*Comes from the depths* · 2:07am Dec 12th, 2022
Weeeeelp, seems like another story of mine hit featured the day it was posted.
Again.
Not sure if that means I have some talent of some sort, or a problem, either way I'll take it!
Hey folks, L-N here. Some rando on the internet who came out of the depths again. To bring more tidings of story!
Err, some at least. I can't promise consistency there was like a 2 year gap between story posts, after all- but I can promise I'm trying, and that a writer is sorta stuck there until the day they die, as much as they try and give it a rest. The energy will come out somehow, it always does.
Funnily enough, the energy to write comes back when I get a new job after a hurricane momentarily caused a stumble in job hunting and a new group of folks to lurk with. Almost like the hierarchy of needs is a thing, or something, huh? Like, you need to fulfil your baser needs before you can do creative stuff... very funny that.
But yes, initially I said I wouldn't do this, but it seems all of the holds have been unbarred, and apparently being able to still write despite all this time made me feel a bit... good.
So- What I brought up in my author's notes of the tagged story, and more in-depth with BaE's author's notes! The latter's having a much different tone than current-
Basically, just, if you'd like to support me, gonna throw the Ko-fi link again. Things are... pretty bad sometimes, and it's why I've been a little overt with it. Some folks have already been extremely generous, getting up to almost 100~ bucks there, which I'm infinitely grateful for. Just like. Truly blown away.
I just wish stripe and paypal didn't hold cash for so long, but what can you do?
Won't dwell on this all too long, I already feel like I've pushed it a bit too much. Specially' since, y'know, people can't confirm this and all, and I'm tryna keep my 'Fimfiction' me separate from my 'current me' if that makes sense?
Though there will be an update, definitely. Likely tied to my next story-or-chapter drops. Which should be soon(tm)-ish.
Whenever the muse strikes, I suppose. But procrastination and art-block are harsh mistresses!
But yes, anyways, on the me front, things are going well. Recently got that whole job thing sorted, earning a few bucks more than I did before, with less overall to do and more respectful/fun staff. In other terms, not hell. Which is wonderful!
Plus sweet benefits in a couple months, and a year-or-two in, free company stonks, not to mention a discounted investment program, and a 401k match. Plus great education grants, for the long-run. Just y'know. Takes some time-investment.
... Haven't even got my first paycheck yet, almost a week away, god help me. It's gonna be for just a few hours at that. Bus tickets above food, wheee...
But life do be that way.
Obviously got a lot of personal things sorted, which is nice.
... But yeah, in effort to keep the online and online-but-not-personal self a bit separate, I won't go too far into details. Already I've strayed a bit on that...
Either way, I'm back into writing. Enjoying the process, and making it a me thing again. Something to unwind and detach myself with. Which feels... nice.
When it becomes too serious, I think, is when you lose the plot. Not that like, the story becomes too serious- god knows I love a good drama- but like when it goes from 'personal' to 'meaning' is when things go too far.
Like, writing is extremely personal to me. But it ain't like that defines my whole life, yeah?
Bruh, I got a job to do, a few people to look out for, a few family issues, a future to prepare for-
Moral of the story is, I may be a writer, but that don't mean the writer is me. That makes no sense, and that's the point. I'm tired, I wrote like 10k words in a night, sue me.
Either way, I'll let the robot sum it up for me:
This would be the part where I show a clip of Wheatley saying 'I'm not dead' after being faceplanted onto a floor, but apparently that specific clip is hard to find on youtube, and I'm too lazy to keep digging for it- YOU HAVE FAILED ME ALGORITHM-
Hope y'all have a nice chrimmas, if I don't write something by then to wish it again- and doubly so with the new year.
Onto another year of pony, and life, and all that!
Focus on yourself first of all, always, and make sure to get yourself as happy a place as you can. It's worth it, trust me. A little effort goes a long way.
Still alive,
L-N
Have a good Christmas as well
I dunno. All of your stories are really good. Anyway, have a good time

Welp, clearly there is only one solution to this:
Ceases to exist.
