If you still follow me and actively check your journals, hello! It’s been too long.
Life has flown by at ludicrous speeds, and I find myself in a better place than before. I’m comfortable with my gender identity and sexuality… it took a while. My health is on the upswing and I have an active social life. Instead of floating wherever life took me, I have goals to work toward to. One of those goals is to finish some pieces of writing and put them on FA. By the time the end of summer rolls around, I’ll likely have a couple of pieces out and more ready to post.
I might be a perfectionist at heart, but I’ve come across a fun little mantra that’s helped me stay grounded: “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.”
Stay frosty, and I’ll see you soon. ~<3

Last Journal, Until Further Notice
Posted 5 years ago————
Hello all,
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made a journal. Considering my history with writing them, I didn’t want to come off as unhinged this time around. I deleted that last one, I’m not proud of it.
There are many talented artists and creators on FA, and I am not one of them. I mean, I create pieces of media all the time, but I’ve spent almost five years on this account and I have nothing to show for it, just ideas. From embryonic stages of stories to nearly complete works, there are a couple gigabytes of writing stored on my computer and tablet that I couldn’t bring myself to finish or motivate myself to complete and release to the world. Recently it’s been weighing down on me just how scared I am to put myself out there, especially with my creative work. After much thinking, I realized that I might never put a piece of writing on FA.
I’m not making a promise to be more committed to FA. I’ve said it enough times to count on one hand, and I never followed through at any point. Now, I just show up every other day and search the tags I like and leave. There are nearly 70,000 submissions I haven’t gotten seen, and I’m very close to nuking everything and letting it build up again. At this point of time in my life, I can’t see myself doing a 180 and becoming an active writer here.
That’s the gist of it. I’ll lurk around every couple of days and maybe even comment once in a while, but I will not be actively posting. Thank you for reading this journal, and I wish you all the best in this turbulent era.
Much love,
Inkrunner <3

Making An Effort
Posted 6 years ago—————
Hi. It’s been a hot minute.
Things have been on the up and up as of late; better grades, a job I enjoy, new creative ideas, and lots of new avenues I have the opportunity to explore. Since the last journal, I’ve had a better chance to explore who I really am, what I want to do with myself, how I want see and interact with the world, etc. I’m still not quite sure about the first one, but I’ve made fast progress over six months.
In case you’re still hankering to read anything I make, take notice. There’s a seed of an AU setting I wanted to elaborate upon, an it’s quickly becoming a multi-part series. I didn’t think I could churn material out as fast as I have in the past two weeks, yet here I am! When the first chapters are done, proofread, and reformatted, they will be uploaded here. I don’t want to skimp out any longer. Becoming part of a writer’s group has helped me improve and gain confidence in what I write. It’s a massive undergoing, and I’m proud of it, to say the least.
Next on the docket, I want to be more involved in this community than I am now (which is to say, not at all). I have an avatar now, see that? What’s the picture of? Ask me and find out (and prepare to be slightly underwhelmed)!
Also, creating a ‘sona is hard. I’m going through the motions, and dear God am I having a tough time deciding anything. I’ll keep at it.
That’s all I wanted to say for now. Love to all you people out there, and be excellent to each other.

My music-listening habits are weird. I binge an entire artist’s discography for a couple weeks before I move on to the next. My friends have caught onto this, but instead of withholding the aux cord, they still give it to me cause my music slaps.
The music artist I’m binging right now is Kate Bush. I am 95% sure those of you in the UK knew about her and her music by mention of her name alone. The only people I’ve met stateside who know about her are either musicians, eclectic as hell, or only saw Running Up That Hill on MTV in 1985. It’s sad how she never had a solid audience in the US, because her discography is full of quality albums and some amazing, well-produced songs that hold up to the test of time. The Yanks really missed out. Do yourself a favor and give her music a listen.

Update on the status of this account
Posted 7 years ago——-
Hey. It’s been awhile.
The past two years have proven to be personally turbulent. I want to set the record straight. I started this page during a point in my life where I was starting to question my life, my sexuality, my ambitions. I created a persona in my head and on paper that would have fit with what I thought would have fit the kind of writing I was doing: an opposite-sex, older version of what I saw myself as. It wasn’t who I was, and it’s not who I am now. I recently changed my age on my info to where it truly is.
My mental health tanked during this time, too. It took a year of recovery to become stable, and even now, I’m still trying to reach a baseline. My journals reflected that downward spiral in a way that I don’t want to revisit, so I deleted almost all of them. I want to turn a new leaf in that regard.
Then there’s my name. Inkrunner. What I write should spill out onto the page and flow. I haven’t lived up to it. I mean, throughout the past two years, I’ve managed to write a lot. Short stories, screenplays, you name it. But, the things I wrote specifically for FA are in various stages of completion, and at this point, I can’t seem to finish them. The drive that was there before is gone, and I don’t know how I can salvage it. Hopefully, I can find that motivation in the future, but right now, I don’t know where to go.
I’m still trying to work out the kinks in my life. Even now, I’m trying to figure out who I am (in more ways than one). I hope I can push through it all, moving forward. I’ll continue to use FA, but I don’t know to what extent I’ll be active, or if I’ll even post anything.
It would be unfair to not thank the people who fwatched me and read my journals and checked in from time to time. It means a lot more than you might think. Thank you all.
I’ll be back. Maybe.
Inkrunner.

Test Journal, Please Ignore
Posted 8 years agoHi. This is Inkrunner.
Welcome! Have a seat.
This journal's sole purpose is to introduce you to my page. That is all.

Music Recommendations by MeI usually recommend music that I've been listening to recently and putting my picks down here. My tastes are all over the place, so expect some variety.
