Oh shit! What did I do now? I'll tell you what I did - Nothing. And that's the reason you're reading this, because doing nothing around here became some what of a trend for me about 2 years ago. I kept reminding myself that I needed to come do some edits or answer some blogs or maybe hit up the Writers' Workshop. You know - do something useful to validate my position of trust around here, but like I stated at the top, I was getting really good at doing nothing.

So I lied to myself for a while saying that any day now I'd do just that. That maybe I could find that fervor I had in 2014 when I'd edit nightly, leave feedback on stories, judge contests, win contests, (ya'll thought I wasn't going to say it?) contribute to the community, etc etc.

But I was no longer building my portfolio. I was publishing my work. Which meant that a lot of my fiction was coming down from this platform instead of going up. Had this community, had those of you here that I've developed such incredible bonds with, had Cleric's vision of quality over quantity, not done such a fantasitc job of setting me up for success in the world of literature, I might have just hesitated in taking the exciting yet terrifiyng step into slapping a pricetag on my work and hoping that I was never considered a waste of a reader's money.

My second book was published two weeks ago, and I plan to publish the Tobit Series shortly after. So with all that going on, I finally had to ask myself where Admin K. Banning Kellum on the Creepypasta Wiki stood in my list of priorities.

I can never express how important this platform has been in my growth as an author. I still have a desire to be a source of feedback for writers who desire it. I still care about this site. But I also realized that I didn't need to be an Admin to put any of those passions into applicaiton. I was missing Talk Page questions from people who were reaching out to me because my profile stated in my own words that I was here for the writers as an admin. More and more other admins were having to catch questions that were asked on my page but were going ignored because I just wasn't around anymore. Plus I know that Cleric doesn't enjoy having to reach out to inactive admins/rollbacks and politely inform them that they need to either shit or get off the pot. It can be awkward. And just knowing me is awkward enough, I don't need to amplify it beyond the norm.

And that is why I am announcing with a bittersweet pang of regret coupled with a warm sense of appreciation and gratitude that I've come full circle and have bowed out of the administration team. To everyone that has helped me in any way shape or form to advance one slow step at a time, to everyone who read my horror, to everyone who lit a fire under my ass to keep on writing - you have my sincerest, everlasting gratitude. My door is always open.
