I'm Baaack and I got some stuff to say (tears news included) · 10:05am Dec 4th, 2020
Hey guys, it's been a while, I know. School is super stressful but now, we are wrapping up the semester and I should have everything handed in and done by the 15th, 20th at the latest. After that, I have 2 weeks before my next semester starts. Now, worry not! My new years resolution will be better time management and budgeting! I have really sucked at both lately. School was NOT meant to be done online; especially film school, but, alas, here we are.
Anyone else ready to throw 2020 out a window? I am!
Anyway, a few updates about myself that will explain a lot. First, as I said above, school has been stressful, and my anger and anxiety management I have so tediously built up over the last 12 years came crashing down in August because SOMEONE decided it was a good idea to unpack and actually deal with emotional trauma AND try to figure out more of their identity IN A PANDEMIC. That person is a dumbass. However, good did come of it. Had some nice heart to hearts with a few different friends, I got myself a psychologist which is fantastic cause I have probably need one for years, I finally went to see my doctor who is referring me to a surgeon to remedy non-spinal defect back pain and prescribe me better pain meds (which I had initially refused) so I don't feel like crying after a few hours at work because, you know, intense pain, AND I have started to find a balance between my school/work and social life. Yes, I have a better social life now, during a pandemic, than I did before the pandemic. I'm putting myself out there and making contacts, refining my skills and offering my services.
I've actually started charging people after years of doing some artsy stuff for free (I charge by how long it takes me to do something, about $15 CAD. Drawing takes about 3 hours, digital editing about 3-4, video editing can take up to 8 hours for a short film) It's honestly just nice to know that my skills are up to snuff and good enough to make money off of it, especially editing cause it's kind of my career.
Now for the moment you've all been waiting for! Tears of Sunlight news.
Especially since the pandemic started, a lot of you have been asking me when the next chapter is coming and if I'm going to actually write it again. Well, today, I hit a tipping point when one of you messaged me on twitter about it and that was just that last small push I needed, so thank you. I just spent the last 3 hours organizing my laptop, which was a mess, along with organizing both my main external hard drive and my film hard drive specifically so I could get Tears off google drive and back on my computer because I HATE writing in drive. Now, that said, you will have to wait a hot minute while I write the next chapter a couple times to get my mojo and voice back. I want to say by the end of December there should be a new chapter but I hate making promises that I'm not sure I can keep. So, I'll aim for December but I want you guys to know that if I don't make that deadline, it's coming, I promise you.
Anyway, hope this alleviates any fears and worries. You guys are great and thank you for holding out this long.
See ya on the flip side!
Glad to hear you are doing better now :)
Life has been truly Tartarus this year (I totally get how you feel with school etc, I've only had four days off work since September)
Looking forward to the next chapter (s?) of Tears
Thank you for your stories and remember to continue to look after yourself.

Well it better be plural cause I have litterally only introduced the plot points and can not wrap it up that quickly. I think we're looking at 35 chapters total at the very least.😅😁
Glad to see you back!
