Five years. Has it really been that long? The last time I posted my son was 6 - now he's 11. My twin girls were only 4 years old.
          	
          	But now they are older and more self-sufficient. Maybe it's time I was, too. For a long time my mental health has been less-than-optimum. I felt that I had nothing of value to say. To a big degree I still feel that way. 
          	
          	But what I have started to come to realize is that I need to write not because I think people need to read my work, I need to write because I need the exercise. My brain is flabby and it's time to run a few laps, lift a couple weights, and maybe at some point I'll feel ready for my favorite mental marathon, NaNoWriMo, again.

Crazy! I just saw a Kotaku article about an anime series called "Empire of Corpses". It is very similar to my own story, Necropolitica.  
          
          Has anyone seen it? It looks great (the anime, not my story...) It seems superior to my story in pretty much every way - the title is better, and of course they actually stuck with the theme and finished it. I also like the idea of it being set a bit further in the future than mine is.
          
          Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. You can check out the article here:

          And if you want to dig into my story, which I guess is now a sort of retroactive fan fiction,  you can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/2526740-necropolitica

Hey  @ egoant I just downloaded your  wattpad app and I saw that someone asked about the games you make so i tried yologoat and I really like both of these things so I just wanted to let you know that you did a really good job on both of them.

I just finished reading Soul Pills. It is such an amazing, well thought story. I love paranormal, so when I saw your story, I just had to read it. I'm glad I did. I really hope you win the watty awards for it. It's so amazing, I wish I could write the way you do. You're works are brilliant!

@fluffyowl01 Thank you so much. I wish I had more time to write lately. I really want to do a Soul Pills prequel!

I downloaded your Wattplus app. It's really helpful! I read your bio (because I'm a stalker like that ;P) and was wonder what types of games you design? What program do you use if you use one? I really want to become a game designer (because I have really bad rage issues and tend to rant on everything and I just want to make games better so other people don't have to do that ((If you know what I mean))).
          
          I'll check out your stories sometime!

@EgoAnt  Nice! Are they free? I may have to look into them ^-^

@The_Shapeshifter I use a couple programs to make games. I used to use Flash, then I moved on to XNA, then Construct2 and now I mostly use Unity 3D. I still use Construct2 for anything I want to make quickly.
            
            Most of my games aren't that great. Fun little time wasters, mostly. =)

Thanks to everyone who has read and given feedback on Soul Pills! It has been a real learning experience and I will be going through and making a bunch of updates based on your feedback.
          
          I just had a look and it's currently at #13 in paranormal, which is pretty amazing.
          
          For now I think I will be putting The Filthy on hold and will be focusing on Necropolitica and planning a Soul Pills prequel.
