A year of We're Alive...

There's a process to it. I had to submit a sample piece, and it helped that I had the support of a staff member at the time. She's gone now, which is too bad because she was a pretty awesome person, and I miss reading her posts.

Mh ... I had no supporter, because I was new to this forum; but I did not even receive any kind of reaction as well - like for example asking for a sample or going into much more detail about what I wanted to do.
I just sent him a message, and it was like speaking to a wall - and that in the vacuum of space. No response. No reaction. Nothing.At.All.
But I don't care so much about it. I learned that the forum offers plenty of opportunity as well, which made me lose focus regarding my blog-idea(s) ... A few weeks ago I had a new idea, and in all honesty: I did not even consider to ask Nik/ Kc/ whomever here to establish an area for it, but I simply thought of using blogger.com (or other similar platforms) for this task; again: nothing happened. Therefore I guess the issue is in me having ideas while lacking the skills to put effort in them ...

I smell.

There was also a time when nik was very much homeless. So a lot of focus was not placed on the boards, and instead shifted to no longer being homeless. I was a member for some time before I even considered blogging. Being new may have been a factor, but it sounds more likely that the message/s were never received due to circumstance.

yeah, once my classes started back up, my time for blogging (which had increased significantly over the summer) disappeared. with the advent of dead space 3, however, i think it's time to blow the dust out of the old corner again.

I talked to Nick about i back when I was still a red shirt. At the time I didn't have any ideas for a theme etc but I'm now working on something.
I'm quite busy right now but over the next few months I intend to right up a few sample articles and submit my idea to nick.

Watch this space.
