Minor update (AKA, why I'm so inactive) · 11:22pm Apr 11th, 2014
I don't know how many of the people that actually follow me will be reading this one, but for whom it may interest, if you're waiting for an update on that clopfic you're following me because of you're gonna have to wait. Now, this may not come as any surprise to anyone, seeing as my last update was several months after I said it would me, but I still feel I owe it to those who may wonder, why I'm so slow.
Basically, being that I'm currently unemployed and living in a small town in sweden where I have all of one friend (as in, a person I see on a somewhat regular basis), I get very lonely. Now, you might think this would spur creativity, being mostly alone in a big house all day, able to write from dusk til dawn, but in the case of this guy, it doesn't. Instead it brings about depression, which in turn, gets me worked up over every little thing, which doesn't do wonders for my creativity.
So how does this affect the clopfic? Well, one thing that constantly comes back to nag at me is the fact that I'm a virgin still. (Also, I'm going of on a little rant here, so skip to the end in case you think this isn't important. Now, if you are one of those who says "What kind of problem is that? That's no big deal, get over it you pansy, etc. etc.", allow me to inform you that living in a society where everything's so heavily sexualised, and you can't walk two feet without stumbling over something related to sex, being one who isn't getting any becomes a problem really fast. At least it does for me. This, in combination with sponatenous fits of depression and anger, makes for a rather nasty cocktail of emotions that prevent me from getting much work done. And this happens every single day, so it really cuts into my work, leaving me mindlessly rummaging around the internet or playing "Dark Souls 2")
Now, if you read that entire paragraph, it'll come as no suprise why things take time. If you didn't read it, then this next part will seem strange to you, so go read it. This whole scenario in turn affects the story I'm currently working on. Since "Unprofessional" is a romance story, and romance is something I see very little of in my life, it becomes hard for me to justify writing about stuff that mostly just makes me upset. Having a story where I basically live out some weird version of my own personal dream-life, isn't doing wonders for my well-being, and thus it takes way too long for me to get anything done.
Also, I'm very easily distracted, so a lot of time where I should be writing or making art, I just sit around and do nothing.
So yeah, if anyone was wondering why I'm slower than a snail on salt, this is my half-hearted excuse for it. Hope it cleared something up, and if it didn't, just know that I'm not giving back the time it took you to read this one.
Cheers.
