About Squirrel
I'm not actually a squirrel, though that is my author-name (Squirrel). I go by 'Field,' and am a golden/field mouse, with gold-colored fur. Rural. Shy. A hopeless romantic. This is reflected in my writing. I'm also a photographer, by degree, so a general artistic sort, at times. I'm not sure what else to say, or what anyone would find relevant. Chat me up sometime if you want to know more, I guess!

Thanks for the fave on 'The Snake Pit'! :}===<
While I get the impression it's hard for you to accept a compliment, I want you to know that your unique style fills a little void in my heart. It's beautiful, and you've been one of my favourite writers on here since before it was SoFurry.
I don't accept compliments very well ... yeah. My first reaction is to try to deflect them. I'm just shy and ... stuff. And lack in self-confidence, sometimes. But ... thanks for your kind words, though. I realize my writing days are pretty much over, but it was interesting while it lasted, I guess. I just don't seem to be able to do it anymore, time-wise and energy-wise.
Hey there. Just wanted to leave a shout and tell you that your new story was amazingly written...sorry I haven't talked with you in a while, but I don't get on as often as I used to...been busy...anways, just wanted to say hi and that I love your writing ^_^
Hello there Squirrel, I happen to have been keeping a bit of an eye on your stories while I wasn't really a part of YS, but now that I have an account I'd like to say that your stories are rather interesting in the way they are.
I also like the mixture of poetry and prose in them, which is a rather refreshing change so to say. Keep up the great job on your stories and I also should say hello too.

Thank you.
It's kind of you to take the time to ... say such nice things. I do my best with my writing. Or, at least, it takes a lot of time and energy. I know my style is weird. I think that tries one's patience, sometimes, but ...
... it's just how I express myself. I blur lines a lot. First and third person. Poetry and prose. It's sort of stream of consciousness, sometimes. But I love romance, and the animal/fur characters, especially the prey species, rodents, rabbits, bats ... mm-m ... so ...
... I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I'm glad you like them. I'm trying to write more, but I have less time, nowadays, and it actually takes longer for me to write stories. So. I do less. But I want to keep doing them.
Thanks again.

O M G...Generally I can compare a story to the list of faves that shows on an authors story page, and guess how long they've been here. So looking at your Golden Delicious story, and that you have three favs, I thought you were relatively new.
346 STORIES?! I'm gonna be busy the next couple months...

Yeah, I've been writing for a long, long time. I think I have a small, niche audience, but ... I'm not that popular. I've just written a lot. I have, like, 346 stories on here, but I'm ... currently writing my best, I believe. I've continued to mature. I hope. But ... I don't know. I hope you enjoy whatever you read.
Your stories were a frequent occurrence in my life and now that they're not due to me not being on as often I begin to wonder, how have you been. Surely things have changed but in which direction have they mitigated. Have you made your life any better?
That and I want to say 'Hii', cuz you know, it's been a little while.

Are you ready for Easter, boy!? :|
I can't say that I am, exactly ... my dad's in the hospital at the moment, my mom will be out of state for a cousin's wedding that weekend, two of my siblings will be away at school, and I'll either be farming or holed up in the dark room at my own school, so I'm ... not gonna be able to go to church that day, from the looks of it. So, I'll probably be by myself most of the day. It's not something I'd given much thought to. I've just been pushing myself really hard. Not really able to think too far ahead, then, because of it. But ... I don't know. We'll see. Hopefully, the weather will be good, then, and ... maybe I can get some decent pictures in my free time. Because Easter jumps around to different dates, it's, like, freezing on some years, very sunny on others. The later date should give it some warmth this year, I think. Which will be good. I have the desire to write a story, but, like ... I don't think I'll be able to. But, again, we'll see. It'll be good to get deeper into spring. I gotta scurry off to do some oil painting. Messy business. Thanks for the shout. God bless you.
Man, I understand. I don't expect too much for mine. Gotta' curve it for Good Friday and have no ground beef, but I haven't a single fish to eat, so I'm just gonna make gravy and biscuits for dinner (classic college diet... plus, it's a southern favorite)
Easter has that... "FUN" way of bouncing around. It's a little bemusing it had lots of controversy on it's very date, but now it's not even cemented! It's like, "here I am, OH WAIT, NO, I'm over here!"
I just remember liking it for being so green. Though right now it's an absolute downpour. But that means I get to see green, so, I'm happy for the rain.

Squirrel, I've been pandering around in absence for too long? How goes it for you these days?
It goes ... as mouses do, I suppose, full of the usual little joys, pains, and bouts of scurry. Just very busy being a 'farmer-artist,' for lack of a better word. Living on the farm, and ... going to school in the city. Kinda straddling two worlds. I prefer the former. I prefer seclusion, to some degree. The city, towns, all that, are stressful. Crowded. I can't breathe. I can breathe in the countryside. Halfway through my photography track at college, nearly, and ... taking pictures all the time (many of which are on my FA page). Creating lots. Following my sports in my free time, and ... haven't written a story in three/four months, I know. Not since my last Ross/Aria bow piece. I'm at the point where all the energy I used to channel into writing is being channeled into my photos and schooling and ... farm-working. I live a unique life. I have more to say, more to write about, for sure, but ... I don't have the spare energy, often. It takes me six hours a day over three consecutive days (around 18 hours total) to write a 20-page story, edit it, all that. And I just don't have that uninterrupted time right now, and ... I still want romance. I still love expressing that want in prose, the beauty, the passion, the union of it, but I'm older, and ... still alone. Can't pine forever. I'm not giving up on it, no, but maybe I've accepted my solitude, and ... if I don't feel as desperate a need for romance, there's less a spark, therefore, to write it, and ... I'm satisfied. I don't have anything left to prove to myself or anyone about my writing ability, I would hope. I do want to write a few more 'shorts.' Field and Adelaide. I love them. But ... I can't say when. So ... but, yes, I'm fine. Doing well. Productive. Maturing. Living. Spring is here. Summer waits in line, dutifully. I'm happy, if not pressed upon by responsibilities that alternate from the welcome to the obligatory. And, now, I must be off to bed, so ... goodnight. I hope the new day finds you well. And God bless you.
