3 Weeks to Go - Returning to College
a year ago
General
Hello everyone. J.C. Solis here.
In three weeks from today, I will finally be returning to college after a long SIX YEARS of waiting around and getting my mind in order. And those six years have been especially painful for me, filled with the mental agonies that come from mental health issues and family matters that I had to undergo.
It's been a long time coming, and honestly, I'm happy to finally be ready to return back. To be honest, I won't lie in admitting that I'm a little nervous and apprehensive about returning - with the occasional nightmare, psychotic episode, or just inner voices telling me that I'm bound to fail again. But if I were to listen to these voices and thoughts, then I would indeed be setting myself up for failure, which is something I'm doing my best to avoid.
My career path will be, obviously, literature. I'm going to be studying English as my career path, which I intend to use to become a Novelist and a worker in the Copywriting or Technical Writing industry - or perhaps some other job in writing that will suit me best. I believe that my talents will serve me well in these careers, and I hope to succeed in this path where I failed previously when I tried to become a Mechanical Engineer.
To be honest, I still feel a little upset whenever I remember my past when I tried my best despite my growing mental health struggles to become an engineer. But that was another life. JC Solis the Writer is who I am now, and I won't give up on this career path as I did to my old life as an engineering student.
In truth, doing commission work and personal stories and poems has been what has been propelling me forward in this path, teaching me skills as I've slowly been mastering the writing over these many years. I'm not a Master Writer per se; I still have a long way to go before I can even come close to touching the legacy of great writers. But I feel that all the work I've been doing has led to this point, training me to become an even better writer and allowing me to hone my craft even more with time.
That being said, I know the discussion about AI in writing. and if I'm being honest, I am a bit worried that AI might come after my work, but since I use AI spellchecking and grammar software in my own work, namely Grammarly, I'm more inclined to say that AI has been helping me rather than taking my job.
In my opinion, AI affects literature a bit differently than Illustrating and Drawing. There's more to literature than just writing a few words. There's a certain "essence" to writing that AI will struggle to recreate, a "soul" if you will. And since literature involves the reader using their own imagination to create the scenario of the story in their heads, AI might struggle to recreate that imagery in a way that the reader can contend with.
But I will keep an out for AI, as obviously, I don't want to end up without a job. But for now, I'll be writing as though nothing else is happening. I'll keep writing stories and poems, taking on new commissions, and becoming active in the FA literature community for a long while still - writing sexy stories and tasteful smut for you all to enjoy.
I'm writing until I die, and that's a fact.
~ Speaking of commission work, I still want to take on work until I return to school, but currently am a bit booked, so I'll be careful as to how much of a workload I have left. I want to save up enough money to be able to buy textbooks for school, as well as any other amenities that I'll be needing.
If you have a commission from me that's currently pending, I thank you for your patience, and I ask that you all bear with me. I have a lot on my plate, and I want to do a good job finishing the stories that I need to work on.
And if you'd like a commission, please ask me, for I don't know if my schedule will be booked or not. I want to earn as much coin as I can to help with college expenses, so if I feel like I can do your commission, I'll be happy to work on it for you.
Any information regarding my rates and policies can be looked at in my commission submission prompt, so please give it a gander if you have any questions or contact me directly.
But even though I'll be in school, I'll still be active here on FA and my other sites. It might even prove beneficial since I'll be focusing mainly on poetry, fan, and original fiction. This means that "Pokephilia Story" and all my other works will receive a lot more attention since I won't be bogged down by time-consuming commissions. However, I might be bogged down by schoolwork, so we'll see if I truly do have enough time to dedicate to my personal projects.
~ In all honesty, I feel glad to be returning to school. It's been a long time coming, and deep down in my heart, there's a voice that is saying: "JC. You're ready now."
I hope I am ready. I want to carry on into this new chapter of my life, and I hope to share even more stories and poems with you all as I carry on.
Here's hoping that the remainder of 2024 will be a good one. And Here's hoping that the Fall and Spring semesters will be kind to me.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

I don't want to go screwing it up again, so I'm taking things calm.
