Whoa! New one! Cool!

I don’t mind, but that one is gonna be a whole pile of crap, I thrashed it out in nine days on my breaks from work or before sleep, so it’s probably pretty crazy, I don’t even know if *I* want to proofread it, lol.

Thanks for reading my stuff!!!
I haven't actually been able to write for almost two years now, and it's been really depressing, honestly, which is a vicious cycle. I cranked out the one I just posted in around a week, so it's quality is probably pretty shit, but it was necessary for me to get it out of my head and maybe get my juices flowing to get my old books finished, even if most of you guys gave up on them. Hell, *I* gave up on them.
If you're still here though... thanks.
I’ll try to post more often, if I can. I hope I do, though, this was really good for me, stress-wise.

@Wordsmith-Rain Welcome back! Your stories were some of the best I’ve ever read on this platform, so I’m glad your back after all this time.

You doing good? It’s been a while since you’ve updated any story of yours.

I’m alive, moved to Portland and trying to save up money there to help family out, don’t really have energy to write these days. Hopefully I’ll continue, but it’ll be a while no doubt.

You alright, mate? Last year was pretty crap for too. I'm here if you need to vent.
Wordsmith-Rain
Thanks for the offer, I really do appreciate it. Tbh I’ve started attending a pair of Therapy/DnD groups, so that’s nice once or twice a month, y’know?

Happy New Years!!! Hopefully 2024 treats us all better than its cousins did, and here’s to your luck and happiness!!! (or , if you’re under the drinking age limit.)

@Wordsmith-Rain Hey! Better New Year to you! I'm kinda back but only for a while, sorry to hear about the bad things that have happened to you lately - more or less entire 2023 - but your writing was probably the best thing I was consuming in here so you have my reader's cheer (special returning edition)

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been gone so long, I’m really trying to get my shit together enough to write, but it’s really not as easy as the movies make it out to be.
I’m working again, finally, but I’ve moved to Portland to do so, all the way across the US from Southeastern corner to northwestern corner, to work in another physical labor job, because this worthless AMAB body of mine is really only useful for one thing other than being viciously dysphoric, and that’s heavy labor. Yaaay for unwanted manly muscles!

Oh and of course, in the midst of that, my b-I-l’s dog, (13-y/old St.Bernard, ancient Dino of a puppy, and just as cute as a 6-month old one,) was just put to sleep this week because he developed a balance/seizure thing I don’t understand; my brother-in-law and Sibling, both Veterinarians, but just sorta *slumped* when they said what it was called, and they’re my medical barometers for animals, if that makes any sense, so that itself was already terrifying, but yeah, it was a done deal immediately, apparently, so they told me he was being put to sleep the following day to prevent him from ‘rapidly deteriorating’ which I was assured was way, *way* worse that just being put peacefully to sleep.
Seeing as taking care of that dog was my literal Therapy Session, like all the things that keep me from jumping off a bridge, I’m not doing the best, which I can’t say to my sibling because it sounds super selfish to say ‘hey I’m really sorry your dog died, but it’s mostly because now I’m super depressed and I don’t have a dog to walk because mine is in Florida with my mother, so your dog dying is super inconvenient to my mental health’ because that would be a dick move of epic proportions!
***SO*** that’s been my life for the past three months! Exciting, eh? So action-packed! But enough of my bitching, I started this message as a holiday thing and got severely off-track within, like, the first sentence! Now:
Happy Holidays, everyone! I really hope you all have happy, healthy seasons, and for those who celebrate a holiday this season, whichever it is, I hope you have loving friends and family around you, and that you have as much strength as you need to keep moving forward! I honestly, fervently hope that each one of you has everything you need to thrive this season, and I hope that I can start writing again and provide something, however small, to help, but I wouldn’t hold your breath, considering I work on Christmas and new years both.
