Temporary Hiatus - An Update From Kendall

Let me preface this post by saying, this isn't goodbye, but it may be a while before I post anything else again. 

Some of you know this already, but I actually haven't written a caption since March. Everything I've posted since then was previously written and slowly time-released. For any of you that inspect the file names of my captions, you may notice that they are quite out of order. 

Anyways, the short story is, I've been very busy as of late. I've actually spent the last several weeks writing non-stop--unfortunately, not captions, but still important work. Before that, I was busy with other work. As much as I love captioning, it's not my career and I've needed to focus my energies on my eventual life trajectory. Currently, I have a brief reprieve, but I'm not sure if more writing is exactly what I'd like to be doing right now. Remember how I said I've spent the last several weeks writing non-stop? Well I have over 100 essays to show for it. I'm planning to spend some more time outside, with friends, and engaging in physical activity now that that's almost over. However, if all goes well, I'll be quite busy for a long time to come. 

The other difficulty I've been facing is that last spring I transitioned to a new computer. My old one bogged out. Bugger. So my new computer is all fancy smancy and awesome, but it doesn't have Photoshop which I used to use to make my captions. I've tried using GIMP, but quite frankly, it's not the same and I'm not quite up to learning a whole new program. So that's also put a bit of a wrench in abilities to output captions even if I wanted to. 

So until I can get a little more time and get back all my tools, I probably won't be making anymore captions for awhile. It's funny, because I'll see a picture sometimes and have a great idea for it, but I just don't have the resources to turn it into a caption anymore. I'm not sure how long this dry spell will be, but I definitely don't intend on leaving forever. 

To everyone that's read and been reading my captions, I thank you. Especially those of you who leave lovely comments (*cough* Miss Simone *cough*), it's been really great reading all of them and I always appreciate the feedback. They really make my day. Hopefully I'll be able to reconnect with all of you once I'm back to full production.

With love,

Kendall

Where's Kendall?! (Not a Caption)

This is not a caption post.

I just wanted to give anyone who read my blog regularly in the past an update and explanation as to why I haven't posted in so long. To put it simply, I've been busy. Nothing bad has happened, I've just been really busy. The second half of summer, I traveled a lot for various reasons and when I finally settled back down in my apartment again, it was time to start school.

I've been involved in many activities and I'm enjoying myself. Sometimes I miss captioning, but most times, I'm just too busy to think about it.

So does this mean I'm not going to caption any more? No, it just means I'll be extremely sporadic in my posts and potentially dormant for a long while. I actually do have several ideas in my head, so I'm not out of stories, I just haven't had the time to put them to paper (or ASCII as it were). Perhaps you'll see a short caption from me soon, or perhaps not. It all depends on my schedule.

Anyways, just wanted to let all who cared know that I'm doing alright and I'm not dead...yet!

Thanks for reading,

Sincerely,

Kendall

"His voice slowed to a crawl and I noticed his eyes straying to the tops of my breasts. I tried to hide my amusement. It didn't take a genius to figure out what he wanted, if only he knew. I decided to play along...for the moment."

Celebrate some achievements with me as I take a look back at what has come to pass since I've started my blog! Also included, a list of what my Top 10 favorite captions that I've written are! 

Two Caps!: Make Me Proud and Timid Adventures

So here's the skinny, as I was writing this story, I had two ideas in my head that both began the same, but ended differently. I decided to cap the same picture twice with the dialogues that I ended up writing and post  both! Let me know which one you like better!

Make Me Proud:

Timid Adventures:

Looking Up (and a new idea!)

So I'm pretty excited for this and I hope all of you lovely readers will humor me with this. While I was writing this cap, this idea suddenly struck me. I would write the beginnings of a cap which would also be capable of working as a stand alone, but it would be left on a sort of edge so that you could finish it! So that's exactly what I did! I've also written my own ending to this story as well, which is below the first image, but I would love to see what you guys can come up! (click on "read more" to see my ending!)

You can leave a comment with your ending or email me at kaitlyn.marshall23@yahoo.com if your submission is too long. I'm looking forward to see what you guys come up with!

Finish this story! Post a comment or email me!
