Still Alive
Posted 2 years agoI have been so very absent for so very long. Mostly just quietly watching the new art coming out, but I still do enjoy writing from time to time.
I've gotten what is basically my dream job, with ideal position, moving cars for a living. It keeps me pretty busy, usually. Overall, doing pretty well for myself.
So. As far as writing goes. I have lots of story ideas, but I just need the time and ADHD hyperfixation to actually sit down and do it. Don't expect anything very soon, but it is on my mind.
And now, for your cake. Because I'm still alive.

Some Thoughts on Mental Health
Posted 8 years agoSo many people are willing to help someone in a crisis. You see it all the time, someone makes a cry for help, saying they feel depressed or they don't want to continue living. Loads of people go and help when they see that.
But once that passes, everything goes back to normal. How often does that actually do anything, though? So the person keeps on living for another few weeks. But if there's no change, then the circumstances which allow for those depressive thoughts remain, and eventually, you'll end up with the exact same crisis as you did in the first place.
But why aren't people more willing to help when it's not a crisis? If you can make time to help someone when they're on the verge of ending their own existence, can't those same people make the time to help the same person before they get to that point?
Living alone, it's very quiet here. I don't have anyone immediately around who I can just have a conversation with. There are some people who I know online, we talk on Telegram and such, but it feels like I have to extract conversation from them. Everyone is always so busy, and I can understand that. But you'd think, once in a while, someone might actually start talking to me, first?
I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way. And so, just how many other people feel like this? Ignored, forgotten, just simply feeling worthless to the world? If those who might feel so depressed that they don't want to continue living are made to feel valued, perhaps at least some of them would feel that life is worth living.

Writing Suggestions Welcome
Posted 9 years agoCurrently, I don't have comments enabled on my website. I'm thinking of opening registration though, so that people can post comments, but, that's going to take some work.
Either way, if you want to give me suggestions or recommendations on where you want to see some of the stories go, or what I should change, you can send a note to me here on FA, or use the contact form provided on my website.
The reason I write, is so that others can enjoy it. And to make my stories more enjoyable, I want to make them open for suggestions.

More Stories Written
Posted 9 years agoI've been working slowly on further developing stories and chapters and whatnot.
As it happens, during the time that I was locked out of my account here, I began writing adventures in Skyrim, based on the game. That, and my other stories can be found on my website, http://maktao.net/ under the Writings tab.
