My apologies to everyone for my silence, my computer crashed almost a year ago and all my poetry, erotica, short stories, and perhaps most important to me, 5 completed chapters of my autobiography got lost. The timing was infamous, during disk clean up and creation of back up files...Since it crashed and the entire operating system got corrupted, thank the gods it was able to boot up again. A dear friend of mine who is a computer engineer and programmer has been trying to restore all that I lost. Though the stories that I write both fiction and non fiction never entirely disappear for memory, creativity and experience never perish in the writers mind and spirit. This last year has been quite difficult, I've been truly fortunate to have found some of my journals which I keep safe like treasure which has many of my poems, some of my erotica, aspirations of short stories that I have not yet brought to life beyond the couple of paragraph dreams and my most important project, I recovered my second revision of my autobiography which is significantly shorter, scattered and cluttered then what I had achieved. Going from 57 pages and 5 chapters to almost 2 chapters of what remains of almost 3 years of rigorous work is neither easy to accept or easy to rebuild. I will post some of my poetry, erotica, and short stories when I'm able but I'm still looking for all that my computer swallowed up in the void of it's own demise in my cluttered hotel room and whirlwind of partially filled spiral notebooks.

Hugs,

Sincerely,
Ariel Archaicflame
