Greetings.  As I'm sure you've noticed, I haven't been around here much.  Not that that's a problem because nothing's been happening around here.  I apologize for that, but there's not much I can say.  I don't have much of an excuse.  Real life has been keeping me busy, but that's not why I haven't been around.

I haven't been writing.  You could say I lost my muse, but that's not entirely accurate.  I still have ideas coming out my ears, but I haven't been able to put them on paper with much success, at least not in the form of prose.  I know how.  I try to write.  All I get is . . . junk.  I've been stuck for a while now, and it's not getting better.

So I'm taking a break.  No more prose for a while.  Stories?  Most definitely.  Writing?  Sure.  In script form.  My mind works better that way.  I can actually get ideas on paper.  It's still hard, but at least it's enjoyable.  

That's what I'm doing now.  If you're interested, drop me a line over at ~illuminara.  (It may look like I'm never around there, either, but I log in every day.)  I don't know a ton about screenwriting at this point, but I'm learning.  I hope to get some other people interested as well.  

For now, I'm taking an indefinite hiatus.  I started ~Crystal-Ink with a partner, and that was the fun of it.  Now that =Amriah no longer has a presence on deviantART, this club has rather lost its vibe.  If you're interested in taking it over, I'd be more than happy to talk with you.  Again, please drop me a note at ~illuminara.

Well, that's all I have to say.  Sorry to disappoint, but there are a lot of other great literature clubs on dA that are alive and active.  Be sure to check them out!  If you don't know were to start, take a look at our list of affiliates.

Best wishes,
Grace
