Hello my lovelies!
          	
          	I know, I know. “She disappeared!! AGAIN.” Honestly at this point I don’t even know if I can say I’m back T.T
          	
          	This is the first time I’m talking about this, but essentially what happened after ALGTMR was that … it got into my head. It was the first time ANYTHING I had ever written resonated with people on such a scale, and as much as every single comment warms my heart and makes me giggle and kick my feet — it also terrified me.
          	
          	What if the next thing I write is not good enough? What if that was it? What if I’d always be struggling with the ghost of ALGTMR haunting every single word I write from now on? What if … what if …
          	
          	And I also think, in hindsight, that the worst possible thing I could have done was to START AN ALGTMR SPIN-OFF. Which was of course exactly what I did.
          	
          	I’ve been spending the whole of last year trying to get out of this mental trap (hence the hiatus) and honestly? I’m not sure I’m even out of it yet. I’ve been starting and stopping a bunch of writing with no end in sight. I think it’s necessary to get it out of my system — even as each rewritten rewritten chapter frustrates me.
          	
          	Will I get back to AGGTD? I don’t know. Will I continue writing? Absolutely. Will it be something I’ll finally be satisfied enough to publish? Maybe.
          	
          	All I know is that this fight with me is not over — and I intend to see it through till the end.

@drizzlestarstone The mental block is real—and so is the fear that comes with it. But the way you’ve acknowledged it and shared it openly is an act of real courage.
          	  
          	  I truly hope you reach the level you're aiming for. You've already taken the first and most important step: accepting yourself. That’s powerful—bravo! Keep moving forward toward your goal.
          	  
          	  As for the rest, just like the previous comment said—I’d love to read and know more about Tomichi’s life and what happened to him. You brought those characters to life in such a vivid way for me. In simple words, I’m truly invested in him now. Can’t wait to hear more.

I hope you find joy in your writing, author! Our toughest critics are usually ourselves (hence why i couldnt finish a 5-chapter short i have in mind) but i just want to know what happens to tomiichi. Honestly, i just feel that Tomiichi deserves his own happy ending, no matter how we get there. Whether you have given him justice, is only something you can say.
          	  
          	  On the other hand, you can keep release rough drafts and subject it to the hounds (and angels) on this platform to give feedback! The polished version, maybe leave for when you publish it as paid media ;)

Imagine you worked in a farm that grew apple trees, orange trees, and lemon trees. And everything is fruiting great.
          
          Then your manager comes along and be like “You know what? To approve efficiency we ought to make it so that one tree can bear all three. Farmers, make it work.”
          
          And you’re like, “??? Sir that is actually impossible.”
          
          But your manager says, “Do it or I’ll show you what’s really impossible. Also I want it by this week.”
          
          So now you start every morning with ?que? and wonder if today you’ll make it back home at a reasonable time.
          
          Anyway that’s the story of why I missed last week’s aggtfr update
