Good evening crew!

It’s become apparent to me that I have not been a good CO to you all. And I had to come to the point of making a decision as to whether I should remain or leave.

Life has been rough for me this past year. Big job change along with multiple large car issues and tons of sickness/health issues has left me seriously behind. And it isn’t just STF that has been effected. My own writing for myself has taken a major hit along with a lot of other commitments I wish I could have kept. I’ve been doing everything that I can to keep my family afloat during these rather rough economic times. And truth be told, my creativity has taken a hit due to all of the work and stress.

But, that’s not an excuse.

I’ve been dragging you all along without the proper leadership needed here.

Which brings me to the point I made in the first paragraph. Should I stay or should I go?

I don’t want to go. I have enjoyed the Athena and this crew in particular. I’ve enjoyed all of the stories that have come from here! You all push me to do better in my storytelling, and I honestly enjoy that. But is it right for me to stay and continue as is? No.

That being said, if I’m going to stay, I need to make a recommitment to you all. The schedule I had developed for myself worked for a time, but it just isn’t feasible. I’ve made some adjustments which will be implemented starting next week.

I may encounter some hiccups on the way, but my goal is to keep within AWOL limits and stay in good communication with you all if things go sideways. No more wondering or guessing or hearing the same thing over and over.

So, if you all can forgive me for the past, I would like to continue as your CO, rededicating myself to the writing and fun.

PS: Sam and I have been talking and she’ll also share a bit here as well.

Speaking for myself, you know that I am with you. Reach out to me anytime.

Honestly, RL is never cooperative. Especially when you’re trying to live and exist, forced to give up one or the other. Personally, I’m all about giving second or third chances with a hobby. So, I’m willing to let you try and see where this will lead.
