Update: Where have I been?
3 years ago
Hi all,
It has now been almost four months since I posted my last story so it does seem like I have vanished off the face of the earth here. But rest assured I am still alive and working on stories (albeit slow). Something that I want to stress is that A Week Off took me several months to write. Not only because it was in multiple parts but because writing is a slow process for me. I started it because I would spend my evenings alone and bored out of my mind. I lived with several people at the time who didn't know who I was. Writing was my escapism, my way of expanding myself internally while I couldn't do it externally. Over about half a year I tried some things, scrapped a bunch of works that didn't end up turning out the way I like, and by the end with some online support got to the final product which I shared earlier this year. But after that things changed for me. To my surprise my life suddenly turned for the better. My evenings became occupied with studying for school subjects that intrigued rather than bored me. Others I would hang out with new friends I found. And recently I acquired my own place to live. It's quite indescribably amazing coming out of a difficult spot of life like this as a gay man, let alone a furry and a kinkster.
My evenings are still busy as such, but I am glad they are contesting the time I have to write rather than prohibiting them. And when I do write I am still painfully slow (just wrote a whole paragraph over the course of an hour, woooo) but I still do it because I love it! I love the characters I have created and I have no intention of letting the dust settle on them. In addition I am still hard at work on Hostile Takeover which I am doing for a friend and have several other friends I have plans with as well. I hope I can share these pieces soon but I hope you can also forgive me for life sweeping off my feet like this. I'll still be around periodically to check my inbox and whatnot so hopefully if someone messages me I'll see it as well. In the meantime, thanks for everyone staying with me.
