Still Alive, But Busy

Hey everyone. I thought I'd check in after a long time. I am very surprised to have come back to see people still liking my stories and even following me even after all this time of inactivity! I don't know if I'll ever post more content here on Fimfiction, as I have college starting in a few months. However, given that I could have free time I can attempt to start writing again. But I don't want to get anyone's hope's up that I may post more chapters and finish stories long planned but never completed.

Thus I've gotten rather busy. Preparing for college, Scholarships, making friends offline and online. Some volunteer work over the years. Becoming more politically active while keeping in touch with the fandom and show. But I'd really like to try writing again and see if I can't finish my stories after all these months. I'm not sure if you're able to tell, but my writing may have approved by a minor amount since my last blog post over a year ago. Now that's certainly a very long time of inactivity, yet there are still some of you wanting me to finish stories even now which really surprised me in a pleasant way!

Another thing that warmed my heart was to look at one of my stories, found on my main page that is a one-shot with Princess Luna, is how that story has reached almost 12k views! For a big person like someone on YouTube with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, that doesn't seem like a lot. For me, a guy about to go into college? The fact so many read that one-shot of less than 3,000 words and liked it really gives me that boost of confidence that I can be a good writer and that I should take heart in what I do.

So yeah. Still alive, but busy. For anyone interested, I plan to major in Political Science. That aside, I believe I will attempt to continue my writing here and finish stories such as A Siren's Song. I even got a message asking when I'd post the next chapter and I admit as a writer that warms my heart further but at the same time makes me feel bad that I haven't done anything for the story after so long. There is still a plot-line for it in my mind and the next chapter is heavily unfinished and still requires a lot of writing.

Hopefully, though, I can get back in gears with writing and it'll certainly be a refreshing difference in my life after so long of not writing stories. I also gained some more writing experience from a roleplay site called NationStates which I believe has assisted my writing abilities further. Nevertheless, I would very much like to hear from you all. Does anyone have any recommendations, for example, on a story? Or a way to improve my writing. As for taking story requests, I don't know if I'll be able to do that since I have my own that are still incomplete with more ideas that backlogged months ago and even a request I never did which makes me feel bad, again, as a writer.

I hope everyone is having a good day and a good year. Now I'll just hope life doesn't suddenly swamp me with work!
