so-called writer

I guess I'm kind of in a hiatus, and this isn't me breaking it, just want to let y'all know I'm still alive and also my posts didn't just mysteriously disappear.

Aha. Sorry about that.

But also, gotta be honest: I don't think this is working out. I don't think I'm at the right point with my life, mental health, skill level, or anything to really be trying anything like this? I haven't been this entire time, but after the past several months of getting nothing done but staring at my computer and trying to manifest words onto a google doc once in a blue moon, that fact has fully slapped me in the face. Though really it should've been obvious.

I don't want to say I'm giving up on these projects, but that's... kind of what I'm doing? For now, anyway. Hopefully in the future when I'm in a more well-suited place, I'll come back to these, but for the moment they're banished to the back of my mind lol. I'm really not making this decision lightly: all I've done for these projects in ages is add to their playlists and pinterest boards, and I've hardly ever succeeded in trying to do more. They're fun to think about, but actually working on them escapes me.

And again: Ideally, I'll come back to these at some point! Once I'm in a better spot - healthier, a better writer, all that jazz. It might not be soon, but I'm too attached to these stories & characters, as vague and underdeveloped as they are, to abandon them completely.

This isn't the end of my IF writing career in its entirety, though! I am still working on the fabled collaborative project, and we're making progress. Slowly but surely. I'll be writing an RO and a major antagonist! As well as the minor antagonists surrounding the two of them. Once we have the blog set up and the demo complete, I'll post about it here! Y'all aren't free of me just yet.
