hello everyone ^^
it's been a loooong time. i don't have much to say except maybe to give some context as to why i've taken forever and ever to get anything done (that of which i would like to formally apologize for)
i'll start off with what's had me struggling the most: school!! i am!! still in highschool!! in several honors programs!! i am allergic to imperfection. this has led to me having minimal time to write... though i am trying my best to effectively manage my time so i can finally make some progress on pretty much anything.
carrying on with that, last year was probably the worst one i've had, as far as I can remember. i've struggled very very badly with motivation for a long time, and unfortunately my mental health issues decided to spontaneously worsen tenfold. i'm recovering, i'm grounding, and i'm just trying to take care of myself like a normal person for once.
finally, (this one ties into the first thing,) i've been trying to do something that i just can't do yet. i don't have much of any experience writing stories, and i think what's been holding me back the most is that i set the bar impossibly high. i'm learning, i'm growing, and i easily forget that.
it's silly of me to promise things i don't know if i can attain, but i know i can promise this: 102 will be done. it will be completed. i just need practice first. i need to improve as a writer. it's unrealistic to start out with my magnum opus, so from here on out, i'll do what i can. small things, simple works, baby steps.
i deeply apologize for the wait, the empty promises, and the disappointment. i strive to improve, if not for strangers on the internet, then for myself.
thank you for waiting, have a wonderful day :3
