Man Down (Markiplier x reader)

Chapter AN

Hello again!

First of all, happy new years to those of you who are reading today (dec 31), I hope you all are enjoying your last days of this shitty year called 2020, and I hope that in 2021, new opportunities come your way and you live life to it's fullest! This pandemic may have put a halt on a lot of things, but with hope and good discipline, I'm sure that 2021 will be that year for everyone.

Secondly, you've made it (once again) to the end of Man Down. If you didn't realize, I pulled the same shit I did last year, which was finishing a book before the new year starts. But this time, I didn't rush through anything.

Last year, I was writing non-stop for several days leading up to new years and while the results were so-so, it can't compare to what I did this year.

I finished on time and I'm obsessed with the final drafts. Not to blow smoke up my own ass or anything but I seriously couldn't tell you how many times I've read the very last chapter, regardless of how basic it was because it was raw, complete and something my heart was familiar with.

If you didn't notice, there was a gap between uploads, almost a three-month period between true ending 4 and 5 and in that time, I couldn't bring myself up to write anything. I feared that I fell out of love with writing because I wasn't being productive with my time (considering I was at home a lot because of the pandemic). I just couldn't write.

But now, writing the true ending was a big sigh of relief. Writing felt like home, like I wasn't being forced to be productive; I was moving on my own accord. And because of that, I made an ending that I'll forever be satisfied with just because of how natural it felt to me. I'm satisfied and happy, and frankly, I hope you guys are as well (after all, I spoiled y'all with more parts than I should have).

There isn't really a lesson here, and I hadn't planned on making this author note so long, but just remember, no matter what type of art you create, make sure you're enjoying what you're doing. Put your happiness first and make sure you're satisfied with the process and results of your work.

Anywho, *flips table* nEw BoOk CoMinG oUt-

But in all seriousness,

Thank you so much for reading and Happy New Year!

-Tasha.
