I feel like a bit of an explanation is due. First off, I know that I made a lot of mistakes during my time here. I’m aware that I didn’t keep the promise of quality I’ve made by creating Malia and working on her story. I’ve disappointed you so many times I don’t even want to go into detail – and then I ran away. If you know what I mean, this is an apology. If you don’t, then you’re not meant to.
A little insight: My failures have been a part of the process. Something I learned (but not the only thing) is to take inspiration from people, places and happenings around me rather than things I read or see someone else doing. It’s not ‘foreign’ inspiration anymore, it’s entirely my own. I make a point of being original in my writing now and I’m very careful about it.
So I come back with yet another character. However, I’ve given this decision a lot of thought. It’s a symbol – and I’ve also set up a few rules for myself to make sure that I get everything right this time. These rules are of no importance to you – I just wanted to mention them so you understand how serious I am.
I’ll try and behave like a decent human being from now on – no more, no less than that.
Also, I’m glad to be back.
