It's apparently only been a little over a month since I last posted on here but it's felt... much longer!
But also, gotta be honest: I don't think this is working out. I don't think I'm at the right point with my life, mental health, skill level, or anything to really be trying anything like this? I haven't been this entire time, but after the past several months of getting nothing done but staring at my computer and trying to manifest words onto a google doc once in a blue moon, that fact has fully slapped me in the face. Though really it should've been obvious.
I don't want to say I'm giving up on these projects, but that's... kind of what I'm doing? For now, anyway. Hopefully in the future when I'm in a more well-suited place, I'll come back to these, but for the moment they're banished to the back of my mind lol. I'm really not making this decision lightly: all I've done for these projects in ages is add to their playlists and pinterest boards, and I've hardly ever succeeded in trying to do more. They're fun to think about, but actually working on them escapes me.
And again: Ideally, I'll come back to these at some point! Once I'm in a better spot - healthier, a better writer, all that jazz. It might not be soon, but I'm too attached to these stories & characters, as vague and underdeveloped as they are, to abandon them completely.
This isn't the end of my IF writing career in its entirety, though! I am still working on the fabled collaborative project, and we're making progress. Slowly but surely. I'll be writing an RO and a major antagonist! As well as the minor antagonists surrounding the two of them. Once we have the blog set up and the demo complete, I'll post about it here! Y'all aren't free of me just yet.
That's all! Very sorry to log back on here with bad news and my second "I can't do this right now" announcement in the short six or seven months of this blog's existence, but alas, it must be done. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up - my own included. Starting this blog as early as I did (only about two weeks into developing We Are Not Saved, if I remember correctly) was honestly not the best idea - I was very excited and probably a little bit full of hubris. It was too much, too soon, and it's probably not done much to help me along here. Don't get me wrong: it hasn't been all bad! It's been amazing to know there's so many people interested in what I hope to create, and I appreciate each and every one of you. Hopefully one day I'll be able to achieve what I set out to do here! <3
