Long time no jack shit from my end.
Sorry about that.
Work on new stuff is going slow, not gonna lie. Been having real tough writer's block (Maybe something else, too, since I misspelled "tough" three times now, including in this explanation). The thing that pisses me off, though, is the fact that I've already plotted out what I want to do and where I want to go with the chapter, but I just can't force myself to write it. This is garbage.
On the bright side, I started therapy recently. We've barely got through the preliminary questions and paperwork, but from what little we have worked so far, he's already helping me by at least being someone I can talk to. He's tentatively diagnosed me with "Adjustment Anxiety with Depression", which helps me sort of work through what I'm dealing with. And it makes a lot of sense! To keep it short, I'll just say that in the span of a year, the house I've lived my whole life in was drastically renovated for the first time, one of my best friends died of cancer and our friend group sort of drifted apart, my siblings moved out, I moved to a new room, I've switched from "that guy we've known for years" to "the new guy" in pretty much all social circles of mine, and several other things. I don't deal well with change so that all combined has had a much more profound effect on myself than I initially thought. But things are looking good, I think. We'll see where this goes.
Oh! And on a much brighter note to end on, I've commissioned some cover art for Textbook Soldier! I'll be posting the results here soon when the artist sends it over. I've seen the sketches, and I'm really excited to see the finished product.
Alright, I've ranted enough. See you all around.
