I started working on my novel at a furious pace. Words flowed from my fingers into the computer. I hadn’t written this much on one of my own projects in ages, but I felt inspired. Maybe it was showing my book to someone. Maybe it was the inspiration I’d taken from his encouragement. Whatever it was, I was writing like a maniac and I was putting out thousands of words a day which was unprecedented even before I got sucked into Tales of Elassa and spent all of my writing energy on the game. Conlan was driving me crazy in other ways too. Mainly by his absence. I’d only talked to him a couple of times and so it was totally weird that I’d miss him like this, and yet with each passing day that I didn’t see him on I grew more frustrated. His profile said he hadn’t been on since the last time we spoke a couple of days ago. It was driving me nuts. I was busy writing, but I also kept myself logged into the game on the off chance that he’d show up.
