*nervously pokes my head through the door after not posting a fic in over a year*
Hey guys. I know it's been a minute, I have been plagued by writer's block and a nice bit of depression since the winter of 2023. But I really miss writing, and I have many wips that I would love to get to. But at the moment those projects feel very overwhelming and kind of daunting.
So I thought this could be a good way to sort of dip my toe back into writing.
I'd like to write some drabbles, so I thought it'd be fun to reblog some dialogue/action prompts and then if y'all would be so kind, you could send in some prompts with a character you'd want that prompt written for.
I apologize for my prolonged absence, I never intended for it to be this long. But I do really miss this, and would like to get back to it. I just need a bit of inspiration.
Here's the list of characters I write for (I have decided to add some):
So, you may have noticed, or maybe you haven't, that's fine too, that I haven't been on here very much, especially when it comes to writing, for the last three or so years. And I want to provide a little bit of clarity on the reasons why and also to talk a bit about my intentions/hopes for the future of this blog. So, that's what this post is for. If you read it, thank you for taking the time to do so and thank you for supporting my writing at any point in the past and (hopefully) in the future.
I'm gonna put it beneath a read more because it got really long.
So, the last time I posted fics on here consistently was over the summer of 2023, into around October. And then I popped back in for a one off fic in March of last year. To be completely honest, my grandfather died in the early spring of 2023. I was in my second to last semester of college, it was unexpected, it kind of turned my world on its head. And then I kind of just shifted my focus to getting through the last two semesters of college, any of the fics that went up from March-August were already written before he died. Hence why they were able to be uploaded in a consistent fashion.
The last three years have been an interesting time of just feeling very stuck in my life, like I haven't been moving forward or growing or changing. Like I've just been stuck as one version of myself, even though I want to be able to be a different version. I graduated college, tried a career path that didn't work out, and have been trying to find enjoyment in the good moments my life has put in front of me.
Then, in an unexpected turn of events, three family members died in the last few months of 2025. One of those people was my grandmother.
So, all of this to say there's been a lot going on these past few years. And, as a result, I haven't been here. I haven't really been able to write at all. And it's not for a lack of time, or even a lack of ideas. I've got like 20 draft fic posts on here, but they don't actually have anything written in them. Because my brain just won't let me. Which has really sucked because writing helps me process my thoughts and feelings. And maybe I'd feel a bit less stuck if writing was something I could've managed to do in these last few years.
But I'm really hoping that's going to change soon. Because this year feels different. I've gotten into new interests, am starting to pursue new hobbies, I've had a lot of stuff to look forward to this year. And I'm really giving being optimistic, within my personal life, a try this year. Which is very unlike me. But I'm hoping it'll all be for the better, and that I'll be able to post on here a little bit this year. Because I really want to, I have a lot of ideas that I'm excited about. Some of them have been collecting dust for the entirety of the last three years. And I think they deserve better than that.
I've watched a lot of new shows and found a lot of new characters to obsess over since we last interacted with each other. And I'm really hoping to share them with you guys in the near future. I'm not making any promises, because then I'll just feel guilty. But I'm feeling very hopeful about it. And that's better than I've felt about my writing in the last few years.
So, if you read all of that, I commend you. Because I really need to learn how to shut up and keep it brief. But I don't see that happening any time soon. Also, this is the most personal I've probably ever gotten on this blog. And I am super nervous about it, because I'm not big on sharing about my personal life. But I wanted to be honest, and I didn't want you guys to think I just disappeared.
Anyways, here's to hopefully at least one fic from me in 2026 (i'd really love if there were more than one and i'm really gonna try this year). And, hopefully, you guys will be willing to stick around a little longer for me. I hope you're well, and I hope you have a really great year.
I know that I do not always respond to the comments and reblogs left on my fics, but I appreciate them more than y’all know. I go back and reread them all the time.
So thank you all for leaving comments. They mean the world, even if it may not always seem like it.
I’ve fallen back down my Grey’s Anatomy rabbit hole (and by that I mean I watched pretty much an entire season today), and I have been reminded full force of how much I love Mark Sloan. For whatever reason I am just so drawn to the lovable jackass character archetype
