alrighty - finally the big updates! so sorry it took me a while, I wanted to get that new fic out first and I've had some busy days these last few weeks as well, but we're here now so! firstly, I know I say it all the time, but I wanted to thank you guys for being so so patient with me. I appreciate that many of you stuck around despite me not updating with a fic since early this year (it's been so long, I know!).
personal update first - I already told you guys that I got my Masters in English this past month, which was so exciting. I didn't say anything about the next step in my life because I was afraid to jinx it, but I confirmed my acceptance to a PhD program for later this fall! I am so excited now that it's official, and I have been prepping the last few weeks to move. this means a few things - I no longer have to work full time while being in school full time, because 1) I have to quit my jobs since I'll be moving so far and 2) most PhD programs don't want you to work because technically, you'll already be working for the school and won't have time. so...what does this mean for writing on here? it will be an adjustment period for sure. while I won't be as busy without my two jobs, I will be a full time student again and PhD's require much more work than undergrad or masters programs. it will take me some time to figure out a new schedule. however, I think it might be safe to say that I should have more time for writing.
wattpad update: this one's not as exciting, but I will be testing out a posting schedule. I can't make promises - but I've learned this past year that I can stick to a schedule for school, and maybe I can for posting on here. I want to keep up my writing practice, too, so I want to treat this like schoolwork in a way. right now the plan is every other Sunday there will be a new chapter (whether a one shot, continuation of a fic, etc). as the semester starts this probably will be iffy, but we'll see.
that's all for now! more to come soon :)
