    Course I noticed. Don't say such silly stuff. =)

    And I spit on work. (Though money is always neat to have.)

    Don't forget to breathe!

    Breathing is overrated. So is sleep, apparently. And a social life ... and friends :(

    Yeah. Work is a fucker like that. Wreaked havoc on everything last year for me. Barely got to see anyone at all. >_<

    Sleep IS overrated—right up until the moment you start seeing shadow bugs skittering across your vision. Then it's time to crash for a day (or two).

    Hang in there, though! Chin up and all that. (I've always wondered: doesn't raising your chin only make it easier for life to get in a fierce jab?)

    And how goes your writing? I know you were working on a story that dealt with the perception—or mispercption—of time. Get any progress with that one?

    Gave up on writing, I'm really bad at it - everyone agreed.

    Who is everyone? And why the fuck should they matter?

    I figured writing was something you really enjoyed.

    Used to enjoy. Unfortunately, I need motivation to write (or do anything), and that motivation is gained when people enjoy what I do. People hate what I do and tell me I'm terrible at it ... so I have no motivation and then don't do it.

    Rubbish. Plain and simple.

    I seriously doubt your writing is as bad as any of them make it out to be; also, fuck those people.

    It also helps to get a different perspective. Try posting in the forums, see if you get a different take on your work(s).

    Write first for yourself, above anyone else. Otherwise, you're in for a world of hurt. That said, there is a difference between enjoying writing and being good at it, but I believe you fit in both category. So there.

    I've tried many forums. Many, many forums ... and writing sites, and various other things. As I said previously, for me to enjoy writing, others must enjoy what I write. Since my writing is crap, they don't enjoy it, and since they don't enjoy it I don't enjoy writing. I can accept being crap, the truth only hurts if you let it. People have been telling me I'm bad all my life, so it must be true.

    I've seen your writing. It is literally better than 70% of the stuff I've found online.

    Show me who these assholes are. I will wipe them out.

    I haven't actually seen any of Strife's writing beyond his work on Vector Squared. But from the time he spoke about writing in the writing assistance thread, and from his general command of the English language in his posts around the forum, I took it as a foregone conclusion that he'd be similarly skilled in writing a story.

    I could always link you to some of my trash, so you can see for yourself how bad it is ...

    You know, Strife... If your work turns out to be good (yes, I know, good is a very subjective descriptor; so sue me) then I'll be kind of pissed at all your self-hate, so far as your writing is concerned. :D
