To those wondering where I am--I've had a lot of pretty big life changes in the last couple of years, and I'm not confident or comfortable in participating in theorizing discussions here. I have always believed that characters are at the heart of Brandon's storytelling, and I will continue to love discussions related to the characters of the Cosmere and elsewhere. However, I have been historically largely disappointed by the level of discourse on this forum, particularly with respect to analytical sincerity and nonpartisan moderation, and I have very little desire to return to a place that, despite the best intentions of the moderation staff, made me feel less for not conforming to the popular, espoused ideas.
If I have offended anyone in saying this, I apologize. My purpose was not to offend. More to give an insight into my state of mind.
At this time, I am basically maintaining this account for the purposes of participating in Writing Excuses when I have the mental and emotional stability to do so, but I don't intend to participate much on the greater discussions of the forum as I once did years ago.
I have made many great friends on here, people who, for all intents and purposes, I consider family, and for that I am grateful to my experience here. But for those who are hoping my comment on "Tactics to making a good post" means that I'm going to become active once more, I sincerely apologize, but that's not the case. Above all else, I have to consider my own mental and emotional health. -
Where do you get those excellent cookie pictures?

Lengthy is definitely true. Insightful...well, I try to be. I only really listen to the audiobooks, though, so I'm not the best at exact wording or where something is at in the hard copies, but it's a point of mine that I always try to make sure most of my posts are mostly well thought-out, not just "Oh I like this" or "No that's wrong" kind of stuff.

Now, see...this is the crux of the problem. If I told you that I have a secret folder on my computer that just contains images of cookies, you'd probably think I'm a weirdo.
Actually, I just google images of "cookie" and pick one that looks particularly delicious, lol. I had a professor in college who would show images of cookies during his lectures for people that gave good answers...I merely stole the idea and used it here.
