Hi everyone I'm back!
I know I've been inactive for a few months (4 months to be exact- oops) but, hopefully, I'll be able to able to update soon. I've been checking in now and then, but I've avoided saying anything or posting this message because I didn't want to get hopes up and I wasn't ready to start updating again.
For anybody curious as to what I've been up to these last few months:
I actually run my own face painting business, dressing up and painting at fairs and birthday parties- meaning my weekends are never free. I'm now branching out into body painting as well (skin wars anyone?)
I'm studying special effects makeup and now offer that in my business as well. Since November I've completed 5 major assessments, and the paperwork has not stopped coming.
I worked on a short film, doing the makeup and SFX.
I've celebrated 5 family members birthdays since I last checked in, complete with over-the-top themes and handmade decor by yours truly.
So, writing has been on the back burner. Well, actually, not even on a burner. I haven't written in months. I hate it. I've completely lost the flow of my stories. Especially Beasts of Steel and Bone. I have copious notes, and the ending is actually completed but I feel so disconnected from my story. I look at the words and I don't feel as if I can finish it because I just don't know it anymore.
That isn't to say I'm giving up on it.
I'm trying.
Just, bare with me as I navigate adult life of work and study and how my writing fits into that.
Thank you to everyone who has voted, left me messages and supported my work. I'm working my way through my notifications and I'll try to get back to you all, but if I don't thank you all so much <3
That's enough rambling for now, I think.
Hopefully, the next notification from me will be an update.
