After a long period of reflecting, I've decided to retire the characters of Sidee and Leo.
They were made during a tumultuous period in my life and whenever I found myself in a rough spot I would come back to them to cope.
Though they've brought me a lot of comfort, in the end they're a reflection of a struggle that's been over for a long time.
Since October of last year I've been in a creative rut due to the lack of satisfaction with my life and because I thought I had to focus on Sidee's story. Yet trying to make a story about Sidee has been a nightmare, but that's more because of me than any situation I've been in. I would start with one type of story (a haunted house, an anthology, her backstory, etc.) until, without me even realizing, it I had completely veered off track and was starting another. (Or writing about details that didn't matter.)
Now despite all this, I still have one more piece I would like to do with Sidee based off of my disappointment and anger towards someone I thought was my friend. Or really anyone worth associating with. It'll be here soon.
