    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.

Money problems · 12:20pm Sep 18th, 2016

Well, I'm currently in a bad situation. I am low on money and even stipend doesn't help much. It is 900 rubles per month, which cannot cover anything at all. Transport - no, food and water - no. Not even talking about anything I want to buy!

I found a solution. Patreon, that website that helps artist earn money.

I almost made it but, well, it requires PayPal. And PayPal requires me to be over 18. I have to wait another year to be able to earn something that won't look sad and laughable at the same time.

So... this is my reason for not updating for so long. I was thinking about what I've just written.

Can anyone give me a piece of advice? I really need it.

You from Russia? Since rubles are used there, right?

I myself am from Finland, so i salute in greeting you.:scootangel:


As for the money problem, i'm afraid i can't help with that since i myself am facing similar problems, but they are much more smaller since i don't have as much to worry about the money. Still can't use it too freely what with school going on...:ajsleepy:

I would help if i could but i can't. A fact i curse more at as more time passes...:pinkiesad2::trixieshiftleft:

Yeah, Russia. Bears, balalikas, vodka, nuclear plant in the basement, those stereotypes. They're rather funny to me, honestly. :rainbowlaugh:

Well, many similar problems occur to people, so, I'm not surprised that there are people who want to help but have the same problem.

Solicitation FTW

all i can do say is budget budget budget (economics was a class i actully did well in and budgeting was not that hard)
also one idea is take a page out of those survivas story and look up ways of getting water and make a gardenif you can save money for food and transport note these are ideas i have not true idea how well they work but hey all i can do is make some for of suggestion
