Hi hi hello HAPPY NEW YEAR! I was gone, here's why: I got hit with exam month (December) in the middle of writing which led to me suffering from 9 shotgun wounds to the cranium that then ultimately crippled my ability to think creatively until it is fully redeveloped. Also yes I took some extra time to grow my prefrontal cortex by spending the holidays with friends and family.
          
          Also in case it wasn't obvious, I REALLY needed that study time, and I'm glad to say I used them well. The tests were fully answerable.
          
          WELCOME TO 2026!
          
          
          
          
          
          
          Wait.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          It's 2026...
          
          
          
          
          
          
          She... this is when she...
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          Oh.

Post-Writing for Chapter 61
          
          SPOILER ALERT PLEASE DONT READ THE REST OF THE POST IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE NEW CHAPTER.
          
          
          
          Sorry! I intended to keep the conversation going until the end but the chapter was getting a little too long and I didn't have the mental fortitude to sit on it for longer than I needed to. SO, I decided to separate it into parts, with Chapter 61 being part 1.
          
          I really hope I didn't overstep with how I wrote Rinko, I genuinely believe she has the potential to be far more layered if I played my cards right for the next chapters. There's something in there I have to draw out, I just have to figure out how to go about it.
          
          I was genuinely all over the place with the direction of the conversation, not gonna lie. I had like a list of things I wanted the scene to achieve, and ticking them all as I go was quite the struggle.
          
          Anyway, I'm going to commit to my other responsibilities first before the next chapter comes around. It won't be too long till then, I hope.
          
          See yall soon!

@HassanNight33 Do not trust yourself when you say "man this idea of mine sure is cool, I'm too lazy to write it down though, but I'm sure I'll remember it later once I have time."
            
            No. No you will not write your idea down. And yes you will forget the idea.
            
            Write down everything you thought of in the spur of the moment as you live out your life. Tell it to someone who can tolerate your ramblings about your stories, that way you have a bunch of backups in case you missed anything.
            
            Empathy towards others is key in making good dialogue and characters, put yourself in the shoes of the people around you and think about how they would react when faced certain challenges.
            
            Also, don't be stuck to any format you might come up with. Be messy and barebones with your notes, focus on quantity, make it fun for you to write down so you also document your emotions when coming up with it on paper. It helps to get you back in the mood when you're organizing everything. Immediately filtering your ideas to sound good or put together can be a slog sometimes.
            
            I hope that helps!
