I probably should write these more, shouldn't I?
First of all, a big hearty thank you to LitRecognition for featuring Old Friends in their Daily Lit Recognition article for April 22nd! You can find the article here: please take a look at the other lovely pieces featured, and +watch the group for more lit features. If you know of any great lit pieces or writers, they are open to suggestions for features--information on suggestions can be found on their group's main page.
Secondly, I apologize for not being too active--the last few weeks have been full of finals and projects. I am in the process of replying to everyone who's commented, and really appreciate the feedback. I've written a number of pieces, but many of them still need some polishing before I upload them, and others are in the process of being submitted to magazines and unfortunately cannot be uploaded at the moment.
Other than that, there isn't much to report, aside from some personal life changes.

- With the help of a friend, I've made the decision to retire from gaming (specifically, MMOing) in order to focus more upon developing my writing and graphic art skills (the latter of which I've returned to after several years of hardly drawing anything). My everything-not-writing account is Falunel, but it's very casual, rather messy, and rather barren, and I'll likely be only doing awful sketches for the time being. (I also talk about tulpamancy and other weird psychological stuff I'm interested in there, so if that subject makes you uneasy, you may want to avoid it.)
- University lets out in less than a week, so that's even more time to work on polishing my work, barring a full-time job at a research lab my family's pushing me to take. They still haven't given up on the idea of me becoming a doctor.
Will post later if more things come to mind. I'll have to look up some articles and poke around the lit community more and find some less-known writers to feature.
Five Flash Fictions
Got what is very possibly an abscessed wisdom tooth. Joy.
Also, going to be taking my own advice tomorrow and forcing myself to write a paragraph of something, and then keep going with it every day. Wonder if I should open a tumblr or Dreamwidth for it. tumblr's community has been seriously trying my patience as of late (apparently now it's ableist to use the word "crippling" to describe major debt or depression, according to the SJWs), but I do like tumblr's customization options more. Maybe I'll just find a way to rig a Sta.sh folder for it.
That's all assuming what I write isn't so horrendously embarrassing that I can't share it, though.
Hell Month is over.
Aka the last month of this semester, finals included. Just a small update to get that last entry off my page.
Made a B+ in a math class after two years of Cs. Thank counseling, friends (in-system and out), and learning to not worry about making As, and focusing on passing and actually doing my best instead.
Physical health is still in the gutters, emotional health has been on the upswing. Got back into painting and drawing (to be uploaded to my other account later), which has been doing wonders for my mood, which hopefully means writing will soon follow.
Currently busy packing for moveout. There's so much to clean! Systemmates would like t

Exposition - The Winding Way
I debated myself on whether this was something worth posting to dA, and eventually decided that I would just post it as a journal rather than a deviation. Here is an essay of sorts written very recently for English 311 (aka Exposition), as part of an assignment on meaning via description--some of you may note parallels between this piece and the most recent Cycles of Calm entry, for which this essay was a good warm-up.

-The Winding Way-
Fairyland is real. I know this because, as a child, I made regular trips into that country during the summer. My family lived on the border between here and there, in a neighborhood of the sort favored b
