Technically, 5 years ago I started writing this book with my friend as a joke; it was just about our 'straight' friends acting gay around each other all the time (really trying to show that they were the true sigma male in that friend group). So, we made fun of them. They did something weird at school? Boom, quick update. The shitpost slowly grew. Content got better and well... weirder. Then it got boring and we left it on the side burner to come back to... I was the only one that did. After a series of cheesy, unsucessful poems I decided to try writing "a full story" (funny that one, isn't it) cause 5 years later and we have less chapters than when we started. Story changed by 180 degrees and there is only one scene that got kept from the original. I struggled a lot with perfectionism. Without help writing it I would spiral into manic episodes of writing non-stop for a week, stopping fo look at the chapter and finding it straight up shit. The first chapter ended up with 13 complete makeovers with me writing it from the ground up back again each time. I went from writing in my native language, to english, to native again, cause whatever I wrote it didn't feel complete, not good enough. Heck, I tried to write the entire thing in german as a joke, cause maybe that would help. It didn't. Over those years my style changed, I grew up and the characters grew up with me and once again I find the entire story not good enough to post. There were characters that got added to move the plot, deleted cause they felt redundant and added again years later cause they left an impression and I couldn't continue without them. Well. See you in 5 years when I get this shit sorted out ✌️
