Hi moss here again o/
First of all you were absolutely right about taking some time to step back and take a break from Mirrors instead of just definition-of-insanity-ing myself to death abt ch 13, allowing myself to temporarily stop progress on that very quickly made me feel SO much better. Also good lord you were also *extremely* right about the whole "a writer will always itch to write eventually" part cause probably less than 48 hours into my "im just gonna allow myself to not write anything for a few days" resolution I got extremely passionate about a couple janka week fics and started writing them, and I had such a good time doing it that it really brought back that passion that drove me to write in the first place (it was actually kind of comical how quickly the janka brainworms came back, but I guess thats hyperfixation for ya)
The responses from everybody on the post you made were just absolutely mindblowing and it DID in fact make me cry like a little baby. Several times actually. Ironically, gratitude is one of the few emotions I *really* struggle to accurately put into words, its incredibly hard for me to make it sound as genuine as I mean it to, but it meant the fucking world to me to see so many people have such kind words and good advice, I really needed that and I appreciate it more than yall will ever know. Thank you.
For some good news, today I went back into my draft of ch 13 for the first time since that post and turns out its not nearly as bad as I built it up to be in my head. Still can't promise a release date, but I won't have to start from scratch.
So yeah, a huge bone-crushing hug and thank you to everybody who commented on that post and who messaged me privately, I would actually die for yall.
Thank you, for everything.

HEYA MOSS!
I'm so glad taking a break helped. My executive dysfunction usually just gets me to abandon projects and move onto a new fixation when I do, so I was kinda holding my breath there, but with your consistency and quality of writing I figured you'd be back before we knew it
"a writer will always itch to write eventually" is a BAR I came up on the fly but WOW does it ring true. I'm so glad you found that fun back, that's what it's all about. In other news, I'm SO hype for those janka week fics too, oh you have no idea >:) I won't go into my sappy crap again either, you got enough of that in the dms, but I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm glad the comments resonated with you. Feel free to go back to that post any time, let it be your archive the second you have any doubt
Who needs a release date? You just jumped over the last hill, I can see you from the finish line dude. Soul-crushing hug right back at you mootie
