewhere than here, and I don't want to get myself into a situation where I'm tempted to hit "Please go away" when what I really mean is I just don't have as much time as I'd like.

    Maybe that says it all. Or maybe there's something else I should do (since I don't know who actually reads what on this site). I see you have plenty of folks offering to mentor others along (which is not something I'm in a position to do), and if that's what someone is looking for, exploring that thread could be very useful.

    Anyway, I'll watch for suggestions if you have any to offer. Otherwise, I'll stop by when I can, but I plan to discipline myself (and my own writing) a little bit more in the upcoming days and weeks, and I don't want "pending friends" to think for a minute that means I don't find them chat-worthy somehow, especially so when it comes to matters of writing.

    People come and go, Molly. And when they are studying for finals, or focusing on a writing project, or dealing with life issues, they take off as much time as necessary.

    Sometimes people just aren't feeling chatty. No offense is taken (unless someone has abandonment issues :)).

    You do what you need to.

    well, school's finally out for the summer! unfortunately, that also means that i do not have a working computer with easy access. :( i'll try to get on the library's computer on the weekends, but here's to hoping that my family invests in a new computer *crosses fingers in hope* :D

    I have at least three dozen chores tomorrow and don't know if I'll be able to get on, so I'm telling you now that I'm having surgery on Monday that has an expected two weeks recovery which will segue into my graduation trip with my Mom. If I could get away with it, I'd smuggle my laptop onto the cruise ship with me...but my Mom's one vigilant senorita, so I doubt she'd let that happen.

    I'll miss you all bunches \(^.^)/

    The Doc must have grossly underestimated my pain threshold...it's not as bad as I was made to think, but I'm still in pain...

    Ohh, I'm terribly sorry you're in pain.

    I'm leaving today for Ohio, won't be on much, if any. I will be back sometime in July.

    I love this place. :)
