So, I'm back to working. The winter storm a couple weeks ago had me without power for a week, and I've been slowly settling back in and getting angsty as this college semester approaches.
I suppose I should also admit that I usually only find myself motivated to write when I have some sort of emotion that I want to focus on (usually a negative one). I know I never usually realize this, but it's where my ideas for fiction writing come from. It's an especially helpful tool that helps me feel like I'm communicating with someone. What prevents me from writing a lot is when I can otherwise occupy my time with narrative-based media (e.g. video games, or TV series) and/or talking with friends. Currently I'm out of both-- and not in the funny teenage way but in the way that I'm mentally unstable and constantly cut people out of my life for no good reason-- so I have a bigger urge than usual to actually write something.
GPK isn't something I'm hugely dedicated to, or that I can promise will ever get completed. Especially when I haven't really been a part of this fanbase for a couple years. But I like the idea that someone reads what I write when I'm down like this, because it feels like a part of me is communicating something. Even if it's meaningless to you, or if I don't properly communicate it. I'm not an amazing writer and I know it.
Anyways that's my update for the current time period on whether or not I've disappeared again. Hope you're doing fine this time around.
