I'm very sorry for the lack of leadership and direction with Multhaiku, especially in the wake of HaikuWriMo, I just did not anticipate the workload I would have during the month of February. In fact, I suspected otherwise, haha! Because of this, I would really like to take a moment to thank kerrybush42 and haijinik for proceeding to be awesome contributors in my sudden and unexplained absence. They are both singlehandedly responsible for all the haiku activities at the group over the last month and deserve all of the recognition. All of it! Thank you guys. I cannot thank you enough.
Multhaiku started way back when as an experiment with betwixtthepages after vespera's eye-opening article on Scifaiku. I fell in love with scifaiku and often wondered about the concept applied to all genres of poetry, and this group was ushered into existence from many a helpful hand over the years and continues to be a labor of love for me to preside over. There's never a day on deviantART (yes I still type it that way, it's out of habit) I don't look forward to reading what the members of this group have submitted lately. I'm never disappointed in people's creativity with micropoetry.
In short, I became very preoccupied with school, work, WeirdAndLovely, home improvement, and other various writing I am crafting, but not necessarily posting. I haven't posted many bitlets lately or much free verse, however, that doesn't mean things aren't being written. I think I have up to Bitlets 520-ish posted, and there are currently 550-ish written. Meanwhile, I have been dabbling in the 'adult market' with prose, something that will never see the light of day here on my dA profile, in the hopes of seeing some revenue from this type of writing, due to the demand of the market (people are more willing to pay for it, commission or otherwise).
Lately, the workload looks more lenient and forgiving, and I hope to be able to spend more time here in the future. However, I will be on vacation with my partner for a week and a half here shortly. Because of this, King of the Haiku will make its return sometime in late March.
Thank you to all the people through the years who have made this group absolutely amazing to be a part of!

Quick Question
Would anyone be upset if I posted some of my shibari photography here? I mainly use this account for writing because well, I'm mainly a writer to begin with, but tying people up (with consent) to make fun and beautiful designs has become a hobby of mine as well and the site redesign is not friendly to writers anymore. It's a fun way to spend time with someone I love and indulge in my artistic side. As of now, the photos just sit on mine and all my partners' google drives. Here's an example of the kind of photography I do with these photoshoots. Let me know. I'd like to share but if you guys are uninterested or don't want it, I see no need to bother you, but I'd love to share. Nic
Coronavirus Creativity
Hey guys, it's been a while. I never stopped lurking around here, but I did stop posting. I kept writing and creating but a lot of my creative energies have gone to projects that either don't work well here (the past two years I've spent learning music theory, guitar, and rapping/singing quite intensely). Any other energy I wasn't spending on my album I had was spent on work, learning programming because I want to switch to that career field, my fiancee and our wedding, and writing bitlets. Guys, I have over 600 bitlets. What do I do with all of these micropoems? Granted, a lot of them have gone on to be full-fledged works of literature.
But
Hullo World
What's up guys, it's Nic. I've been busy, lotsa life changes, including becoming a lurker on deviantART, something I never would have expected of myself. My life is changing, for the last year or so I have been working two part-time jobs to make ends meet, and with the help of my family I have kicked debt's butt and am starting school for programming.
I'm excited to develop my knowledge with code, and with the savings I have, I am about to cut down my hours at one job in favor of starting a website of some kind and building it up into something I can make money from as I go to school. I'm a bit paralyzed as to what the website should be abou
Weddingmania
Hullo, dA, long time, no talk. I never really stopped keeping tabs on this place, but I reduced myself to mostly lurking for the last year or so. I've been writing, wedding planning, and otherwise keeping busy.
If anybody followed me before my stream of updates ended, you might have read I ran a pizza chain. I have moved on from that now and started working with special needs kids at the suggestion of a former coworker to supplement my income while I looked for a new job with my skillset. I still haven't found anything, but I'm being very picky. My last job absorbed my life with very little benefit, and now that I've stepped away from that,
