Hi again, y'all!  Firstly, I'm still having focal issues, but they're not as bad, so I might get something productive done!  Secondly, if I'm honest, I've only slept three hours in the last two days trying to finish my final project for engineering, and I'm still going to fail, you can bet!  Mostly because I spent most of it talking to a series of wonderful people over on Instagram all night, slowly coming to the conclusion that our sweet innocent little Pal Waaktaar is not all that sweet and innocent, and making TikToks about how stressed I am instead of fixing the reason I'm stressed.  I still have exams in four weeks, HOWEVER, I do have some good news on that front!
          	
          	There's not all that much to revise now that content has been cut, and besides, my predicted grades aren't really going to drop much regardless of how I do, so all in all, it's not actually as bad as it seems.  And it turns out that the last two nights of not sleeping might have turned out to be worth something, because the project is actually due today!  While having more time to actually complete it and get some content down on paper would have been nice, the bonus here is that once it's handed in, there's nothing more I can do about it, meaning all the time and strength and will to live it's been sapping from me will be free again!  Granted, I will have revision to do, but it means I can take a few little breaks here and there, get back on my sensible and not insane timetable that allows me time to eat, sleep and sh!t in peace without this stupid project tormenting me, and the bottom line of all this means that I'm going to have time in the evenings to write again!  
          	
          	Not promising huge things, but I AM promising that with the Easter holidays next week and a vague revision timetable that I will update something, hopefully my main fic, but maybe a few of my short songfics might be in store too.
          	
          	Thanks for sticking by me, we'll get through this!  The human spirit will prevail!

Sorry I haven't posted as I said I would  if you didn't know, exams where I am have been pseudo-cancelled in that they're now basically spread out and the content is whittled down and all our previous work does count - it doesn't make sense to me either and I'm actually from the UK, don't worry!  I have about ten million assessments in the next week, and a two week period in May where I've got a sh!t ton of exams, which is not really fun.
          
          So I'm pretty busy, not to mention that my irritating own brain has been distracting itself (if you didn't know I have autism btw), and I've been pretty stressed.  I've already had several anxiety attacks since we got back to actual live school on the 8th, and I've been having migraines (which I think might be a caffeine thing) which have left me drained, anxiety attacks the same, and when I'm not too exhausted to do anything I'm TRYING to focus long enough to finish my Engineering project which is due at the end of next week.  It's been a real effort to focus on my classes, I've been stimming like mad, and I currently have the attention span of a goldfish. 
          
          Basically, I have a lot on my shoulders right now, my brain is understeering and I can barely focus on the project due in in nine days worth 40% of my final grade, let alone figuring out where tf I left off in the fanfic I was writing...
          I might try and write a one-shot or two (do y'all wanna see some more of Mags and Pål at some point?  That's what I'm thinking of going for) if only because it's marginally more productive than making low-effort tiktoks, but I'm not promising anything.  I can't even work on my main projects at the moment, let alone fanfiction I don't even have a plotline for!
          
          Thank you all for being so patient with me, and I promise I'll update again soon!

@AnalogueLifelines take all the time you want. Yeah this pandemic is a f*****g mess and it’s not making anything easier. Mental health is also very important, I know my share. Take care of yourself and stay safe.❤️
            
            Don’t be pressured or anything. Do what you think is right and what you think is good for you. And if that’s writing, then good. Whatever it is, as long as it helps you. If you feel like it, you can take some time off and listen to some a-ha. They’ve always helped me. Do whatever that will calm you. Just think of it like this, exams are ending this May/June right? The pressure would certainly die out after it’s all done. You feel free afterwards. The stress is gonna reduce and it’ll all go back to normal...(hopefully this pandemic too)
            
            I’d be excited to read a Pål or Mags oneshot. XD. No pressure though. Whenever you feel it’s right. 
            
            Lots of virtual hugs and kittens!!!  ❤️

Heyyy y'all, I'm back!  It's been a hard few months, but coming back to a-ha has helped so much.  I'm currently working on a novel series that I'm hoping to get the first book of which published on my other, more professional (aka not totally chaotic) account @TheKittenWriter, but meanwhile, I've been having a lot of days where I stall, and I've written a lot of nonsense because of it.  So I'm going back to my roots, writing short fiction pieces based on songs, specifially a-ha, but I've also got a few in the bank by an awesome indie band CRUISR, and an entire novella in the works based on a song called Talk Too Much by another indie band called COIN.   I guess there's no harm in posting those here once I'm finished, right?  This doesn't have to be ENTIRELY dedicated to a-ha?
          Not sure about a full length fanfic at the moment, I'll have to see.  But I can definitely tell you that I AM BACK, and I will be updating.
          Have a free kitten, my dearest reader, and remember that at least music can't break your heart :) =^..^=
