    Behind the scenes update

    Hey again.

    Updates on my stories are slowing down again, and I can't help it. Because of the virus, work is turning out more and more stressful and I barely find the time to write and when I do, other stuff pops up that drains all my energy.

    Update

    Hey guys,

    it's been a year since my last blog post and... I'm really bad at this.
    Well, I started uploading again, but as usual that wave of activity only lasts so long before I start doubting myself and start re-writing entire chapters, then re-rewrite and re-re-re-rewrite... you know what I mean.

    Things I can be proud of

    Hey together,

    I've been rather silent again. Mostly that's because of my tendency to work on different stories at once and only get a little bit further each time I pick up one, but that's just how my mind works these days.

    So last night something happened

    Hi everybody,

    like I said I would, I started posting a lot of my stories during the last couple of days.
    Last night, I logged in to read some, and there was my story in the feature box.
    In a time of less than three hours, I've gotten over 60 views and 12 thumps up.

Getting it all out · 7:57pm Dec 24th, 2018

Hello again,

First of all: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you.

I've been very silent for a while now, for different reasons. Most prominently, I've spent a lot of time at different hospitals. I'm home again now, but a thing this complicated is never all gone. Most likely, nothing will ever happen and I'm just being overly dramatic again, like most of the time.

I'm not saying this to fish for sympathy or support, just to give a perspective. I've had a lot of time to think, to read and to write. Right now, I have quite a number of stories that are either finished or at least 10k words long already. Most of them dealing with some stuff that's been on my mind for years now. Those that are not finished, I pick up randomly and continue without getting them done, because that's just how my mind works these days.
I've come to the conclusion, I will never be fully satisfied with everything I write. There will always be flaws and errors I can't work out. But I've also realized that I won't be able to finish every story I started, some because they lead to dead ends, or simply because of time.

That's why, over the next few days, I will post every story that's either finished or has at least a couple of chapters that are complete. I've tried to proofread them all myself, over and over, but fact is that there's a lot of errors I missed.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is: Please bear with me! If there are spelling errors, wrong grammar or stuff like that, feel free to tell me and I'll see to get it fixed.
If you find flaws in my stories or have some ideas for them, I'm still very open and grateful for any kind of suggestion and feeback.

Okay, I think that's enough rambling for the holidays. I hope you all get some wonderful days with your friends and families, and that you'll all get a good start into the new year!
