I'M ALIVE!
So... yeah...
I'd like to apologize about the EXTREMELY LONG hiatus but now, I'm baaaaaaack! And I'd like to answer some questions you probably have.
You: Where the heck were you?!
Me: I wrote a book!
Y: Like an actual book?
M: Yeah, with pages and everything!
Y: Well that's awesome! I want to support you, where can I buy it!
M: On Amazon! (The Dragon at the Magic Well) gp/product/B07MNJQJW9?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&pf_rd_r=9P50QGJ8YWHQY6FQHSRY
Y: Well that's great! But hey, I just went to the link and bought your book, as I'm sure everyone did, but it also says that your REAL NAME is Thomas, isn't the main character of your story Soaring Crane's name Thomas? Is he a SELF INSERT CHARACTER! I'M UNFOLLOWING YOU!
M: [DEEP SIGH] Yes, when I was fifteen and couldn't think up a name for my character I named him after myself, but he is definitely NOT a self insert character. but if you care that he has the same name as me then... whatever. If it counts, I have never gone by 'Tommy' in my life.
Y: OK, well, now that you're a BIG FANCY PUBLISHED AUTHOR you're going to go on and forget about your stories on this cite and go write your books to make you MONEY! SELLOUT!
M: Actually, no. I still fully intend to continue the stories that I started here. I may not be able to write them as often as I could before, but I still have a special place in my heart for these stories.
Y: Isn't that a bit unprofessional?
M: I don't think so. I feel like fanfiction is just as valid as any other form of literature and can be very important for many writers. Simply because it doesn't create revenue doesn't make it any less valued in my eyes.
Y: OK, so are you going to post more regularly?
M: Not even remotely. But I will as often as I can.
Y: OK, so are you going to change anything about your stories now that you are more skilled in writing?
M: To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I put a poll up on my page to see if you guys and gals want me to. It would really help me if you voted on it.
Anyway, I hope that answered some questions that you may have had (with a bit of shameless advertising mixed in), if you did have any more questions for me, feel free to comment them and I'll do my best to answer them. This post likely won't be around long though. And as always, thank you for reading.
