*shuffles awkwardly*
I expect nobody comes here anymore, but for anyone who happens on this page, and has a spare fuck to give, I've been writing my way through the JakesException canon:

I never knew you, Jake, and I imagine you'd smirk if you could see this from the Great Beyond, but I'm damned if your stuff hasn't done wonders when it comes to breaking my writer's block!

Oh, Jake.
You lovely, talented man. How I miss you, how I miss your words.

I love you, Jake. I still do. Rest in peace, you were strong.

I love you, Jake. I hope you knew that. So much. And I still miss you.

I still miss you, Jake. Lord, what I'd give to be able to talk to you again, to tell you how much everything has changed. I pray you're no longer hurting, and you've found peace. I wish I had been able to speak to you more before you passed. Sigh. Love you, Jake.

and my heart still aches.

Mine too. Thought about him today. He had such a specific edginess to him that whenever I think of something that was his type of humor or way of speaking, I think of him. Today, I thought of something as a smartass comment but never said it at work, and I realized I still miss Jake a lot.

i find myself doing the same often. i was never close with jake, either - i very rarely spoke with him, even while avidly reading his pieces and journals.
i regret not becoming a good friend to him while i had the chance. occasionally just the way certain things are written or said will jar a memory of something he wrote or something he may find amusing.
i think a lot of us in the writing community really miss jake. not everyone was social with him, but he had a lot of watchers who cared. if there's any sort of afterlife or reincarnation or what have you, i hope it treats jake well - he deserves it.

I hope if there is, it does too. I would have considered myself close to Jake. But we had a falling out and four months later, he wasn't here anymore. In fact, I'm pretty sure one of the poems posted on dA posthumously has a part directed at me.

Please see the journal above for more details. It will be updated with more details as more is known. Please be respectful of your comments on his page. Thank you.
Rest in peace, Jake. I'd like to know that there was more I could have done for you, but you would have done more for me anyway.

You're welcome, I suppose.
For someone around my age, I'm envious of your ability... Β¬_Β¬"

I don't like biscuits... Not a lot of them...
Saw your version of Maddie's poem - it was pretty decent.

Thank you - it's a shame so few others like it...

You're very welcome.

You're welcome.
I read your stuff when I was much younger, and I still do now. I only just remembered your account name, though - hence the late +watch.
Your prose really helped me get to grips with what I was and what I liked growing up. So, thanks.

You're probably doing better than me, mind. You've got a partner! I hope you two are happy together.
Do they know about your writing and support you with it, or...?

You say you're fucked up; in which respect? Do you mean like some kind of mental issue, or is it much deeper than that?
To be honest, I'm not super-fixated / desperate to find anyone right now; I just get lonely sometimes...
That's good. <3

Sorry to hear about all of that; Aspergers is definitely a tough one to work with.
It's almost ironic in a way that it's tough to speak fluently for you, and yet your writing comes across as really smooth.
I mean, I swear a lot - but that's because I'm just a little too loose-mouthed when it comes to expletives!
And we're all pimply somewhere.

Your works is.... I don't know I have words powerful enough to express how humbled and amazed I feel after you've followed me and told me I have so much potential when you're an author who writes such incredible poetry. Thank you so much for the feedback, and for the watch and for the favorite.

Aww, shucks. My stuff isn't that good. I'm happy with it, but I don't expect anyone else to like my stuff - so whatever.
There's no need to think I'm any better than you - or that I'm an idol or something; we're both on the same level, really. I'm nowhere near perfect.
As for the feedback, I usually give as much as I receive per person. I still think you're someone to watch.
If you ever get the time, I'd love to find out a bit about you and your past if you want to talk about it - if not, never mind.

Really your work is very good. It's not exactly the be all end all of poetry but it is fantastic.Β
And I would like that. Moreover, I'd like to know more about you. Poetry makes me wonder about the poet, you know?

I think my stuff fluctuates. At the minute, I'm on hiatus because I'm essentially out of ideas. I have some pieces stockpiled, but I probably won't be uploading them for a while / until I'm happy with them.
Well, maybe it'd be best to communicate via Note rather than out in the open - no?
Absolutely. That's how you accomplish a deeper understanding of the art, by learning about the poet's experiences.

Yeah I actually just came out of hiatus. I had about two months of absolute writer's block it was bleggh.
Yes, note me

I'm more just "out of breath", so to speak. All the shit I've gone through feels kind of spent. It's like I'm running on empty, and there's no point in writing when nothing is coming out.
Will do.
