Hey there, fellow adventurers
First and foremost, let me thank each and every one of you. Not only for your emotional support, but for helping make the kickstarter to help cover the expenses regarding my dad's death a huge success. Thanks to your help, funerary arrangements, fees, and taxes relating to our loss were taken care of.
Last time you heard from me, I was in truly dire straits after my father's tragic passing. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you all, but life has been anything but smooth sailing since then.
To make a long, long story short (not something I'm known for, I know), the last month and a half have been very rough, but I've gotten through with the help of my friends, including all of you. There's been hospital trips, workplace drama, living out of my car for about a week... it has been one crisis to the next most of the time, with little to no chance to rest between panic. Even now I'm dealing with the possibility of needing to find a new job as a result of workplace drama nearly causing a mass walkout, and that's still an ongoing possibility. Every time I think I'm getting a grip, something comes along and yanks the rug out from under me.
I've had to think a lot about my future and where I'm headed in life, as well. Whether I want to try to finish my degree or invest in the millennial dream of owning a home. Wanting to start DIY projects, only to back out upon realizing I need the money in other places. It's been harrowing.
And, unfortunately, my writing has suffered for it. For me, writing stories comes from a place of security, and I've felt everything BUT security since my dad died. There's been Multiverse content in the form of my constant brainstorming and whatnot in the Adventurer's Guild discord server, but I haven't been able to address writing an actual update to that or to any of my stories.
I'm afraid I can't promise more updates any time soon. I've learned the hard way that I can't rush recovering from this, I tried that when I rushed back to work a week after everything happened and I had a complete meltdown. I'm doing this slowly. I'll be back, but... not yet. If you want more content then, like I said, I'm always brainstorming and making up bits and scenarios on the discord server, so if you're desperate for more content that's the place to go.
I'm going to be okay, I'll make certain of it. Thank you for being patient with me, fellow adventurers. I'll see you later.
Happy adventuring,

Take your time, dude
Thanks for the update. what counts is that you are doing better we can wait.
Appreciate the update! Take your time, take care of yourself and get your life sorted out. We can wait.
the world of horse words can wait until you are feeling better. You've been through a lot and even the first thing you announced would be debilitating enough. Take care of yourself. We will wait patiently. If anyone refuses to wait patiently, I will personally sic Turing Test on them.
Turing Test: *Waves*
