@InkyPlotHoles
I've written over 14k words, and I feel not great about them, but they are there and that is all that matters right now
Chapter Three is up for debate, but I think I've done well enough to move on

@InkyPlotHoles Full transparency, I definitely cried over my writing because I thought it was trash, but at least I wrote something
I sat down and wrote for the first time in months and finally produced something I did not immediately hate. If you are still interested in my descriptive nature and picking my creative brain apart, please feel free to check out my new story, The Owl's Kiss. Any and all comments are welcome as I try to break free of the imposter syndrome that has held me in a chokehold for too long. Thank you for sticking around; I hope to continue growing outside of my dark box in the corner.
@InkyPlotHoles I have a bestie with an imposter syndrome and validating them is tough because they're still going to beat themselves down regardless
I'm thinking about taking a break from Grayscale and writing a new short story. The idea is there, but the words aren't and for the first time in a long while I'm at a loss for how to continue. That's to say I'm not giving up on the story I've poured myself into, but until I decide how to move forward without hating everything I put into it, I will be putting the flame on low while it simmers in my brain. Thank you for those that are still strongly supportive of my hard work, and I apologize to you and I hope I can somehow, sometime make it the finish line that you've been waiting for. Wish me luck, as I attempt to start another project to get the wheels turning. Again, thank you for sticking with me.
That is neat! I’m glad to meet you :)
I'm not the best at promises honestly. I get distracted and bored of what I'm doing. Until, eventually, I dislike what I started. Writing hasn’t been as easy as it used to be. It’s discouraging when you’ve reached a plateau of “great” and nothing sounds good anymore. I have been writing, just not as much as I used to. Then again, it’s progress from the complete blockage of word vomit this past year. I want to apologize to those who have waited but got nothing, and to those who started only to lose interest. To those who have stayed, my utmost respect and sincerity when I say I’m sorry. I am trying, I promise.
It's been such a long time, and I think I'm finally ready to start updating regularly again. Thank you to those who have stayed and waited patiently. Until Grayscale is complete, I'm going to start updating every other week.
Happy reading little shadows!
Reader Analysis:
What are some cliches that you love and can't help but read or what cliches do you hate that turn you off of reading?
@InkyPlotHoles I love teacher and student trope the most. I guess it makes sense since this is what I write too. Also gangs of friends that would do anything for each other, including illegal things.
Alright, so I have got to be honest and say that I haven't written anything in a long time. I have had other things to think about, and writing seemed so bland to me that anything I did manage to create sounded awful to me.
I appreciate the patience you have all shown me, and I want to take the time to personally thank those of you who have stayed and kept posting encouraging comments in Grayscale. It's really helped me feel better about where I am as a writer.
Recently, I have gotten back into the flow and started to piece things together again. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get back to where I was, but I am going to pick up Grayscale once again. I'm not going to drop it, and I have no intention of giving up.
Once again, your comments have truly helped me feel better, and I appreciate every one of you.
Thank you, and happy reading little shadows.
@Shadow_Stone just make or do what feels good too you writting is a fun thing. It's a way to escape the real world.
