    100 000 words written this year so far

    I decided to calculate how much I've managed to write since 1st of January 2023 until today, 17th of April 2023, and apparently I have written more than 100 000 words. That is a decently-sized novel even if it's currently about 2/3rds of only one of my stories, and I'm not done yet. It honestly feels so good to be back into writing after barely doing anything about it for, what was it, two

    Important Announcement

    Long story short, I have decided to unpublish my earlier stories because I'm not comfortable with them. That's the gist of it.

    Life Update

    It's been a while since one of these.

    To those who wish to know, I'm doing as well as I can be considering, well, everything. Overall, stuff still sucks, but I'm managing. I'm still making discoveries about myself - recently I found out I may have some form of ADHD, which honestly explains so damn much.

    Apple is shit, never buy from them

    EDIT: I managed to fix it, so it appears Apple hasn't yet fucked me over completely. However, considering that iPhones did get locked without the ability to activate them for over a year now (here's the link for context), I won't bank on it not happening to even older devices like mine.

    Now, the old content of this blog post:

    Concerning my Harry Potter fanfics

    In short, I will not be continuing them. They are, as of the time I post this blog post, deleted. Why? Because I don't feel comfortable making Harry Potter content anymore.

    Now for the long explanation.

Writing Announcement - I am resuming posting tomorrow · 6:58pm Jan 1st, 2023

That's right, I'm finally posting again after a very long pause. I've some chapters already written, though I do need to write more to stay consistent, and I am finally establishing a posting schedule. On fimfiction, I will update a story once a week, as I feel like it's a reasonable pace. I don't want to burn myself out like I sometimes did before, and a slower pace generally feels better.

Now, there's the matter of Patreon. It hasn't worked in Russia since March 2022, but I found a solution - Boosty. It is a nice alternative to Patreon even if seeing all those fees sucks. On Boosty - here's the link to my page - I will post twice a week. Of course, after this large period of inactivity from me, I wouldn't blame anyone who'd be skeptical about donating to me, but I will still feel grateful to every single person who helps me monetarily, on a regular basis or just once.

With all that out of the way, the fanfic I will begin with will be Salvation | Rebirth. I feel in a mood to write it, and I've enough chapters written for it that I have a bit of a backlog so that I don't have to worry about suddenly running out. As this year progresses, we'll see how it goes.

Cool, I've been looking forward to more of Salvation. Good to see you back at it.

I hope this new year works out better for you.

I hope so as well. Can't say I'm all right, but I believe I will persevere.

Very happy to see you writing again!

Take whatever pace is most comfortable for you, writing should be something you enjoy doing. Best wishes, and happy new year.

Thank you! And I do enjoy writing, I've just not been really up to it for a long while, and it took some time to build it all back up enough for me to be confident to start posting again. There were plenty starts and stops, but I think I will write consistently now.
