Annnnnnnnnd we are back!!! Baldurs Gate chapters went up today with more coming tomorrow!!!! 
          	
          	Ugh I missed this kind of writing flow! 
          	
          	Life update: I’m somewhat settled in the new place. Husband stole my desk until further notice cause we need to build his. BUT on the bright side I have a whole room to hide in with my PC for gaming now. It’s behind a bookcase and my nerdy brain is so happy. I literally am in there everyday when I have a whole ass house to enjoy. ‍♀️‍♀️  
          	
          	Anyway I’m back so let’s see how we do!

I want to start by saying this clearly, because my brain keeps trying to convince me otherwise: I have not abandoned anything. Not a single story. Not a single universe. They are all still here, alive and breathing and waiting for me just as impatiently as you are.
          
          But moving has done something strange to my head.
          
          It’s the kind of disruption that doesn’t look dramatic from the outside. The boxes are mostly gone. The furniture is in place. Life is good. I love this new chapter. And yet my brain still feels like it’s standing in a doorway, unsure which version of “home” it belongs to. Every time I sit down to write, it’s like my thoughts scatter in twelve directions at once, chasing ghosts of routines that don’t exist anymore.
          
          And now, to add insult to injury, I’ve got a cold. So my body, in its infinite wisdom, has decided this is the perfect moment to hit the brakes and whisper, “You’re done. Rest.”
          
          The problem is, my heart is not done. My imagination is not done. I want to write so badly it aches.
          
          So here’s where everything currently stands:
          
          Currently Posted & Active:
          • Stranger Things  
          • Grey’s Anatomy  
          • Baldur’s Gate  
          • Game of Thrones  
          • Supernatural  
          • Skyrim  
          • Harry Potter  
          
          These worlds are already growing roots behind the scenes. They haven’t met you yet, but they will.
          
          Right now, my creativity isn’t gone. It’s displaced. It’s recovering. It’s recalibrating to new walls, new light, new rhythms. ADHD, illness, and environmental upheaval are a chaotic trio, and unfortunately my brain is the battleground at the moment.
          
          But I am still here. The stories are still here. And they will continue.
          
          Thank you for your patience. Truly. You’re not shouting into an empty void. I’m just finding my way back to the desk.

@StrongerThanILook I absolutely love your stories.  I can’t wait for the rest of your Orbiting Heart series.  I’ll be patient though.  I hope you feel better soon.

Hey my beautiful chaos gremlins 
          
          I just crawled out of a 72-hour packing-and-moving vortex. New house, boxes everywhere, zero concept of time, and approximately negative sleep. Every bone and muscle in my body is screaming like they’ve filed a formal complaint with management. I ache. I burn. I am powered entirely by spite and determination.
          
          I just inhaled Thai food—the first real food I’ve eaten all day—and I swear it hit my bloodstream like a blessing straight from the universe. Glorious. Life-affirming. Possibly saved my soul.
          
          I’m about to collapse into sleep like a Victorian child with the vapors, because if I don’t, my body will simply shut me down itself. But here’s the important part: somewhere in the middle of the chaos, an amazing story clawed its way into my brain. Fully formed vibes. Big emotions. Dangerous potential. It’s been rattling around for days, tapping on the inside of my skull like hey bestie, when are we writing me.
          
          Once I get some real sleep and my bones forgive me, I am diving back into writing with feral enthusiasm. I miss it. I miss you. Thank you for being patient while I played real-life Tetris with my entire existence.
          
          Sleep now. Words soon. Chaos always.

Hey loves 
          
          I wanted to pop in with a quick update so no one worries or thinks I’ve vanished into the void.
          
          I’m in the middle of a move and a lot of real-life reshuffling, which means my stories are going to be on a very minor pause while I get settled and my feet back under me. Add ADHD into the mix and, well… executive dysfunction has been kicking my ass lately. (Rude of it, honestly.)
          
          I’m likely getting back on my meds soon to help my brain behave and let me actually finish the things I’m deeply excited about writing — because the stories are still very much alive in my head, I promise.
          
          This isn’t me disappearing. This is me recharging the batteries, stacking my spoons, and setting myself up to come back clearer, steadier, and ready to do these worlds justice.
          
          Thank you for being patient with me, for sticking around, and for loving these stories as much as I do. Your support means more than I can put into words — and I’ll be back soon, pen in hand. ✨

Do you plan on updating stay with me soon I just got to see hyunjin in bridezilla mode

StrongerThanILook

@losergbgg I do plan to update it though I am not sure when. I need to get moved and my feet back under me. I ALSO NEED TO SEE HIM IN BRIDEZILLA MODE! lol
            
            I have a lot of plans for it. I just hit a little bit of burn out after writing SOOOO MUCH last year. Like a crazy person according to Ao3 I wrote close to 4 million words last year and I feel like it emptied my brain out. 
            
            I will not sit unfinished forever! I promise!

A new year always feels a little strange to me. Not loud or sparkling right away—more like that quiet moment after midnight when the world exhales and everything pauses just long enough to let you take stock.
          
          2025 asked a lot. Some of it I was ready for. Some of it absolutely blindsided me. But I made it through—scuffed up, wiser, still standing—and that feels worth honoring. Growth doesn’t always look graceful. Sometimes it just looks like endurance, and that counts too.
          
          As we step into this new year, I’m not making promises to be perfect or productive every second. I’m choosing intention instead. To write with honesty. To keep showing up even when it’s messy. To protect the things that matter—my creativity, my boundaries, and the quiet joy that lives in telling stories.
          
          If you’re here reading this, thank you for being part of this space. Thank you for reading, for commenting, for lurking, for caring. Stories don’t exist in a vacuum—they breathe because someone else meets them on the page.
          
          Here’s to another year of words, worlds, and finding our footing again and again. We’ll land on our feet. We always do.
          
          Happy New Year.
