Hello everyone,
          	 it is I. 
          	 So I think a lot of you are aware that I haven’t posted since March, and I'm terribly sorry for the sudden absence. I could say a lot about why, but to sum it all up, writing has transformed from something I do for joy to a constant source of negative feelings. Shortly after publishing one shot #15, I wound up reading stories again and it was the most relaxed I've felt in months. I didn’t realize just how much stress and tension was pent up in me. The hiatus that followed wasn't intentional at all, but it was a well-needed break. Multiple times I tried to write again, but the mere thought of it would reawaken the unpleasant feelings I used to experience back when I was still writing and uploading, and I eventually reached the point where I didn't want to log back in to this account. I eventually managed to log in again a month or two ago, but I couldn't stay for too long without spiralling away. Do know that I have read your comments and that I thank you all so much for being so amazing : )
          	 Now keep in mind that you, my dear readers, have been nothing short of absolutely lovely, and I hope you all understand.  I apologize for taking so long to finally get it together enough to deliver this message.
          	
          	Heavy talk aside, this doesn't mean I won't be finishing the remaining requests. I'm hoping I'll have enough gas in the near future (though I’m not sure when exactly that would be) to start writing and uploading again. 
          	 Stay safe  XX

This is a little late but I just wanted to say I completely understand. Don’t do something you’re not comfortable with. Your well-being matters the most! Stay safe and healthy (also Merry Christmas in advance).

So I’ve got another little update regarding the latest one shot. 
          Finally, after weeks of frenzy and stressing over the new story, I have finished writing its first draft (sort of). To sum it all up, what I’ve got to work with to edit is going to be one hell of an exhausting challenge — and I’ve only just begun. Hopefully the end result would be worth all the time I spent fussing over it. 
          
          I’m writing this message because I know it’s unfair to keep you all waiting for something that most likely wouldn’t get finished within this month. It shouldn’t take too long anymore though. In the meantime, I hope everybody finds themselves something else that’s wonderful to read ~

I know it’s going to be more than worth it!

Lately, I seem to have this tendency to frown when I’m writing and I have to keep reminding my face to relax. I’ll be developing premature wrinkles for gosh’s sake. But hey, at least I’m getting some writing done, right?

Although I did read it somewhere that our late-night productivity is actually the energy we needed to refresh our bodies when we sleep. So all in all, it’s an unhealthy affair.

@ellagrangerweasley After studying myself as I wrote for the day, I noticed that I didn’t frown as much as I did last night — when it was pretty much 2:30 AM. So in my case, I frown when writing because my body is begging me to be nice to it? 
            Of course, it doesn’t quite help that I write better so late into the night.

So I’m in the middle of working on the next one shot and my brain is suddenly wanting to write one shots for another beloved fandom. Like, writing for two fandoms? My brain knows fully well about my insufficient productivity so why must it torture me like this???

I just watched every musical number in that musical earlier and I couldn’t stop laughing at Jeff Blim’s facials. That guy is golden! (But so is every other Starkid member, of course!)
          I honestly can’t wait for you to watch all of their works. Keep me updated on your Starkid discoveries, kay?
