Good-Bye

Hello. This is not the Fictional Character of Olaf the Bald that you have all come to know. This is the creator of that character, the creator of Omar the Bold, Erik the Noisy, George the Yellow, Soren the Hard-of-Hearing Scribe, Phil the Conceited, Gregory the Hairy, Lulu the Loud, Chia the Mace, Ilmig the Carpenter Dwarf, and many, many others.

I started this fictional blog less than a year ago, right after I received the last expected rejection letter for the Children's book that I had just written. As all writers do, I planned on picking myself up and starting on a new project.

However, since I the new project I planned on working on was much darker less humorous than the Children's book, as is my usual writing style, I decided to express my humor in a day-to-day blog from my favorite class's perspective. Thus, I began.

The darker, less humorous novel is still in the works. However, I no longer wish to have a conflict between the two if no one views the project that I shove out there for all to see. I usually slave to get a post published, and yet, when I do, no one reads it. Even worse, I feel guilty when I DON'T get a post published. Its time to change.

Until I get some sort of support from more than one or two people, Viking Rants: by Olaf the Bald is over. Just a friendly reminder that someone actually does appreciate what I'm doing would be swell. The novel I'm working on may or may not be published, so this may be the last time you ever hear from me.

Thanks to all those who still read and/or love this blog. I'm sorry if I'm abandoning you, but sometimes, you've got to make that choice. If I get enough support, this post will disappear, and the CRUD storyline will continue from where it was.

And so, for one last final cheer:

Olaf the BAAAAALD!

Olaf the Bald! I just want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done here! You have created a place where people such as I may have a refuge from the world of stress, fear, and hate. I have not always been the most supportive fan as far as other people can see, but in my heart, I truly am your biggest fan! You make me laugh when I don't want to smile and you make me feel good about myself just by being someone who cares! Thanks for everything!!! I do hope your book(s) get published and that this isn't a permanent good-bye!
