Yes. It's been a very trying time for me--anyone, for that matter. With COVID, almost failing out of RN school, gaining 15+ pounds from RN school, always broke (nursing school) being severely depressed for almost 9 months, I really don't know how any of us made it through this shitty year. But that's finally behind me and now it's time to move forward with achieving other goals I've sacrificed for school.
I won't be posting anything until I've passed my licensure exam. I'm planning on taking it mid-January because with Christmas and New Year's right around the corner, I just won't have the proper time to study like I need to. Then after: getting back into the gym, watching tv and anime, reading, and writing my WIPs.
I don't think there's anything changed in my writing style, but I can understand how reading can affect your own style. Hell, it was because of reading Shanan Abe and Laini Taylor that delved into lyrical prose. Those two were biggest style influencers--but I mainly prefer Laini Taylor because she has a vivid imagination when it comes to fantasy ideas--her romances are shit, though, but her world-building is amazing. What I'd give to live in her head.
