State of Play June 2023

Okay, just a few things to wrap up just so I don't have that previous journal staring people in the face for too much longer.
1. Sweet Beginnings
I have completed the Sweet Beginnings series, which ended up being so much more of an undertaking than I was expecting. The reason I wanted to explain Syrup's backstory in this way was because I didn't want him to just assign him with a throwaway personality (i.e. himbo, twink, jock, meathead etc.). I envision him as a very different, multi-layered character that needed some explanation. He doesn't see the world the same way everyone else sees it, nor does he think (or "not think") the same way either. He's very impulse-driven, prefering to face the aftermath of his consequences after actions rather than take careful planning. That is except for when it comes to construction at least which he has a real passion for.
You can see all the parts here listed below. If you're interested in the full story, you can check it out in order. Or if you wanna get to the good bit, I won't blame you for skipping to the final chapter.
Part 1: Lighting the Fuse
Part 2: Tip of the Iceberg
Part 3: Hot Under the Collar
Part 3.5: A Matter of Dominance
Part 4: Honey on a High
Part 5-1: The Lightning Struck Tower
Part 5-2: Built to Scale
Part 5-3: A Titanic Turnabout
Part 5-4: The Climax
2. Commissions
I've been toying with the idea of opening commissions again, and I'd like to do that again. Although there are a few loose ends I need to tie up before I get into that. There's stories I've promised friends, stories I've drafted and not finished, stories I've not even started at all, stories I want to write to target a larger audience and so on. I will announce it at a later date on these journals but I'm not in a position to do it just yet.
3. NeosVR and health related issues
Lately I've been engrossing myself in VR with a few friends on Neos, but I am noticing a big decline in my sleeping patterns. I'm going to have to restrict myself to a schedule because going to bed at 4am and then getting up again a few hours later is not good. I do want to hang out with more people on there tho so hit me up on telegram or whatever or find me in the metaspace - I'll be there, just as long as it's not too late in the night from now on lmao.
