Just a couple of things.

-I'm turning 25 on Monday and it seems like the kind of thing you should do something for. I was going to invite people to the pool until some things happened, but now I don't want to, so. I'm going to be at the Inkwell and will accept all birthday congratulations, gifts, and complaints about how grey water is super weird.

Anyone can come, it's not like I run the bar. Unless you're that guy that threatened me, you have to stay at least ten feet away from me at all times.

[Water being grey now is not actually why the pool party is being called off, but it makes an excellent excuse.]

-Does anyone have any advice about explaining your sudden changes in behavior to people who know you really well but don't know what's going on with Retrospec? I can't not talk to my parents.

I'll even sign it for you, since we know each other.

[wordcarvings]

I would like that.

One autographed copy, guaranteed! Count on it. I just have to finish the book first.

[wordcarvings]

Thank you! I wish you good luck and fortune with it.

[thesettingsun]

Thank you! Colors aside, I hope your art's going well.

It’s been a little disrupted lately, but otherwise it has.

[thesettingsun]

Good to know. The 'starving artist' thing isn't actually that fun.

[wordcarvings]

Yeah, I know. I sort of involuntarily tried that in university. But then I managed to get a part-time job, and a roommate around the same time period, and things worked out. The starving artist thing is not something I would recommend.

[thesettingsun]

I'm personally trying to avoid it. I'd like to have a stable income, a roof over my head, and enough to eat. And an internet connection.

[wordcarvings]

It’s a good thing to try to avoid.

[thesettingsun]

God willing, I will never be a starving anything.
