I'm not hiding behind a pen name anymore. I've started a new account, RichardMorganWrites, (https://www.wattpad.com/user/RichardMorganWrites)  and I'm going to be writing more in the dreamcore, weirdcore, absurdist spectrum. Horror has been fun, but I need a break. And I need to own what I write instead of trying to be anonymous.

@somenightsi You're a sight for sore eyes. 
            
            Ive been writing, just nothing as enthralling as fiction. 
            
            I've been doing freelance work on Upwork and trying to become the copywriter I wanted to be 14 years ago. 
            
            So far I've ghostwritten a ton o' crud. Blog posts for the IT sector which... I know NOTHING about... I have to research everything... I've written an ungodly amount of social media marketing posts for podcasts and cyber security firms and motivational coaches... But those were all ghostwriting contracts so you'd never know it was me. The really nice turn of events has been a horror podcast licensing some of my stories for their use, and they want more. They're really eyeing my Little Sister series but don't want it until its finished. I'm stuck on ghostwriting an eBook on chess for kids and its showing me that I'm capable of... Well... writing an eBook...and I'm getting notions of writing my own ebooks and monetizing them. Somehow. I have no idea how I'd monetize Wattpad. The treasures of any good fiction seem to be buried beneath  leagues of icy cold waves of Justin Bieber vampire fanfic. I might have to focus elsewhere... Like Smashwords... And use wattpad strictly for fun. Idk. My writing status is a liquid situation right now. It makes me smile when folks on here keep track of each other ☺

So I've found that writing is much like an old teddy bear.
          
          You accidentally leave it by the wayside.  You realize it many miles later, but you rationalize it away.  Ah, I'm too busy for it.  Even if I go back for it, I'll never get around to doing anything with it.  
          
          Ten thousand excuses later and just as many life events later, you find it.  You dust it off.  It's one sorry looking teddy, but it's yours and you've missed it.
          
          That's where I am.  Coming back to my writing, even though I've sworn that I'm too busy and I don't need it like I used to.  I've gotten married, I've had rollercoaster job switches.  And at the end of it all, I decide to start jotting down story ideas again and they start germinating before my eyes.
          
          Setting down a piece of yourself will always be a subtraction and you will always find a way back to it when your senses tell you that you're just not quite whole.
          
          So...
          
          Besides exploring things I've already written,
          
          I've started on an ambition I've had for at least seven years:  A Fanfiction of QUAKE.  No.  Justin Bieber is not playing the character role of Ranger.
          
          I've been binging on creepypastas, so that's another pile of notes that's accumulating.
          
          And the rest... who knows.  It just feels good to write.
