But I thought I'd drop by and give a hint or two that there are some <b>major changes coming</b>...</p><p>It's been a beautiful, exploratory ride. It truly has been.</p><p><b>And it isn't over. </b>My desire to write and publish, and to take the knowledge I've gained over the last 7+ years of working on Edge of Night, is <b>returning with a vengeance</b>. I want to get back into it, and maybe do even more with it. Things that I didn't have the resources to do before.</p><p>However, it won't be here. And it won't be under this name.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to start fresh. I've changed quite a bit since first starting EoN, and choosing the pen name Eve. (I always disliked my choice of last name -- Estelle -- anyway.). And my next steps are going to reflect some of those changes.</p><p>I'll be starting out with the same goals I had in mind for EoN. A simple place to grow and experiment. But I'm also keeping in mind a slightly bigger picture as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm excited to see where it goes. And I truly hope to see some of you there with me.</p><p>You've been amazing. I truly appreciate your support.</p><p>Still working on details. Still getting things set up.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I'm going to finish Nightfall</b> before I dive deep into anything else.</p><p>That is going to serve as my relic collection of older works. It has more of a purpose than it did before.</p><p><br /></p><p>I must get my life in order before committing to anything for sure, and it may be a while from now. But the blog isn't going anywhere until then -- most new content will be saved for the future, but I'll still be working in the background. Stop in and say hey if you ever feel like it!</p><p><br /></p><p>I sincerely hope this post finds you well, in life, family, health, and everything in between.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all for everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eve</p><p>------------------------</p><p><i>I was suspended from Twitter a while ago (no idea why lol) and finally appealed to get my account back.

Did you know I had to check at least three times how many years ago it was that I made this little blog of mine?<br>
<br>
Guys, I'm losing track already. WTF. That's how long it's been.<br>
<br>
Much has changed over these wonderful five years. Heck, many of you that I first exchanged blog links with, during my early days, many are gone, now -- or on your way out. Which I get, 100%. It's a lot of time, energy, and effort to run a blog... No matter how casual you are about it. And, eventually, you may find yourself drifting away from your online world, to focus more on your personal life. Passions come and go.<br>
<br>
(Who knows, maybe some of you will return to the blogosphere in the future. I'd certainly be happy to see ya!)<br>
<br>
I'm feelin' it, too. It's pretty obvious from how inactive I am these days. But, despite posts that are few and far between, I still love writing here. Whenever I get a burst of inspiration, this is <i>still</i> where I head.<br>
<br>
Sadly, I've not been around to pay visits to my fellow writers and blog buddies, but I'm still here...<br>
<br>
I've taken a much more relaxed, whenever-I-get-to-it approach to this since my efforts had begun to be directed elsewhere. Unfortunately, that means that, at times, I don't have anything new out for months... But it has also kept me going. Kept me from getting burned out.<br>
<br>
I will, hopefully, reenter into a more active phase again, sometime... Till then, thank you for sticking around. :)<br>
<br>
Ready to hear what's been going on 'round these parts as of late?<br>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Howdy ho, good morning/afternoon/evening/night to you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you follow my arse on <a href="https://twitter.com/eve_edgeofnight" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, you'll already know about this... However, if you haven't heard it yet, I joined <b>Wattpad</b>, a very well-known and established writing community and platform.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had been feeling like something new was needed for a while, something to change things up a bit. And I won't lie when I say that even the thought of leaving Blogger for WordPress (or another blog platform) crossed my mind. Briefly. But, after some research, I still favor good ol' Blogger for my needs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm approaching Wattpad a bit differently than previous writing community sites (like <b>AllPoetry</b> or <b>HelloPoetry</b>, both of which I love, but I never kept up with). <b>It'll serve as both a backup</b>, in the case that something were to happen to this blog, its content, or Blogger as a whole <i>(looking at you, Google+)</i>, <b>and as an alternative/extra</b> to EoN.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had originally planned on posting only my "best of" poems and stories, but it felt like chopping off a limb and having to pick which leg I wanted to keep. So I took the easy way out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At a goal rate of <b>1-2 (more or less) pieces per week</b>, all of my poems and my stories will go up on Wattpad. That includes the crappy old ones. They'll be given fancy (er, as fancy as I can make 'em, anyhow) <b>new covers</b>, many will include (optional) embedded audio for<b> atmospheric music</b>, and all of them will include <b>Author's Notes</b> with extra info related to each piece, how it fits in, its themes, any dedications, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Very similar to what I do here now, but with all the added skills and knowledge I've gained over these last 4+ years of blogging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I'm caught up and posting current content, I may even do some <b>Wattpad exclusives</b>, considering the entirely new community there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We'll see how it all pans out. I'm feeling very excited about this. I think it'll be interesting to revisit all these old pieces... And it'll give me a little more piece of mind, that not all of my time and effort has been concentrated into just one spot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Pictures, videos, communities, comments made using G+, posts, profiles, followers, and anything else having to do with the social network will all be gone very shortly.</div>

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">UPDATE (1/15/19): All good now on betas! Poem to be published very soon. Thank you!</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gooood evening!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll keep this short and sweet, but I'm looking for some fabulous beta readers. I've finished writing a <b>three-part poem</b> piece, and I've stared at it for so long now that my opinion is garbage. I can't spot the many flaws I <i>know</i> are there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I need your help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No beta-reading experience needed. You don't have to be good at poetic analysis. Seriously, the perspective of somebody who has never read a poem in their life is just as valuable to me as the perspective of a poetry connoisseur. If you're interested, you've got the gig.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Only requirement: <b>Be honest! Be ruthless!</b> I can take it, and I <i>need</i> that sort of feedback.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank you!! :) I really, truly appreciate it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>* * *</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><b>If you'd like to be my beta reader</b>, just leave a comment saying so below (or contact me in some other way), and I'll provide you the link to a Google Doc that contains the entire poem.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>From there, you can make suggestions right inside the form, or send them to me via email or social media messages, etc.</i></div>

Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
2018 has finally come to a close, and personally I find it a bit sad to say goodbye. It was an interesting time -- lot of internal and a few major external changes in my own life, and plenty of happenings going on around it. Got some good writing in, although it's never as much as you hope it will be. :)<br />
<br />
Still, I'm happy with the pieces I've churned out this year. I find it exciting that I'm able to write more and more meaningful poems and stories, along with the usual just-for-fun kind. Though my post quantity has decreased, much improvement has been made in terms of quality, and it's been nice to just let posts form as they will, without having to worry about getting enough out and in good time, etc., etc...<br />
<br />
Again, it's never as much as you'd like it to be, but I feel pretty balanced at the moment, really.<br />
<br />
And it's sweet -- this time last year, I was writing <a href="https://eveofnight.blogspot.com/2018/01/tidings-of-spring-letter-to-myself.html" target="_blank">Tidings of Spring</a>. One of my main points of internal conflict at that time was wanting, knowing I should get out into the world -- specifically, the working world -- and simultaneously being far too content with the one I already had. While it would eventually have become a necessary move, it wasn't yet immediate -- which made it difficult, and a mental weight I felt daily.<br />
<br />
A year later, I'm in the midst of such a move and having a blast with it. It's not a perfect situation, but it's progress. For now, things are settled. I'm happy, lighter. Ideas are flowing! (Sort of.)<br />
<br />
I'm even finally getting to classics I should have read eons ago -- started Harry Potter, paused, but currently I'm reading Tolkien (the Hobbit, with LOTR planned for after). 'Bout time.<br />
<br />
Anyway, these New Year posts are always pretty much just reflective and incohesive rambles, but that was my 2018 in a non-comprehensive nutshell. How was yours? <b>What's one memorable moment you have from this year now past?</b><br />
<br />
(Tad late on this, too, but I wanted to get something out and it's not even mid January, yet, so it's still appropriate lol!)<br />
<br />
Didn't feel the need to continue my "A New Year's Thank You" title tradition, either. Same content, but time to change it up.<br />
<br />
As for other posts, I'm currently working on several new poems, one of which is a three-parter! I'm excited for that. 2/3 parts done, however, final completion date TBD.<br />
<br />
Have a safe and brilliant new year! Thanks for spending some of it with me here at EoN.<br />

In my <a href="https://eveofnight.blogspot.com/2018/10/fourscore-and-seven-4-years-ago-four.html" target="_blank">previous post</a> celebrating Edge of Night's fourth anniversary, I hinted at a special gift courtesy of <b>Melissa</b> from <b><a href="https://literarybookgifts.com/" target="_blank">Literary Book Gifts</a></b>. Melissa had perfect timing with her offer; I normally don't write posts like these, but it happened to be a really nice, and different, fit as an anniversary gift for you all, and I know plenty of you love brilliant authors like Lewis Carroll, Edgar A. Poe, Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen... (Heard enough yet?)</div>

Dear lord, that was a terrible title.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anywho, October 8th was a special day for Edge of Night; it was the fourth anniversary of its creation, and of my time in the blogging world, at least as the pseudonymous Eve. From 2014 to 2018, we've both come a long way -- in large part due to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beautiful people, you are! Honestly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm going to keep this blogiversary post very short and sweet this time 'round. I always try to get these posts out on the anniversary date, but I'll have to settle with getting it published over the weekend. I don't believe I even have any updates to share! I've pretty much covered them all recently enough that I'd just be repeating myself.</div>

A fun form of recordkeeping, the sharing of blog stats is a common blogiversary tradition -- it makes for a great way to reflect on progress made, and can also serve as a trip down memory lane (I've trimmed it down a bit this year, eliminating some categories I used in previous years).</div>
