A Humble Proposal · 5:48am Dec 7th, 2021
Hey, everybody! I missed this community. I've kind of felt like an outsider, since I haven't watched the show since the end of Season 4, but I thought I'd check in on my old stomping grounds. Some familiar faces still say hi from time to time, after all.
I don't really know what I have to offer a fanbase that passed me by, but I mostly miss writing things for people. Turns out, it's hard to write long-form stuff when you're used to writing short stories and getting the validation and dopamine high of having people acknowledge that you did things. However, I have learned a few things about writing, and I've done a lot of thinking about it. Boy, do I think a lot about writing technique and writing in general.
So, I had a thought earlier today. I have a lot to learn about writing, and presumably, a number of people on this site are also interested in learning about writing and trying new perspectives and techniques. My humble proposal is that perhaps I could lead a discussion every so often about writing topics, but speaking as more of like a head student than an expert, the way I tend to see resources written. My thoughts probably hold almost no value anymore, now that most people have probably forgotten about me, but if there's an interest in hearing what I have to say about certain aspects of writing, I thought it could be cool to share my thoughts and strategies on a topic, then open the floor to discussion in the comments.
Welp, if anyone is still paying attention to me, uh... thanks! I think that's about it. Happy Holidays, everybody!
Writer! *tight hugs* Missed you!

Been okayish are you on Discord? I miss chatting with you ^^

I haven't been on Discord in a very long time. There are a lot of factors to that, but I just don't really like being on Discord anymore. I like my Discord friends, but I have other ways of contacting everyone I still have on Discord. Plus, only like three people were messaging me on there at all regularly, so I just kinda shifted to messaging those people via Google Hangouts.
I'm on Steam like every day, though! Pretty sure I have you on there.

All the time yeah just send me a message whenever ^^ I really suck at initiating contact >.<

I tend to be awful at keeping up with people, though, because I'm pretty lost in my own head a lot of the time. Sometimes that means that I'm just caught up with twenty other things. Sometimes that means I do remember and I see someone online but I think that I'm probably bothering them because I messaged one time like a month before and they happened to go offline at that moment and that definitely means they went offline because I bothered them so I don't want to impose--
I will try!
*big breath!* Yeah. It just becomes a whole thing for me sometimes.

I'm hanging in there. There's a lot going on, but seeing family at Christmastime will help.
I hope you're looking forward to the holidays!
