It has been a while. In a writing mood so I'm working on the story. I have a lot of story ideas. It's just a matter of prioritizing it.

*waves* Wow, it's been 7 months since I last posted anything here. I haven't written in a long time, and I had been debating deleting my Wattpad for a while. But I logged in and saw that some of my favorite writers were back, and it sparked something in me. 
          
          I've unlisted a lot of my writing, but there are two older pieces that I always felt a pull towards, Within the Asylum Walls: Freedom Wakes and King of Locusts. The former was the first book of an intended trilogy, and Zune, Alexander, and Grace still live in my mind. I feel like I want to keep the themes of the story but completely rewrite it. I also feel like King of Locusts has potential and that I want to flesh it out more. I also still want to write the fae story. 
          
          I may do multiple projects at once. I feel like I should have done that in the first place instead of forcing myself to complete one story at a time.

You may have noticed that I only have 2 stories on my public profile. To make a long story short, the majority of what I've written in the past no longer resonates with me. It's not a "I'm getting older" thing, but that I genuinely don't like those pieces anymore. I've kept my Winter Haiku collection up because I really like it. Although King of Locusts isn't quite my favorite, I spent 2.5 years writing it and so I figure I should at least keep it up for a bit. 
          
          As for my future writing endeavors, I'm thinking of editing a short story that I wrote some time back and sharing it here. I'm also ready to head back to brainstorm on the fae story that I've had in my mind for a while. I don't want to set exact dates because that may lead to disappointing you as well as myself, but hopefully I'll have something for you all soon. ♥

Happy belated new year! 
          
          Looks like I'm finally back to writing after a bit of a hiatus. I finally know how that short story I've been working on is going to end, so I'm writing that over the next few days until the first draft is completed. 
          
          Also, I've decided to unpublish You're Insufferable and its sequel from Wattpad. I wrote those novellas nearly 10 years ago, and my writing style as well as the contents of my writing have rightfully changed over time. The only thing that really held me back from unpublishing them was that those are some of my most-read stories, but at the same time, I don't want those to be the stories that represent me as a writer. Apologies to anyone that enjoyed those stories.

Popping in with a writing/life update. The past few weeks have been hectic as I started a new job. This one looks like it's long term, which is helpful for my overall health and ability to commit to writing. I'm bouncing between finishing the first draft of the short story I'm working on and editing a draft of a JP-EN translation. Hoping to have finished the short story by the end of the month. 
          
          Also in writing news, I'm giving Frostwriter a try! I found out about it from a blog post and it's a writing software that creates an atmospheric through backgrounds, music, and ambient noise. If I like it, I think I'll use it for writing first drafts. I'll probably share more about the experience on my tumblr.

Hey everyone, 
          
          I just uploaded the final bonus chapter of King of Locusts!

          I honestly forgot to upload it, hence the 10 day delay. The story is officially complete, for anyone who was waiting for the book to be finished before reading. 
          
          As for my next project, it's a fantasy short story that I'm posting as a standalone piece, and I hope to have it ready to share in the coming weeks.
