I'm looking for a day job, preferably sedentary, that will enable me at least to pay our bills and get food and such. Any more would be a bonus, to be traded off against having enough energy left to write. I've done retail and office work. Ideally I'd like to be paid the national average wage for, basically, just being me, but I gather that kind of work doesn't come up that often these days. :)

I'm glad you're here too. *hugs* I hope things do get better.

Uru Live is an online adventure game set in the same universe as Myst* and its sequels, but in the present day. It was intended to be massively multiplayer, but unfortunately it hasn't been massive enough for the publisher, Gametap. We're waiting for the outcome of legal talks between them and the creators, Cyan Worlds, to see if there's any chance it might be revived or at least kept going, perhaps with assistance from the fans. And while we wait, we plot, we bicker, we pontificate, all the fun things that people who love something do when they're worried about the future of the thing they love.

*I can explain Myst if you'd like.
