There aren't many people on this site that I recognize anymore, and if you do, we've probably already reconnected.
On that note, I wanted to extend an invitation for those that don't know me but might like to. If you enjoy my writing, read my games even if you're not my partner for it, and just want to establish a connection, reach out. You'll find I'm a sociable person and willing to make a new acquaintance or two. When BMR chat was around and I was on regularly, you could usually find me there.
A little background.
I've been around here since 2011, although I drifted to a different site for a spell before throwing it the middle finger. If I have any stalkers, you probably already know that, and you probably also know that I haven't been active onsite for 7 consecutive years based on my stats.
Don't let that fool you. I never stopped writing. I just didn't role-play every day. Yeah, I had periods of writer's block, same as you, but I was always putting ink to paper.
With that, I'm curious, what goes through many of your minds when you write?
For me, the creative writing sector of my mind is like a long hall that seems to stretch on forever. It's dimly lit. The floor is concrete with shadows swirling over it. Each door is painted black. These are where I house my characters, and when one wants to come out to play, that character makes it known. Drifting around this hall are whispers, kind of like voices in my head. They tell me what to write and how to write it.
I've explained it before as some of my distinctly "bad" characters are in cages. No one ever really gets this. My mind is their prison, and they roam free and run fast when others here want them to come out to play.
Usually, when I'm writing, my muse is music. I listen to a wide variety and adjust it depending on what I'm writing. Is it something with a lighter or darker theme?
Right now, a lot of what I'm writing is a bit dark, or it focuses on a different period in time than the one we live in. Currently, my theme is Danheim, the deep, eerie beating of drums, the bellowing of horns, and throaty reverberation of intermixed chanting.
