I'm still planning on releasing my JSW stuff. Haven't forgotten, but I've been preoccupied with breaking things off with my boyfriend.
It's been really tough.
When this finally happens you'll all be the first to know ^_^

I am very sorry to hear about this "downturn" in your life, Sendy. I
wish you the best of luck (and as little pain as possible) in
solving the issue!
I can say, from my personal (albeit not as dramatic) experience,
that for people fascinated by JSW the subject may be quite an
effective remedy for real-life problems. Not a solution, of course,
but rather an efficient painkiller. Becoming involved (to the point
of obsession) in a JSW project allows you (me, at least) to
concentrate my mind so fully on the subject that I keep thinking
about it all the time and even get irritated when real-life concerns
disturb my JSW-thinking-processes. It has allowed me on various
occasions to actually take my mind off unpleasant subjects and has
given me a lot of much-needed peace of mind.
I hope this might be (or become) your experience at this difficult
time, too, so that your problems do not turn you into a "Manic
Person" :-)
