OOF. It's been a struggle lately with LIFE. A lot of things happening at once. I'm just trying to find ways to distract myself. But when I look on here or on Radish, I sometimes feel worse because I realize how far behind I really am in my writing. 
          I wanted to be done with The Workplace this spring.
          I wanted other short stories I have in progress to be done last year.
          I wanted to be done with Ghost Flowers by the end of the year. I wanted to get a few copies printed just to give to some family members who were interested in reading it.
          I know I made those deadlines myself. But I'm still disappointed.
          My brain is short-circuiting.

Since my last post, I have changed jobs, focused on my mental health, and suffered sicknesses, injuries, and financial problems. For some reason today was a day that I got myself to sit down and write. I haven't written anything down but little notes here and there of some ideas. But I have read SO MUCH these past few months. A lot of books I read helped me out immensely. 
          I updated The Workplace. I want to focus on finishing this one first (almost done) before I tackle Ghost Flowers again. Ghost Flowers is my baby, and I need to make sure I'm not rushing anything.

2024 has already been wild. My mental health is all over the place. Extra stress at work. No motivation for writing. I have been reading a lot thankfully. And more recent things that have happened to me finally inspired me to write Ghost Flowers. I decided to not put so much pressure on myself with writing. I'm just doing what I can when I can. I'm putting it on here for now, and one day when I'm finished with my 100th draft, I'll finally self-publish Ghost Flowers. So don't be surprised to eventually see this story go through multiple changes until then.

Just updated a new chapter of The Workplace. It's a short, sweet, laid-back chapter. Another one in Gray's POV.

I had the story Back To Strangers featured on Radish, the first few chapters were available for free on here. But after a lot of consideration, I have decided to not take to story any further. I have lost all interest in the story. It will be one less thing for me to stress over. The story will be deleted from both platforms. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello! It's been a while. I haven't been able to write much in the last few months. Life is crazy sometimes. Now the new year has begun, things have calmed down more and I have regained some motivation. I did have some drafts sitting there for some time and decided to publish them today (The Workplace) and (Ghost Flowers).
          Unfortunately, none of my stories are yet completed but I will continue them!
           I'm trying to self-discipline more in 2024!

Hey guys, Ghost Flowers will be on hiatus for now. Everything I have written for it is now published here. I'll go back to updating once I've completed the story. 

I updated The Workplace! You can read it on here or on Radish!
          I also recently updated my story Back To Strangers on Radish! You can read the first few chapters here, but the rest is exclusively on Radish.

I've been feeling under the weather lately. I haven't been able to write much. I'll still be updating Ghost Flowers tomorrow! 
          My toxic trait is thinking of a new idea and believing I can write a story in a day lmao

I don't know about you guys, but I feel incredibly productive after only putting gas in my car, filling a tire with air, and grocery shopping after work. Lol doesn't seem like much, but it's a lot compared to most days.
