Hello all :)
It's been a good year and a half since I've visited this platform and read over my old work. Life has definitely got in the way of so many things, and it's strange to say that I'm not that 15 year old writer with angst fetish that I was when I started here.
Frankly, a lot of things have happened that have changed my life completely, sometimes in ways that haven't always been for the best.
So, in a way, hopefully me coming back here is a means of trying to start again.
- Despite it having the greatest amounts of reads out of all my works here, I've decided to temporarily remove Cosmic for the purposes of rewriting. I feel like parts of it, mostly the character development, was rushed in the thought process because I was so eager to experiment with the new form of story. While I love everything about the dialogue I found reading through the unpublished draft that it was just so romanticised, and after going through an experience very similar, I feel like its an injustice to write it as it is. Suicide isn't a artsy subject. Depression isn't very romantic. And I want to do better. Don't worry :') the dialogue in those first few scenes will still be there in the rewrite mostly because the premise of both these characters is pretty damn accurate to how I see them to be.
I'm not going to give myself a deadline. Freshman uni is no joke and honestly sometimes it's still really hard for me to get up in the mornings and b r e a t h e so for once I'm going to be patient with this. I want to be authentic, genuine, and hopefully, maybe, make those of you feel alone, less alone.
Thank you for waiting.
I'm happy to be back. Thanks for those who waited, hopefully you're still out there.
