I'm not going to lie when I say my motivation has shifted in another direction, far from the odd sort of game around these parts. Not to say all is bad or that all is not well, but there are certain things that I have an overwhelming and overriding interest in that take precedence over intellectually (or unintellectually, if you'd rather) contributing to this community.
So I've reverted, much to the surprise of no one, to my lurker mindset. I get what I need to off these forums, and still hold correspondence with a great many people from here, just not on a consistent basis. Some of that is just a result of timing. Some of it is my preoccupations.
I've gone back to writing, getting back in communication with people I'd put aside to come here in the first place. Leave it to be to be condescending, but the discourse on writing I am carrying with others is much more rewarding, perhaps even relieving.
I do not include those I still speak with, or have spoken with, but there is nowhere that that is a majority. AnnieHall's return isn't going to spur me into posting more readily, and Crystallight's goodwill isn't making me feel as though I must hope on in and start adding to the conversation.
Which, since this topic is out there, I'm willing to say that there is far less intellectually engaging material on what are supposed to be thought provoking boards. Perhaps it is a new slew of users who have entrenched themselves. I don't know.
Hey, who knows? I still have a writing project that needs to be proofread that will involve Purrbast; that hasn't necessarily changed. She's waiting on the proofread, but I'll be honest and say that the desire has not been that strong when I've got near weekly deadlines I'm trying to hit. I still have a MTJ contract to sign and send out. After this writing competition is finished (or I am eliminated), I can get back on the fetish writing horse.
