I know this isn't much, but I have been neglecting this for way too long. I'm sorry for the way I have been acting on this site. Not that have done anything malicious, but more of the lack of content being published. Also the empty promises I continue to make, despite knowing the chances of fulfilling them would be slim to none.
Writing used to come by so easily for me when I was younger, but with time and increased responsibility, it seems all I can do is make concepts and hope to not forget them. Aside from
DamianVertigo , I haven't told people the whole truth as of why writing even a paragraph is difficult for me.
It mainly has to do with stability. I can manage money well, I have no problem with that. Matter of fact, I found a better paying job. It's rather labor intensive, but it pays my bills and keeps me busy. With this new job also being full time, unfortunately, the days that I'm off, I just want to...
breath. Then I get into my usual routine of cleaning my house, cooking, trying to reconnect with my friends, etc. Writing has honestly become the last thing I think of doing. Not purposely, of course, but with so many things happening in just about all parts of my life, by the time I go to bed the thought of not writing for the day pops into my head. Anxiety and the fear of failure is another reason, but I've gone into detail about that before in my past journals.
But there is a high note. I have been tweaking Alternative for the past couple of months; adding new characters, giving current characters improved personalities and back stories, started working on the setting, and I'm about halfway there with what the plot is going to be. And with all being said, I have decided that I will not be writing out this story. There's so many details I want to present, so a visual novel is best. That's gonna be a while, considering I am not a visual artist and haven't honed my drawing skills since... I forgot how long. This gives me plenty of time to make a script and to improve my drawing skills.
Not to mention that I will be developing an actual novel. I haven't thought of a title and I'm keeping the plot a secret. Just know it's going to be a long process for it to come out and I will do what I can to update.
Thank you
