Most likely, Stocky Jock and Real World Men will be going offline tomorrow.
They most likely won’t be back.
I don’t have the right headspace, real life situation, or the real desire to keep them going.
Stocky Jock has had a good solid run of six years ... and Real World Men has never really taken off.
My novel “To The Pioneers” is also on the chopping block. It’s never gone anywhere...nor will it ever go anywhere. It’s a hacked up pile of words that occasionally gets tossed over when I’m really frazzled. It’s been a nice piece of therapy for me...but it’ll never be a novel...or in print. Those of you who have bits of it...you are the lucky ones.
I think it’s just time for me to just fade away into the blackness of the offline world.
No more websites, no more IM, no more e-mail.
It’s very very tempting.

I never even heard of Real World Men.
Are you going to keep the domains?
(I don't want to take over the work, I'm just curious).
I've been offline for quite a bit lately and haven't kept up with LJ, because of my life stuff and moving 'n such, but I'll say some stuff anyways :)
Well it's a shame that you can't keep those going but frankly, if you don't feel the energy or desire for it anymore, it's time to move on. People typically can't keep projects with no real end, someone else at one point or another has to take over or eventually it will get the axe. Use to the time to grow in different ways.
As for your "novel", a piece of therapy is all it needs to be, writing is an exercise of creativity, intellect and emotions (among other things). It's for you more than others, perhaps it will go on forever or never be finished, nor does it matter. If you can, continue to write or find a way to express yourself, we all need it. It's one of those things that help keep us healthier.
Ya know, I like the offline world, live there and visit here occasionally, and you'll be better for it (if that's not the case). Take the time away if you need and get yourself to where you want to be JT. You're overall health is most important, right?
I have a strong belief that life gives you what you need especially in those difficult times, you are responsible for your actions and no others (this is not a strict rule but you get the gist). Take the time to figure things out but try not to recluse yourself, if that's what you wanna do.
Fight the good fight and do Good work.
