Yeah, I often wonder why I put so much damn thought into Zirconium's plot. Why bother when it all falls on deaf ears, right? But meh, I enjoy it. It has taught me alot about writing, despite the fact that I was fairly convinced I had little left to learn. Maybe it was just due to aging, actually, but I've found my approach to writing has very nearly completely changed since starting Zirconium; I was alot more dark before, but Zirc inspired me to lighten up.
