Photos by Satis

Why, hello everybody!

I’ve been very much enjoying sharing photos from my life with you over the past several months, and by the Likes, it seems you’re enjoying them as well.

These photos were really starting to add up, and it led me to thinking that it would be nice to have somewhere special just for showcasing these little photographic zirconia. I’ve been using Flickr for a little while, but I can’t say I love it much after its uploader shafted the dates of twenty of my favorite pictures. Then I thought, wait a minute – there’s already a publication platform I’m familiar with, that has the ability to showcase lovely galleries of photos, and that won’t take all you lovely people too far away.

And so, without further ado, allow me to introduce to you the all-new, mind-blowing blog:

Screen Shot 2013-03-09 at 11.33.44 PMI will continue to post my Daily Photos here on Satis, but I will begin to build fuller and more complete collections of photos here, where you’ll be able to easily browse through dozens of photos in related themes. I must say that I’m already very much enjoying it (thank you very much to brajeshwar for his elegant theme Nishita), and I hope you’ll find the same enjoyment out of my photos as well.

You can view this week’s gallery, Gravestones, here:

With a Fond Farewell for the Year

…and this concludes our broadcast for the year.

7,289 views. 241 posts. 732 thoughts left with me about what I write.

This has been…an eventful year, to say the least. There’ve been some wonderful ups, and some rather extreme downs. I fizzled out towards the end of the year (as so many of us do), and I’m looking forward to a few weeks’ rest before diving into the new year.

After all, there’s some work to be done. I need to finish editing The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation and submit it for publication. I need to begin the sequel, The Redemption of Erâth: Exile. I want to get back up to speed with this blog, bringing back Tales of Despair, and perhaps introducing some new themes.

And I have books to read. Places to go. Doctors to see about fixing my brain (I’m at the maximum dose of a medication known to cause seizures – yikes).

And perhaps, more than anything, I have people to connect to. I have all of you. Every one of you who’s stopped by, clicked ‘Like’, left a thought…you’ve made this possible, kept me going throughout all of this. Just having that little thought that somewhere out there are just a few people who are helping me feel like I have something worth saying.

So with all my heart, I thank every one of you, and look forward to seeing you in the new year.

P.S. Daily Photos will continue to auto-post; I will return to writing in January.

New Facebook Page

In the spirit of pretending to be a real author, I’ve gone ahead and made myself a Facebook Author page. This will host anything and everything related to me as a writer, including updates and information about progress on both The Redemption of Erâth and A Gothic Symphony.

It would make me immensely happy if you gave it a quick visit – it will help me pretend that people are interested in my writing!
