For some reason the character portraits and map glitched out and would not display. This is now fixed. Sorry about that.

Hello everyone, it's been a Minute.
          I am presently adjusting to being out of a whirlwind semester and as the dust is settling I've decided to give you all a bit of an update about what I've been up to:
          
          -Heart of Ithll 2 is still very much in development, and likely won't be around for a while, which brings me to my next point:
          
          -To help flesh out book 2, I decided to give book 1 another round of developmental editing and began to think. Around this time last year or so, I decided I wanted to enter Taking Shape into the Wattys. I strove for, and held myself to that goal, although it didn't end up placing. Now, with certain doom looming in seemingly every direction I have decided: F--- it, we ball. I want to Publish. 
          This will be no small feat, but I'm going to start seriously looking into the process and hope to begin querying or some equivalent step by around this time next year. Sadly, that will necessitate unpublishing most, if not all of book 1 from Wattpad, so if you haven't given it a read yet and want to, you'd best get on with that, because the Heart of Ithll's Wattpad days are numbered! (in like, a good way.)
          
          -My other current venture is my blog. More posts are in the works, so if you're interested check it out! And I'm open to suggestions for articles if there's something particular you'd want to see. The link is at the end of my bio.
          
          -This all means I'm not completely sure what my future on this platform is going to look like. I can say that I probably won't be posting regularly again for quite some time (except to maybe update Taking Shape slightly). But I'm not stressing about it, and am by no means idle.
          
          Thank you all for your support over this past year. It's truly meant a lot, and I'll definitely be popping in with some news every now and again.

You’d think that I would be relaxed now that there’s so little school to do.
          But no.
          I kinda just anxiously dissociate into reddit for hours because I forget what it’s like to have free time.

@Xodiac I do that with YouTube videos. I'm finding it's good to try to find something semi-constructive to do after a couple of days of that.

Taking 13 credits this spring with an hour long commute each way really did sound like a good idea at the time….

Sounded like a good idea when I created my schedule back on October 27th…the reality however is not so much fun when I have only 24 hours to read several dense chapters and write an entire report on them XD (and that’s just for one class). The mantra for this semester is  “it be like that sometimes.”

One of the projects that I impulsively began this year is starting a blog. I’m very new to this, but for something generic I have 22 writing prompts up there if anyone feels the need for a creative boost today: ofcloudyminds.com/2022/01/09/22-writing-prompts-for-2022/
