Well, welcome back to steemit. And a good story about missing socks, wonder if you’ll go missing again or stay here finally :p

Hey @theironfelix! So very happy to hear from you! And thank you very much for reading my story!

I know I've been absent a while and its mostly due to three reasons:

1. I've published a new book, non-fiction this time around, under my real name. I'm planning to do a post about it hopefully tomorrow if time permits, so I can always link back to that post, same as I do for Bits of Dread.
   Though I've written it fairly quickly, the technical issues behind it were immense, and my will to write was lost while I was waiting for everything to fall in place and get it published. I just had to get it done before I could get back to writing again.
2. college/work. Exam period hit me hard this Jan/Feb because, unlike other years, I had to work all the while I studied for exams... so instead of being free to only study for 3-4 weeks, I had to work every day and was thus drained of both time and energy to write.
3. last but not least, having been gone so long, I started questioning my ability to write, writing a lot of first paragraphs, only to give up on them because I didn't see them as "good enough" because I was out of practice. Hopefully, I didn't disappoint with this one, because it's the first I've managed to finish because I genuinely liked it start to finish.

I am planning to write lots still (again), but I'll see how much time I get on my hands. I want to do one story a week, but I'm sadly not sure I can deliver. I will, however, try to. That much, I can promise.

Thank you again for stopping by.
It's great to see you're active still. <3

P.S.: While I was gone, I have created a couple of worlds I very much like, but they're more "long story" material than short, so... hopefully in the near future ^^... I'm very much looking forward to working on those ideas and bringing them to Steemit for all to enjoy :D

<3!!!!~

For one: ooooo~ like to see a post on that now.

For two: hey, I will be in college in a few months; so I shall know the pains. Fortunately not as crazed for tests and final exams, but an education based upon actually reinforcing over time and making people prove they know by orals and socratic seminars.

For three: well it could be also writing dissatisfaction that got coupled how you had to write a lot in this period of time. So can’t blame yah~

Well, at least have fun while doing it!~ <3

Got a lot of @curies by then and hope to see your work curie’d in the near future!

Well, in the World of Steemit and general Capitalism, break it into smaller parts and parcel ship it. Writer has gotta grow, no use publishing a full story in one go!~

[davidkain]

For one: I'll get to writing the post as soon as I finish replying to these comments :P

For two: What field are you planning to study?

For three: Well, yeah, just all in all a bad period for the creative mind.

Very happy to hear that! :D And thank you for the kind wishes! :D

Indeed. Maybe if I fail to post a full short I'll post just part I of one of such worlds :P

[theironfelix]

Yay!!!!~ :p

Since philosophy is basically integrated throughout undergraduate year: mathematics (might centralize on that, pick some specific classes) and Chinese.

Damno mango.

<<<<3333!!!!~

We’ll see!~

Aaaand it's live! Took me a little longer than expected, and probably has some errors, but I'm too tired to look at it any longer, so will reread it tomorrow and the day after, and edit out the stuff that... maybe shouldn't be there :P And edit in the stuff that should be there.
You can find the post here:

Nice!
I was also considering studying maths, but then decided for chemistry.
Happy to see you're taking this route ^^
Chinese, huh? Now that's an interesting combo together with math! I'd imagine a good one, though... you'll be so employable people will fight over you :P

[theironfelix]

Will check it soon! ~^^~

Happy Blocktrades vote, yah deserved it (check the names in the people that voted)!

Well that seems fun to do, maybe yah should consider using chemistry in your posts (from l'drugs to speculative and SFF [Science Fiction and Fantasy] to everyday use that could be enhanced with chemicals)~

Oh boy, if people weren't fighting for me on Steemit, Highschool and online gaming, I can't imagine what Cool Leg and post-College life will be with people fighting for me. :p

[davidkain]

I see you have :P Thanks, and will reply to that there^^

Thank you! :D A big fat one, at that! Feels good and motivational, it would appear I really do need to write more ;P
(Thanks for the explanation)

I have written a story that relied on chemistry that I very much liked (Titled Revolutionary product), so should I get an idea I can use, I'll very happily integrate some science into the writing :p Need some non-fiction science also in fiction :P

Oh, so you're already the hotshot of the block, huh :P
I'd say try to make the most of the college time, and maybe don't "ruin" it with working while you study.
Working by itself isn't as bad, college by itself is pretty damn awesome, but when you combine the two you... let's just say I have this weird purple residue under my eyes that I can't seem to wash off :P
So during college, maybe let them fight over you, then once you're done, pick the best offer ;P
