Recent circumstances which include the elimination of our internet upstairs, thus leaving me with only my mother's laptop on which to post this announcement, have required me to fall from the world of cyberspace almost entirely. I am barely keeping up the Hideaway at the moment, using the account of my characters only to view PMs from a good friend, and so I must withdraw my membership from all the online clubs and such I have joined. This includes the Inklings. I wish you all well and pray that God, not the world, guides your pen.To leave with a good taste in my mouth, I ask that you refrain from speaking about me in an unkind manner. I have accidentally seen some comments made about my past decisions regarding the leadership role I played with this club and some things said against my character that are not true, ones that I do not agree with. If you have nothing encouraging to say about your old commander, I ask that you please say nothing at all. I'm sure you can find better things to talk about. Whatever happened to the days when the Inks actually talked about their writing?
To those who called me a true friend, I bid you a fond farewell. My correspondence with the world at large has become sharply curbed, according to my personal wishes, and I dearly hope you hold nothing against me for my long, elusive silence. I must keep the reasons for my actions as classified, but please forgive me that which I could do nothing to prevent. I am much happier with my new situations, and writing has been going deeply for me over the past couple months. I am in fact finishing my fourth novel this weekend, if God puts His hand against mine and writes the words as He has done over the course of the proceeding writings.
If you find yourself pining away for me, which I highly doubt you will be as you now have become used to my evasion, I welcome comments on the rather sad blogpost I currently have up at the Hideaway. That was written during a trialing time, and I hope to update soon in a more positive tone. I obviously won't be updating my dear blog that often, but I hope to make every word count when I do.
On a final note, to my apparent enemies (forgive the strong language, but by the sound of your comments, that seems to be what you have become), I don't care what you think of me now, or what you thought of me when I was trying my best to keep the Inks together so many months ago, perhaps trying a bit too hard. I ask only that you keep whatever scathing information you have created about me to yourselves.
Make of this what you will. Goodbye!
--R.K. (Pip)
