	~~Okay, I'm taking a break from writing because~~..~~. I'm not sure what the heck I'm writing that has ANY quality at all~~.		Hmm...

	~~Anyway~~, I ~~just have personal issues~~ that will ~~have~~ to ~~come first~~.		Regarding my long pause in writing, I'm simply not writing anymore. Although I keep my old part-stories somewhere else, I haven't felt the inclination to complete them - none the least, because of time constraints, and the fact that I feel that they are inferior in general.

			The stories still here, though, I retain as a sort of "old shame", and maybe a reminder of what I've accomplished. Someday I hope to write again, and better, and in that case I'll put them in a new category. Till then, this will remain here on stasis. At least until whatever the Shifti sysops wish to do with this page.

			Feedback is still welcome though. The email address is still valid, and will continue to be.

			TTFN.

	~~Okay~~, ~~how does this thing~~ work?		I'm an amateur author and a furry, and I have been writing for a short period of time already, although I have not produced anything that is of significant quality. I hope that, over time, I will get better and thus, I am looking for feedback on my work so that I can improve on it in future works.

	~~Hi, I~~'~~m yet another amateur author. I write a few stories in my spare time~~, ~~but I always seem to lack the ability to think up good ideas~~ at ~~a decent rate~~. ~~Also,~~ I'm a ~~student, so I'm quite busy~~ with ~~work. So there probably won't be many stories here~~, ~~but just give me an occasional poke to remind me if it's been too long at "my name minus the~~ apostrophe~~" at gmail dot com~~.		My email is my name (drak'rrth) without the apostrophe, at gmail.com and I also keep a LiveJournal account with the same - that is, no apostrophe.

	I~~'m fastidious about grammar and spelling, so I'll try to clean up before I post.~~		One thing is that I keep rewriting my stories-in-progress, but never after that. And I don't publish in-progress works.

	~~I'm more into dragons and reptiles~~, but ~~quite like dolphins as well~~. ~~But~~ I'~~m open to ideas. I'm also part of the furry community from a computer~~-~~bound point, since anything else is too impractical for now. What's the difference between them and here, anyway?~~

	The stories are labeled for easy finding. The names in the stories were generated by the rinkworks.com generator, so they'll sound funny. Can't do anything about it, unless I tried thinking up names myself.

	~~I notice my~~ works ~~seem to become longer as I go on. Whether this means they're better... only time (and views) will tell.~~

	~~Now, since I doubt anyone will ever read this, here we go..~~.

	[[Journal of Subject 10231001]] Here, I break almost every single rule I've laid down upon myself. I've always tried to follow the tips in "Writer's School", but I feel that my stories don't seem to follow it - they have a shallow plot, they don't really develop the characters that much, etc. - or they follow it a bit too closely: I've never actually shown a TF before. Thus, I decided to break them totally, create a story completely based on a TF, with no plot, and... it's not too bad actually. This I may actually change, since it's a journal of the subject, so I can keep adding new entries.		[[Journal of Subject 10231001]] Here, I break almost every single rule I've laid down upon myself.
