Nope, still not dead. I'm only rewriting drafts over and over again because I can't seem to do shit right as much as I used to.
But! One of the things I've working on is opening lines!
Seriously, a good opening line for a story can help you an awful lot. A different start sets you to write a different paragraph than the one you intended, sooo you got a chain reaction from there. The typical 'take a look at things from another pov' but for writing.
Before I say anything, let me just apologize for staying aloof these past months. I've got unanswered PM's and haven't touched Discord since last December. I've just been dealing with personal stuff and felt the need to detach from the internet to do it. I'm not angry at anyone and I'm not quitting anything. In fact, I actually feel pretty refreshed and feel like the break has done wonders for my mental state.

I’m still alive.
So yeah, my last Billboard Breakdown got immensely popular and I didn’t mean to just leave this by the wayside for all that time. I’m going to approach this fresh as if I haven’t been gone for months.
Everything else is coming along nicely.
In the meantime, have a smol silly story.
I just spent the last hour trying to tune out distractions and managed to put out 1,697 words of prose.
It felt really good.
I haven't been focusing lately. Just sort of been letting myself be distracted, not really focusing on anything I didn't have to do.
It feels good to actually get some stuff done.
I'm all the way up to the last scene of this story. It is probably going to end up being about 10,000 words long.
It's been a while since I just randomly powered out a story.

I've been busy - too busy to write my latest story efficiently - and I feel bad for not being able to connect with you guys. So, ask me things! I've at least got the time to answer a few questions every couple of hours. And I promise, this weekend, I'll work on my latest story; it's gonna punch you in the feels.
Anyway, questions! Feel free to ask anything! I have to answer!

Last time I wrote one of these I was all braggy about managing to do a SotA two months in a row. And I was going to do a post for New Year, and . . . aw, what the heck, it’s not too late yet.

Now that school is over I can post this! Listen up, folks; you'll need some floral wire, floral tape, enough flowers, and some wire cutters. Use actual wire cutters don't use scissors like I did.
Well, I’ll start with the bad news first: I had to go to the ER yesterday. For the past two weeks, I have been dealing with what I now know for sure is tonsillitis. I don’t know when (or if) I’ll be able to get them removed, but hopefully it is soon. Even though I was pumped full of five days worth of steroids and painkillers (no seriously, they told me it was that much) I still cannot talk and have a hard time breathing right, especially when I need to wear my mask. At least I’m going to get
Hello everybody, and welcome to the new year!
2020 has been a real shitshow overall, but for me personally, it's been a breath of fresh air. During this year, I found my true self, begun writing, and even made some new friends in the form of Quills and Sofas.
But that begs the question, what next?
