A little message board.
I've decided to repurpose this website for my madladverse AKA all of the oc characters I have going on. Give them little mini wiki pages. And I'm saving all my old update notes below because I find them historically fascinating (it was when I found out I had a brain tumor).
I started treatment! It'll take a while to notice changes but I've been isolating a bit and was able to write 6k on an unrelated manuscript IN ONE DAY. So there is hope.
YO I might have a medical reason now as to why I stopped writing (which I always thought was weird considering I used to write every day, no exceptions, for a literal decade), which I didn't know was a thing. I'VE GOT A BRAIN-ADJACENT TUMOR but it's fully treatable so it's fine.
I've been working on my new novel and making a conspiracy board for it. I've also discontinued my Discord server and have been socially exhausted for weeks on end now. I wish I could just... not be perceived in person for a year that'd be GREAT.
Currently obsessed with Alexander the Great once again. I wrote an Alexander the Great-inspired book in college and reread it the other day. Brilliant. Show-stopping. I want to read a dozen more of this genre.
Throwback to when I said "within the next week" HAHA I've made more progress on the original novel I started writing, but it's slow going. I've been teaching myself Blender in the meantime so I can make a proper book trailer/teaser for it. If it works out, I hope y'all get to see it!
I've been checking Twitter a little bit lately, but it just makes me want to delete it all XD We'll see. I'll keep this ongoing blog of sorts up.
I've signed a contract with a writing platform to post an original novel within the next year, so my main focus will be on that now. I'm feeling significantly better, and work has been keeping me busy. I plan to post the next chapter of CoC(k) within the next week. That might be a bit ambitious, but it's long overdue. The chapter is nearing 4k anyway, which is usually when I end up posting.
There aren't enough hours in the day.
I still haven’t been writing much of anything, but I’m still neck deep in the concept of writing original fiction again. I’ve just become… supremely tired of everything. It’s felt like pre-period mood swings for the past YEAR and I’m exhausted of it.
Currently rereading CoC(k) and rewatching Stranger Things, which is inspiring a whole other issue. I'm interested in writing original fiction again, but I want to finish CoC this summer EVEN IF IT KILLS ME. I haven't been writing much of anything aside from the original fic idea, which isn't very far along yet. In my head I'm already on book two and screaming.
I haven't been in the mood to write still, but Gui pointed their finger at me and said "YOU. MAKE ME A FIC." and it's the first goddamn thing I've seriously written in a month. AT LEAST I'M STILL ABLE TO WRITE HAHA I WAS STARTING TO WONDER.
I've been chipping away at CoC(k), but I'm still a long ways from finishing the chapter. I'm predicting the last couple chapters to be well over 7k each. Been playing a lot of Minecraft and listening to "The Kingdom of Little Wounds" audiobook, and I reread that old BTS fanfic I wrote... I don't even know any of the BTS fellas, but GAH I wish I finished that fic. It was so good.
Also, therapy has been good. I've only had two sessions so far but it's been a HUGE relief.
Decided to spontaneously post a bunch of chapters I've had in the backlog. I started and finished watching JJK this past weekend and am writing a random drabble of a fic idea I had for that fandom. I don't think it's the fandom for me though, so I'll be back to writing DkBk soon.
I picked up Get In Loser, We're Going Racing for the first time in, like, a YEAR. It's going well, so I might focus on that for now... I'm very attached to the style of that fic.
CoC(k) hiatus until I'm writing normally again. Actively working on it, and technically have one chapter backed up, but I'm nervous to post it until I'm certain I won't go back and change things or realize that I want to scrap everything I haven't posted yet.
I don't know how long it's gonna take. I start therapy next week and have another consultation on Friday and I'm HOPING............. it'll help me write again. I've never been to therapy before so it'll be a real leap HAHA WISH ME LUCK.
