First the old business: For the fifteenth or so time "I am back and writing and etc." but we'll see. I am writing Masks in another tab right now, but this chapter hasn't really done it for my motivation in the past. Maybe now that I've changed its role in the overarching plot (which I assure you, is a real thing) I'll do it.

So instead of writing Masks or the thirty minute prompts I hammered out a rough outline for the only story idea I had that no one seemed interested in, wrote two chapters of one of the more interesting ones (with an entire cast of characters I have yet to name, so every character is replaced with <Friend from town> and <son> or <protagonist>) and then stared at Masks for about forty minutes before deciding that yes, I am still unhappy with it.

That one's probably not a self-help book either, and if it is, it's not a very good one.

This post is about this past week and why I'm glad it's over.

Cards on the table: That's not a nearby self-help book. It probably is the title of one somewhere though.

This post has more purpose than ones I've made before though. This is here to tell... three? Yeah, probably three specific people what I've decided to write and then anyone else who wants to look.

More confessions:

I've decided that since every time I make one of these I start off with an apology and then move on to empty promises about improving myself pretty soon I'll either have to rebrand myself as a self-help guru and move to California or just switch to Bojack Horseman over a character from Pulp Fiction.

... Come to think of it both of those are Netflix Originals starring Will Arnett... Huh.

You probably should, because if past trends are anything to go by this will keep happening.

I'm gonna try and come back. I want to write, I want to be a part of this community.

I'm gonna give you the short version since anyone who cared enough to click it deserves it:

This is the moral, but I learn from my mistakes.

Until yesterday the most recent episode I had seen was "Slice of Life" (which was f*cking stellar) and as of now I'm caught up.

(This blog mostly written immediately following watching the respective episode)

Hey guys long time no see. I guess this is a little awkward considering the last time I made one of these I said I'd stop doing this.

I'm kind of awful, I think I touched on that a few times here and there. Hopefully a bit in the last one, if I didn't someone tell me and I'll make a separate post about how terrible a person I am.

So I think I'm gonna rebrand. I like the Jules Winnfield account and all, but I think I'd rather have a username I use for more than this so you guys can find me. As long as no one took my old name.

Edit: Son of - they did. And they took the version without spaces. So CheckMate343 it is. The picture was originally a "Jack of all trades" joke on another forum where I first started using it. I'll probably switch it out for something else later. Probably some Mare Do Well

I highly recommend you read this one. It's got some important information and a few lessons I think everyone should hear at least once.

Hi everyone. What's it been? Two-ish months? That's pretty awful, even for me. I'm going to apologize here, as is the norm in my posts. But I'm not going to give you some long-winded, vague, and half-assed excuses in the next part. The time for that is over, that's not me anymore.
