Just the Way it Goes

So, I never expected to be writing something like this, and certainly not so soon after I'd started on this site. No, I'm not leaving. I could never leave this site for good. But I've been realizing lately that I'm spending too much time on this site, and not enough time doing other things. I'm not talking about schoolwork here, because I don't really care about that stuff, not like other people do.

I love all of you guys, I really do, but I'm just not going to be around as much. I apologize to everyone I have threads with, because it's probably going to take me longer to answer than normal. Right now, THGRPG is taking up too much of my time. I'm on here way too much, and I don't have time to do all the things I used to. I blow off my friends because I'd rather be here, posting, and that's not right. This site has been a great place for me to get better at writing, and I'm very grateful for that. But it's time for me to stop spending four to six hours on this site when I could be working on the books I'm trying to write. Reading is another big thing. A few years ago, I read like crazy. Four books a week. Now I'm lucky if I finish one every other week. Reading is very important to me, and it bugs me that I don't read nearly as much as I used to.

This has been kind of long and rambly, and for that, I apologize. I'm not leaving the site, I'm just limiting the amount of time I'm on here. I have to make time in my life for things that are more important to me, things I've come very close to losing. So, instead of being here nearly every night, I'm only going to be on two times during the week, and maybe a few hours on the weekend. I'm not really sure if I can do this, because THGRPG is kind of an addiction...I'm sure there's plenty of you out there that know what I'm talking about. If this site was like cigarettes, I'd be smoking a pack a day. Okay, that wasn't a good metaphor, or simile, or whatever it is. But the point is, I'm addicted. And while I know it isn't possible to quit (and I know I wouldn't want to), I also know that I have to slow down.

I'll see you guys around. <3 ya!
