    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.

Behind the scenes update · 10:00pm Nov 29th, 2021

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.

I had a phone call two months ago, by my friend, the one who started the idea of Ocean Blues with me. I was happy of course, we talked for almost two hours, she promised she would call again and we even set a time. She didn't call back and when I called her, the call wouldn't connect, like her number didn't even exist any more. So of course now I'm more worried about her than ever.
On top of that, my grandmother died last month. I hadn't seen her in almost two years because of the virus, and I hadn't even called her in weeks when some family member gave me the news. The funeral was a disaster as well, I had to travel for two days to get there, only to have the family throw shit at me and accuse me of only coming to get some of the money my grandmother left behind. There's a reason I live at the other side of the country.

All this negativity makes me doubt my writing again, and so I hesitate to write and to publish anything that is written already. I hope I get a few more chapters out before the year ends, but I doubt I'll get a major breakthrough in any of my stories.

To everybody who's still reading, thank you for your patience.
To everybody who's commentating, liking or faving any of my stories: Thank you so much! I really brightens up my day a little when I see that little notification.

Okay, that's enough feeling sorry for myself. Hope everybody is coping with this weird year and that you can all enjoy the Christmas season with your loved ones! Hope to hear from you soon!
