I have some work/life balance again, and my oldest is in college. So, here I am.
I suspect virtually all players have moved on from CCH (I wouldn’t blame them at all) and the new AI age has me worried about how people will value creative works made entirely by human brains/fingers/mouths, but leaving this series unfinished has gnawed at me for the last two years. I have let people down, people who supported me in so many ways from 2013 to 2023. And so yes, I feel guilty for letting them down. But I also feel defeated for letting myself down. I have worked in a variety of fields in my life, and I’ve had some very meaningful moments, but for whatever reason, I’m most proud of writing CCH as compared to other professional endeavors.
For years, I overextended myself, I think because I adore the creative CoG/HG ecosystem and the wonderful people who make it what it is. I think interacting with younger folks also made me younger, more creatively energetic. But this all meant that I spent way too much time on the forums, social media, and side projects instead of focusing on the main goal.
If I get permission from the mods, I would prefer to create a new thread for Part 3, free of outdated links and discussions, but we’ll see if that is allowed.
My goal is to have a fresh demo posted by Halloween. I need to reacquaint myself with ChoiceScript and figure out the new hosting site. My time on the forums will be limited (by choice) and I’m pretty much off social media these days, and happier for it.
My email remains fictionbyericmoser@gmail.com. I’ll rely on that and forum email/messaging moving forward.
See anyone reading this in a couple of months! Happy (very early)
