Hello, fair Reader Folk!
Some of you might not be aware of this, but I pretty much lived on this site back in high school, several years ago. I published story after story that I would abandon halfway through because I either lost interest or just finished the part that excited me- endings be damned.
This makes for a real shitty writer, no?
Well, I make no promises to change. I haven't actively written anything in years, so I have no idea whether my writing habits will have changed or improved. Hell, I don't even know if I can (or ever could) write anymore, but I do intend on finding this out.
It's Friday night here and I find myself restless, with the beginnings of a short story dancing at the edges of my imagination. It's really more of a pathetic little scene that won't leave me alone. Or it might be a memory resurfacing in a depressive fog. Whatever it is, I'm fairly certain it's manifesting in an attempt to drown out and ignore everything else around me, from the phone I've been ignoring, to the high pitched whining signal I keep hearing, to my name being hollered from the other side of the house. My point is that I'm bored and in desperate need of a distraction and find myself at my keyboard, writing this note, no recollection of how I got here, to this full stop. Or the last full stop of the abomination I just published.
I've forgotten the initial point of this post...
Hey, I'm Claudia, but you can call me Chuck or Chuckie or just Author (you'd be the only one to do so, tbh, but the sentiment is greatly appreciated and felt in the depths of my diminished self-esteem). I've been gone for a very long time. I gave up on several works of mine because of reasons ranging from laziness to lack of interest and motivation to what my mom used to call the "black clouds". I'm not declaring a grand comeback, that would imply having been popular or having had a following or having believed in myself and my works in the first place. I am declaring an attempt at a clean start.
Care to join me?
New short story up: Coffee and Cigarettes
Any feedback would be appreciated. Hell, feel free to leave hate.

RandomAuthor's notes at the start of each chapter can be so freaking annoying, so I'll just leave mine here. Essays and ramblings on what I've written and the inspiration behind it all.
