Six Years
On the urging of Artemismad Scientist Author Icon, I ventured into the depths of this website on a cool September early morning, six years ago today.

As with anything, lots of things have changed - and lots of things haven't.

A bit of history is in order, I think.

The first item I posted:

 Ghost Poem #1 Open in new Window. [ASR]
A short poem.
by Robert Waltz Author Icon


The first item of mine to receive an awardicon (from kittiara):

Ghost Poem #2 Open in new Window. [ASR]
A short poem.
by Robert Waltz Author Icon


The first story I posted:

 Hermit Open in new Window. [18+]
Ever wonder what the sage does when he's not being cryptic?
by Robert Waltz Author Icon


My first entry in "The Writer's CrampOpen in new Window. [13+], where I'm now one of the judges:

 Honeymoon Open in new Window. [13+]
The honeymoon's over, but...
by Robert Waltz Author Icon


My first Merit Badge, for helping Davy Kraken Author Icon out with a contest thing:

Merit Badge in Problem Solving
[Click For More Info]

I never even asked, but he devised a great Excel program for my ACRO*BATICS contest that generates letters for acronyms in a better way than anything I could have ever put together.  I am in awe of your technical wizardry, Robert.  Thank you.

And my first blog:

The Waltz of Life Open in new Window. [XGC]
Dances with weasels.
by Robert Waltz Author Icon


Which contains my reaction to becoming a Moderator in 2006:

"Ever have One of Those Days?Open in new Window.

(A note on that blog: At the time, journals were limited to 500 entries, and when you quit using them as a "blog," comments disappeared. When SM changed that policy, the comments reappeared. So some things in my last entry in that book probably don't make much sense, now.)

And, for my final exhibit on Memory Lane, my first newsletter (oddly, Action/Adventure - I later became a regular of Comedy and Fantasy, but not A/A):

"Action/Adventure Newsletter (January 3, 2007)Open in new Window.

As for the future...

Who knows? I might even get off my ass and write.

But first, another beer!
