The Long Awaited Update + Info on the Current Situation · 3:54pm Mar 16th, 2020
So! Just as I was feeling up to put up a blog, it seems like the world decided to lose its collective shit at the last possible moment. But as for how I'm doing? This'll be a short blog but I'll get the writing stuff out of the way before the important stuff.
I've been doing my usual to keep up the momentum. Sort of lost it these past few weeks but that's also been with some life issues and me also trying to straighten my health out. What with my 24th birthday looming over the horizon, I've been making it the number one goal at the time to get to a healthy weight and maintain it. What with me being genetically prone to Diabetes, it's been my focus to get a hold on my health, as my Dad got it when he turned 24. So. My process, more or less, is just to make sure I don't repeat his mistakes. So writing hasn't been at the forefront of my mind as of late, but I think I've managed to at least get to a weight where I can start returning to my usual writing schedule. I did get some chapters outlined for my filly centered story, so progress, while slow, has been coming along.
As for the important stuff? Well, as I've mentioned (as lighthearted as the beginning was) here in Montana, Missoula County (basically where I live) just got our first Coronavirus cases. Don't worry. I haven't gotten it yet, but long story short, schools K-12 have just been closed state-wide. And for those I've mentioned about my anxiety, I'm doing my best to keep calm. Something I know is in short supply currently, but just to rephrase this for everyone out there reading this. Be aware and alert, but don't let it turn into panic.
Anywho. I'll still be doing what I can in order to keep writing for y'all. In fact, I might end up releasing some stuff in hopes that it'll help be a distraction from reality. You know, what with how the world's reacting and doing what it can to ride this whole issue out. So. Expect me to start publishing some stuff this weekend. I might re-publish the fourth story for The True Nightmare. Even though it's far from finished, I figure if I post what I can to at least instill some calm. And just for everyone's sanity (including my own) this'll probably be the only time I post about COVID-19. We all at least need to have some days without having this virus shoved down our gullets every few seconds.
But! That's all I have to really say. I wish you all healthy futures. And one last thing. I know it's scary out there... it really is. But just don't forget that even if it'll be sometime before it passes, it will pass. Who knows. Maybe a couple years after this we'll all be joking about what happened during this year. But just remember... that this isn't the end. We'll all get through this. So... with that being said, I'm happy to finally get back on this. And I wish you all a good future.
