So, my laptop fucking killed itself. I have to go to BestBuy now and see if they can recover the data from my hard drive, because all of my stories were on that laptop. If they can't recover it... well, then I'll simply quit writing...

Hey. It's been a while. I feel the need to ask a question about my commissions.
          
          Am I doing something wrong? Am I not advertising enough? I feel like I have, but I still feel like I'm not doing enough. I know I probably sound like I'm desperate for money... and that's because I honestly am. I've been trying, beating my head against a wall for the whole year, desperately trying to get a new job because I got forced to move and lost my job. I'm really, really trying to get a job, and no matter what I do, it's all rendered moot.
          
          "We're not hiring at the moment." "We're laying off staff right now because of the slow season." "Try again in September." Or, more infuriatingly, I straight up get ghosted and my applications are never so much as reviewed.
          
          I'm really stressed right now because I can't pay off my family's storage unit, and I have so much pressure being put on me, that it's genuinely becoming detrimental. And I'm tired of waking up every day only for life to hit me in the teeth with a crowbar...
          
          I know I'm only a small creator. I know I'm not well-known or popular. I don't care about being small. I'm fine with that. Really. I don't strive for greatness, because I know it'll just end up going poorly. Like everything around me...
          
          All I strive for is to be good enough, but at the end of the day...
          
          Am I good enough? Will I ever be good enough?
          
          What am I doing wrong?

Eighty-five years ago today, four hundred miles of the coast of Brest, France, the German battleship Bismarck makes its final stand against the Royal Navy. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Bismarck's crew fought until the bitter end.
          
          After the battle, Admiral Tovey, who commanded the engagement from his flagship, the battleship HMS King George V, remarked that "The Bismarck had put up a most gallant fight against impossible odds worthy of the old days of the Imperial German Navy, and she went down with her colours flying."

I know I only ever post chapters when I crawl out of the coffin like a corpse working the 9-5, but I am still writing. I want to put out these stories, and I know I take a really long time with them, but I do still work on them. I have a lot of stories in the works, and I want to finish them someday, but with how hectic my life is, it sometimes seems impossible. That being said, I'll say that when I finish some chapters and spruce up some stuff that I feel like needs major improvements, that you'll be likely to see them.
          
          Some upcoming Azur Lane stories that I want to announce are:
          Iron, Ice, and Blood
          Bloom of a Forgotten Sakura
          The Phantoms of the Pacific
          The Lonely Queen
          Seas of Sorrow
          - and definitely more.
          
          Other stories I have are from the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE universe, and I got a few in the works as well:
          Iron Requiem
          The Shadows of Chernobyl
          Jailbird
          Age of Extinction
          Legacy of Suffering
          And some more that I want to be a bit of a surprise.
