Where have I been? · 6:50pm Mar 28th, 2017
Welp, everyone. I'm sure a lot of you have been wondering where I am, am I okay, how am I doing, etc etc. The answer?
Not... really good. Things have been really hitting the fan for me a lot lately and taking up much of my free time. I've gone from writing 2-4k words a day, to only writing maybe 10k words this entire year. I've come dreadfully close to being over drawn and unable to pay rent multiple times and it's only thanks to my sister that I've managed to survive. I've been struggling and searching for some way to put my IT degree to good use, but haven't been able to get the smallest job and the future has been looking rather bleak for me at times.
Now, onto the good things. I'm stabilizing(again, thanks to the help of family, not through any power of my own), but it does mean loans from them that I need to pay back. If I'm unable to get a job in IT, I may be going back to school for a medical assisting degree. I've now gone female full time and have once again started losing weight(I lost about 90 lbs once, if I can lose 90 more I'll be at my ideal weight). I've started socializing more often. I've also begun to study coding in my free time(Unity for the moment, still working through the tutorials but it looks fun). I'm using every resource I can to find jobs, including multiple employment agencies. I've also been trying to become a more positive person and, in general, I have been a happier, if highly stressed, person.
Unfortunately, my writing has been the main casualty in all this. My boss no longer allows me to write at work and most of my free time is now spent job hunting/brushing up my skills to up my chances of finding an employer. My energies for such things are just non-existent for the time being. I will try to get back to writing again as soon as I can, but until things get better it doesn't look like that will be happening so it may be a while.
But no, i haven't forgotten you guys. I still have the next avatar book to write(which actually WAS half finished before the fan was hit with stuff, but I won't be posting it because I do not want to leave the book stopped like that. Especially considering how big some of the stuff that happens is). Twilight Glow is not being abandoned either. No spell for that is actually nearing completion so I'll hopefully get a chance to actually finish it. All in all, I'm hopeful to get a new job, stabilize my floundering financial situation and then get back to writing. Until then, please continue to be patient and bear with me.
Hmm, what can I type that has not been typed before in the history of attempts to encourage and support someone across the Internets? Something... Inspiring, caring, warm, cuddly, and filled with the glittery destruction via Pinkie Pie Party Cannon.
