J.R. (Or, my new pseudo, William Penn)

So, yes, I almost completely forgot about everyone here. I\'ve now freed some time up, with school ending and all. I\'m still writing the same book I was before, but the plot has gotten more complicated and I\'ve had to deal with time traveling, which is an extremely hard subject to deal with. I originally projected 200k words, but now I\'m looking at possibly 225-250k. Really, I\'ve taken more of an absurdist and satirical take to my stories, with high suspense thrown in. This change was also dramatically influenced by the two writers GK introduced to me, Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut. That\'s about all for me! My local library is getting Old School now, so I\'ll be able to read that! But, the real question is, how is GK doing?

Very epic. Good to hear from you too, Jade. And J.R., of course. That old gang of mine. --GK--
