I’m back!

Dear Diary,

To write that it’s good to be back is a massive understatement. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been on a weeklong vacation from not only work and writing but social media as well. And it was lovely. I watched a ton of anime, read both manga and novels until my eyes bled, and spent some much-needed quality time with everyone important in my life.

It was refreshing, enlightening, and invigorating.

And a lot of fun.

I did a lot of introspection during this time as well. Mostly about being an author, what it means to me, and how I can improve myself on every end of the spectrum. I came up with a lot of interesting ideas that I filed away to process after my vacation ended, so don’t be surprised if you see some major changes in the way I handle things in the next few weeks. Like more frequent Diary entries, for example. And a ton of Patreon content. My author task list looks insane right now, but that’s a good thing. The day it’s complete will be the day I start seriously questioning my title of author.

There is so much more I want to write about right now (things like recent romantic entanglements, my fight with addiction, and my current relationship status), but my goal is to put out more focused, quality entries. I’ll go into detail about all of those things I listed in future posts (and much more), don’t worry, but for now: I’ll see you all soon.

And thank you for reading.

I missed you guys so motherfucking much…

They all have their own challenges, though.”
