End of the Year Update
2 years ago
Hello everyone! I just wanted to give a quick update on what's been going on and what I have planned for the future. Firstly, it's been a long time since I posed a choose your own adventure story, despite claiming to focus on those in my bio. Fear not, as I am working on one right now, but it'll still be a while. After taking a far-too-long writing break after posting Earning Your Stripes, I began working on an even bigger project. Unfortunately, after several months of work, making very little actual progress, I realized I wasn't as passionate about that project as I once was. Deciding to cut my losses, I tabled it. All work is still saved on my computer in case I ever decide to work on it again, but it may never see the light of day again. I have since sat down and reevaluated the general scope of projects I will actually enjoy working on. In the meantime, I started a much smaller CYOA. It is about halfway done at this point, and, at my current rate of work, I should complete it in about another 2-3 months.
So, what can you all expect from me in the future? Well, I am still passionate about writing my stories as well. I have more story ideas for Luke and Seth from The Start of Something New, including a less overtly smutty story to flesh out their growing relationship. I may also write some one-offs if I get specific scenarios or writing prompts I like. Those will hopefully be shorter than my mainline stories, but I do struggle with keeping things short.
But speaking of short, my short Kinktober stories were a massive success in my eyes! Not only were they a blast to write, but I think they helped improve my writing skills as well, making me stretch my creativity and highlighting some less-desirable writing habits I need to work on. It also helped finally get me a somewhat consistent writing schedule. I used to have an incredibly difficult time forcing myself to sit down and start writing, which still isn't always the easiest, but now I know how to build up some momentum. I definitely plan to write more stories for Kinktober 2024, hopefully with an earlier start and taking suggestions for word prompts.
Kinktober was the first time I ever dabbled in commission work, and it honestly wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be. I think writing for other people will always be a bit nerve-wracking, but I also found it to be pretty rewarding. So, with that said, I think I'm going to open myself up to commissions in the new year! I will likely only accept a single commission at a time so as to not overwhelm myself. Besides working a full-time job, I do want to still give myself enough time to work on my other projects and indulge in my hobbies, after all. If you're interested, please let me know! I'll get details posted sometime in the new year (hopefully early January) and make a more in-depth announcement post dedicated to the subject. If you want to know the kind of content I'd write about, check out my Gallery and Scraps for posted works.
I think that just about wraps it all up! Thank you all for reading this far. It's amazing to be a part of such a wonderful and supportive community, and I can't wait to see what next year brings.
