Hey y'all!

I figured I should give you guys a big update on some of my personal life since it seems like I've fallen off the face of the earth, aside from a few commissions here and there. Everything has been going rather well for me, thankfully, but it has been stressful, haha.

Earlier this year, I made one of the biggest decisions of my life (so far!) and made the giant trek from living in Ohio with my family to living with some good friends of Verro and I's down in central Florida. I've never lived away from my family before, so it was already a big step for me, and now I'm working on building a life of my own! That being said, it's definitely taken a toll on my creativity and, generally, the time I have to spend online. I'm much more socially active than before, which is good and bad for my introverted self.

I struggled at first to find a job, and then the job I did find was only temporary as they didn't offer me enough hours/wage to support myself, so the last few months have been a struggle in finding something that works for me. Now that I found a full-time job with good benefits and pay, it's a very physically-demanding job with a schedule ill-suited for my "night-owl" standards, but I think it's a good change for me overall!

Just recently, I finally caught the coronavirus, after working retail ever since it began, haha. Having a few health issues of my own could have complicated the virus, but thankfully all I had to deal with was an annoying cold for like a week. The worst part was losing my sense of taste and smell, but as I write this now, I've already gotten most of it back. I've had the last two weeks off of work and I go back to the grindstone tomorrow, so it was a well-needed rest, but I unfortunately wasn't nearly as productive as I wanted to be lol.

I am still struggling to finish the third chapter of "First Date" with Irelia and Michael, and there is another commission that I've been meaning to finish for far too long. I feel awful for not having completed those by now, and I feel like my motivation for writing has taken a huge blow. Heck, I've been struggling with writing since my previous job in Ohio, since that took a lot out of me mentally and physically too. Maybe I'm just not cut out for labor-intensive jobs, haha. While I wish I could promise something in the near future, I am unfortunately incapable of predicting my poor motivation. It used to come and go, but now it seems to have abandoned me fully. :/

Thanks to all of you for your patience as well as the continued support on my stories. :) See you around!
