Talking Hello Darlings!
Hi everyone! Some of you may remember me, but for those who don't, I'm the guy who originally started Lit.Org and WritingForums.com. I sold the sites a few years ago when my wife was sick, but I miss them every day and all the friends I made here.

The last few years I've been working hard. I started a blog network and then my own consulting company. I've recently gone back to work for one of my old bosses who is mentoring me in how to take my business to the next level. At the same time, that's giving me a more regular schedule so I'm itching to get back into writing, which is my first passion! I blog pretty often on various sites, but fiction is where my heart is so hopefully you'll be seeing some of my rough drafts here soon. I'd like to get some feedback/critiques before I start trying to get published. I need the practice.

I'm glad to see many of the same faces still around here and that the community is still very much alive. I have no doubt that's due to the leadership of the moderators.

Maybe one day when I make enough money I can buy these sites back. There's so much I'd still like to do for this community.

As for other new projects, I've got a couple of blogs I write for and I hope to launch a community site for book lovers in the next few weeks.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to getting to know all the new folks and getting back in touch with all the OG writers still hanging around.

-Chrispian

That's weird. I was just reading an old post and I saw your name in it. You were talking about voting in the next moderator (I now realise the post must have been a couple of years old) and I wondered who you were. Well done for creating this brilliant site. As Foxee said, there are many people addicted to it, myself among them.

Welcome back. I hope your wife has fully recovered.

Sam.

I haven't had much time to lurk around here - but I certainly understand the desire to get back to writing. It's good to see you here.

At least there's one Creator. (I assume that's the formal WF greeting; turning everything into a debate about religion).

Welcome back.
