hey everyone it's been 7+ years now since I last made an update on here and I thought I'd give one to whoever is still following this account, first of all, I'd like to get the obvious stuff out of the way and that being a lot has happened in these past few years for me personally, such as rediscovering my love for the fantasy genre (as evident with my latest work) as well as figuring out where my political views lie and discovering my own identity as I recently come out as trans to my family and friends, one I do wanna apologize for is not keeping all updated as often as I would like but moving forward I plan to improve upon (hopefully at the start of 2023) and with everything going on with my transitioning and other stuff in my personal life I haven't had time to continue writing (not to mention I'm my worst critic) but I want to change all of that moving forward and hopefully show some form of improvement in my writing but I ain't holding my breath and I don't expect anyone to either, and with this long winded update said and done I wanna thank you all for taking the time to read this update and thank you all for any support you give me, it means more to me than you all realize.
