Hello everyone! I hope everyone's doing ok as always!
In theme to the previous "Anew", I'm keeping this one short. I've needed to find myself again. This time, I can say I'm getting back into writing! But for real this time; I'm actually writing the first muscle growth story in years for me. It feels great! I'm not sure when it'll be done, but it feels great!
In truth, it's been a long time coming. I've been writing RP's since 2019 and haven't written anything outside of that. In that time I have doubted myself. I was wondering what I was missing. Was there something wrong with me doing all those RPs?
Well, "no but actually yes" is what I've eventually come to. I started writing RP's to learn how to better show muscles, masculinity, and macro or size-related fun in written form. But when I started that and kept to it, that was all I was writing. I never realized I missed my humor, comedy, and just giving all those things a humorous angle. All I was writing was a kink-related indulgence for myself and the RP partner. Compounding this was my insistence on overthinking everything. Short stories aren't possible after all without well, thought out characters. Plus they need worldbuilding for their town. Then for the planet, while you're at it. What about how they grow and change? Does it make sense? Or the plot, what's the plot?
I'm just telling myself to forget all that. I was overthinking myself into thinking I couldn't write. I was RP kink-writing myself away from my wholesome self - what inspired me to write for the fandom - into ever more lustful stuff. Those two things we're keeping me away from writing, and I'm happy to say I'm over them both I think!
I write this in an open, public journal entry so I won't forget it again. Will I still RP and write those things? Probably! But when I do it, I want to do it my way, with the humor and wholesomeness I was inspired by in the fandom from the start. Like with writing again after two years, it feels really good. Really, really good! I know where I want to go again.
I have come back renewed! I have writing ideas anew! And I'm eager to get to it, one writing night at a time.

Thank you for the encouragement, including these comments. These small posts mean so much to me, and the motivation from them as well! I'm eager to get going, and can't wait to see what we can do. :)
Life hasn't been the best, but it certainly hasn't been bad! I'm eager to get back into it at least - both on here and my real life tasks. I'm eager to write, and happy to see others are happy to read what I write. I'll do my best! Thank you so much for the comment it means a lot!
For real though welcome back ^^
Thank you so much for the comment and for welcoming me back! I got excited seeing you comment here; I didn't think I left an impression! I love the stories you've made and some even served as inspiration for stories I want to look at someday.
But for now one story at a time. I only just got back into writing, I don't want to overthink or burden myself out of it lol! Thank you again Buckingham. Really it means a lot to hear from you and the other writers in the fandom.
Good luck bro! ^^
