March Update, howdy-ho neighbours! · 10:30pm Mar 24th, 2021
Hey you guys!
What's been happening?
I know it's been awhile since I last wrote anything here. Do you want to know something? I honestly, just haven't been feeling it lately. There's actually quite a few reasons for the way I am feeling. But I'll not get too into it, because it's nothing for you guys to worry about.
Firstly, I have another story uploading as I write this. So, while it is short - I still hope you guys enjoy it.
Secondly, I've been pissed off about a few things. Some things on here, other things elsewhere. I've lost my mojo for writing lately, due to IRL situations and other situations that have happened online and really, I just can't bring myself to put in quality work with ease. Usually ideas and writing came to me and I loved writing it and I still do. But lately, it just feels like a battle to bring myself to pen and paper, so to speak.
I don't know if that makes any sense at all. I'm just writing things out here, as they pop into my head. As I said, I'm not going to be bitter and start bitching about stupid, trivial things that'll probably make me seem like an idiot and selfish person. So, I'll leave that there for now. Who knows, maybe I will talk about it another time.
Work has been a shit. I'm currently looking for work elsewhere, something that certainly pays a lot more than barely above minimum wage. It's killing me honestly, but I am holding myself together and trying to remain positive. I'll keep you guys posted on that front.
More importantly, I hope you guys have all been doing well. Let me know what's been going on in the comments, I want to see what you've all been getting up too - for sure. Good and bad. Let's have a pow-wow and talk about our feelings and issues, hehe.
So yeah, let me know what's been up. I'll respond when I can you guys, but yeah, I'm still here and doing my best. I'll try to upload when I can, but, until then - please be patient with me and take care of yourselves. You got all my love!
It's been quite a while, and a surprising amount has happened to me!
First off, I came to the realization that I like anthro.
Second, I reached 500 followers.
Third, I celebrated my 37th birthday. My sister made a cake for me!
Fourth, I finally got a PS4.
Fifth: Celebrated three years of writing, but at the same time decided to take a step back from writing the Continuity series. More info here if you're interested.
Also, I hope things look up for you and I'm sorry you've had a rough go of things!

Damn! Happy birthday for starters! That cake, looks FAN-TAS-TIC! Can I have a slice? It looks SOOOOO good! Yeah, I like anthro too. I need to start writing more of it, honestly. And hey, congrats on the 500 follower mark! You honestly deserve it, keep up the great work buddy! PS4, yeah I still have my PS4 and I still enjoy playing on it.
Hey, I get you regarding the stepping back part. That's kinda how I've been feeling too, just need to distance myself and gather my mojo again. But hey, I'll get there when I'm ready!

Hi there!

Yeah. I realized I was putting too much pressure on myself. I was stressing myself out and trying to force myself to write as though I was on a deadline, even though I knew I wasn't. I needed to remember that this is a hobby, not a job.
I know the feel. Generally I find experimenting with a new genre helps me.

Yes exactly! That was the mindset I got myself into. Started setting goals and deadlines out for myself and it stopped being fun. There's too many things in my life right now, that's happening and taking priority that's making me rant about it. But yes, I agree with you completely!

Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to start doing. Reaching out with different characters and different forms, see what takes and what doesn't.
I feel your pain
