I've really been looking back at my stories. As I stated I'm doing a lot of background work, like making edits to refine the early chapters of some of the popular ones. Something to reclaim my sense of ownership over them.
But jeez, my 16 year old self was really a mess of unrefined creativity. Had lots of ideas but my execution and decisiveness was lacking. Or at least, that's how I see it. I've really made a whole lotta redactions and additions to my overarching Omniverse that makes what used to be seem unrecognisable compared to what is. Frankly I'm surprised that I still see people reading and commenting on those stories in spite of their updates being maybe several months or years ago.
Aaaaanyway, it may (basically) be the end of January, but here's to the start of 2026. Ain't no new year new me bullshit, but I've definitely changed from how I used to be. For the time being, I'm still in the midst of editing Glitch of the Multiverse. The process is definitely slow, but I'm actually having fun with it, so I can't complain too much. That's all from me for now, see you all when I see you.

@Themanofculture Yeah, that feeling of having an amazing idea in your head but being unable to properly bring it to fruition is annoying. It's just a whole cesspit of untapped potential... but, it's good to hear you're having fun with your writing. We can be our biggest critics sometimes, heck, perhaps a majority of the times. So enjoying what we're doing despite being unsatisfied with a result sometimes is good. It's inspiration to keep going, and to keep improving.

@Themanofculture Dude, I feel you. I started writing when I was 16 too, and it really shows in my earlier stuff. I hate rereading any of it, but at least it shows how much I've changed.
