Hi lovelies🫶🏼 (read to the end for the poll!!)
Firstly, thank you all for sticking around. I know I've been incredibly quiet recently, and whilst there have been the odd posts, I haven't really been here the way I used to be.
I still don't think I have the time or capacity to be as active as I once was on this blog, but I'm not disappearing. Things are just going to look a little different for a while.
As I've mentioned over the past few months, life has been a lot recently.
I've been working over 50 hours a week, whilst also dealing with both my physical and mental health. On top of that, family health issues have meant I've been travelling between countries quite a bit, and alongside everything else, I've also been rebuilding my life after my divorce.
I usually keep my personal life fairly private because I like this blog to be an escape, but I also feel like you all deserve a bit of an explanation for why I've been so absent recently.
It's been a difficult few months, and sometimes real life simply has to come first.
I'm going to use the days I have off over the next couple of weeks to properly sit down and focus on this blog.
That means writing, editing, organising, scheduling and planning ahead so that posting becomes something sustainable again instead of something that constantly stresses me out.
It might mean I'm only active a couple of days each week... or maybe only once every few weeks for a little while. But my goal is that by around mid-August, you'll start seeing a much more consistent posting schedule again.
This weekend and the week after next are being dedicated almost entirely to sorting everything out behind the scenes.
I currently have over 400 posts sitting in my Tumblr drafts, alongside literally thousands of ideas and unfinished drafts waiting for me over on Wattpad.
Once I've had chance to properly sort through everything, organise it all and decide what stays, what gets edited and what gets posted, I'm hoping I'll finally have a realistic posting schedule that actually works long-term.
✨ All masterlists should now be completely up to date.
✨ I'm currently catching up on:
Any posts that have unfortunately been missed recently
Hopefully you'll start seeing these being published throughout the next week.
Despite how quiet things have been, I actually haven't stopped planning.
Kinktober has been in progress since March, and around half of the days have already been edited.
Seasonal specials are all planned out and just waiting to be written, and I'm honestly dying to start another long fic as soon as I can find the time to properly dedicate to one.
So although things have looked quiet from the outside, there's actually been a lot happening behind the scenes.
I see every single message, ask and notification that comes through.
I'm hoping to spend Sunday catching up on replies because I know so many of you have been waiting, and I really appreciate your patience.
Right now, I just need to focus on getting all of these drafts organised so we can finally move this blog forwards again instead of constantly feeling like I'm playing catch-up.
Thank you all so much for sticking with me through everything.
I honestly appreciate every single one of you more than you know. 🤍
i have loads of unfinished fics taking up a lot of space in my drafts, if i finish editing them (but don't complete the story lines) would you like to see them?
yes! post them even though they're not finished
no, i don't want to read incomplete fics
