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
