@JamieGlen
Well I'm back at it! . . . Maybe! I'm not going to do a strict schedule like before, but I am going to get back into writing and posting both new and old stuff. It's all a little different now since we've been diagnosed with DID, some stories aren't entirely written by me and we're working on how to acknowledge that. Since my last announcement we've posted chapters in two new ones. Let's see if we can finally finish a story or two :')
Thank you for all the votes on Gravity! I hope that means you're enjoying it. I appreciate you giving my work a chance :-)
@JamieGlen Do feel free to let me know when there's a completed one though! I am interested, I just can't retain information for long periods!
So coronavirus has really messed up my writing schedule =.= I'm a teacher, so everything has been overwhelming. If I get updates up, great, but until this is all over my writing schedule is suspended. I'm going to focus on caring for my mental health and any writing I do will be in support of that.
Thanks~
@alphascifi Hey, thanks for the support, it's very appreciated. You're right, heart does have to be involved, and I just wasn't able to do much. I'm still slowly updating, happily. Veeeery slowly! Don't feel shame! A GED is just as valid. I was homeschooled and don't even have that. How'd I get to college? My literary skills were good enough that I got a high ACT score so didn't have to get a GED xD Didn't make it to college until I was 21, though, and took me 7 years to graduate. Everyone's life path is different, and that's ok. :) I loved the educational environment, it was a good school for what I was going into (music!) But it's not the only way to get knowledge or be successful.
@JamieGlen That's so cool! I didn't realize you were a teacher *and* a writer. I actually dropped out of high school, to my own shame, to continue writing more (I'm obsessive). I did wind up getting my GED, though. I wish I just stuck out the extra 7 months, but back then 7 months felt like far too much wasted time. And I'm doing well! I have known for a long time college wasn't in the books for me. I spend a good portion of my day furthering my literary education through websites, books, or courses (sometimes free, sometimes not). Please do focus on your mental health first and foremost, though. There is no need to keep up a schedule when it negatively affects you. Your heart has to be in your writing, and if you're forcing it it's not going to be worth releasing in the first place! So don't feel unproductive by choosing to suspend your release schedule, instead know it was the right, most intuitive decision you could have made.
@ritzeline Hey! Thanks for checking in. I'm . . . hanging in there. I don't think I'll get a new chapter out for New Leaves this month though =.= . . . Kinda struggling with it honestly. How are you holding up?
