Thanks to a certain artist, I've been inspired to write again. While I won't be posting anything soon, I'm working diligently to develop Ryu as a character. Over the years, I've just been doing RP on furc as a scene by scene basis and really nothing has given rise from any of them. No offense to my RP partners, but they just weren't around often enough or became disinterested in what we had going. I want much more for my projected self, much more for what he has and what he can offer others.

On a side note, I've been watching old kung fu movies lately so I'll try not to incorporate the cheesy plot lines or dynamite fight scenes into my writing. I've also noticed that I tend to rush stories just so I can get to the next scene in my mind, which I believe is a sign of impatience and personal immaturity. As I work on my character, I also need to work on myself. Life is slipping by me day by day. I can't and won't allow this nonsense to continue any further.

Should anyone actually follow my journals, feel free to comment and offer words of support and encouragement. I don't want to even bother wasting time with snide comments of how everyone has their own problems and I should just stay a lazy slob. I'm a man and it's high time I act like one.
