I was, but I took yesterday to rest and now I'm feeling much better. Very much had to follow my rule of "don't believe what you think about your life after 9:00 PM."

Found the one you made for me years ago! Glad to see that you’re still at it. (Used to be Ashe Inkrott/Ashelynn Rowan, btw.)

I might try to record some shorts in the future, but Ik things will get busier as the semester goes on. I’m taking today to rest since I pulled a 12-hour day yesterday and didn’t sleep well. If I get bored, I’ll probably write or do art things since my finger is feeling better.

especially since I really wanted to focus on sharing my characters and writing process rather than just giving advice and tips. I'm going to have to experiment with things and see where it takes me.

Part of me wonders if this is a sign to go back to my roots and focus on writing things like blog posts instead. I was able to keep up with that even when I had a full-time schedule in the past and it genuinely takes a lot less effort than making videos, but Idk if anyone will even read them, (2/3)

Finished the second volume of Phantom Tales and I am super interested in whatever plot is going on with the inn owner and the yokai slayer, but so far we only gets bits of the storyline at the end of every volume. I wonder if that’ll change as I get through the series.

Already finished the volume of Black Butler, and OH MY GOD I got chills. I got spoiled on what happens next, but I’m so glad that I have continued to read the series. I can’t wait to see how all of it wraps up. I need to start buying the digital chapters so I don’t have to wait for the full volumes.

I don’t even know why I got the Ashe Inkrott one. I thought I deleted that account.

My short story is still coming out tomorrow (I scheduled it ahead of time and Grams has always been one of my biggest supporters when it comes to my writing), so no worries there, but I may be slow to respond/post while I grieve. It’s hitting me in waves.

Also, I hope you like the story! A lot of my classmates liked the first draft and I think this final version is *much* better than that one was. Wynter and some of my friends want me to write more with these characters and I have a few things outlined and drafted already to write a continuation.

Thank you! I was trying to make a model of the character, but I couldn't get the hair right so I took a pic of the model and drew everything on and under it. 😂 Now I think I have a better idea of how she looks in my mind, but making hair with no ideas is a pain.

It's 4,606 words according to my writing program (which gives it a 23 min reading time estimate) and I have it set to go live at 2:00 PM my time, so 5:00 PM your time, I believe.

This story will be available to read for free on my new website. Follow me there to get a notification when it goes live and also to receive updates about my future projects. If you enjoy fantasy stories and LGBTQ+ characters, you won't be disappointed. (4/4)

Fed up with it all, she escapes to her new home, a cabin she's built in a secluded forest, and must learn to be self-sufficient without the aid of her former life. However, she finds that this experience, and even the forest, change her in ways she didn't expect. (3/4)
