( I would like to say how very sorry I am for the complete lack of updates the past few months. There has been an issue troubling me aside from my utter business at school. On that note I am about to graduate and have been working on too many films and other video products to count, it's rare I get free time and most of the time when I do I need it to blow of steam. But that is not why I am writing this right now. In the last year I have had two bad experiences that have caused issues with my writing, one less so than the other. I am going to try and get back to writing as soon as possible, I have been writing for school as well as with my boyfriend as a way to keep my skills progressing.
The issue I would like to address concerns my Puzzle of Three Pieces story, though this issue has filtered into all my other work. I don't know how to flower over this so I will just be blunt. I recently got out of a heavily mentally and emotionally abusive friend/roomate relationship, with a person who had a tie to this story. I'm still recovering from it, after a very rough two years of our relationship progressively getting worse. I now have new triggers and mental instabilities that I had not previously dealt with. My anxiety is worse, my depression gets bad, I don't split near as much but I still do at times and it's very self-harmful. I would be in a better place had it not been that after now almost a full year of our separation, in December it resurfaced after months of silence. I am being attacked on social media, being called out by name and face, and it has even gone to the lengths to have my personal property deleted. My deviantart was deleted, and with it the bios for many of my characters including Josie, Charlie, Arya, Paxton, etc. I have recovered them, but the issue still stands.
This situation has made it hard to come back to writing, Charlie is easier to write because she had no ties to this person and she is honestly closer to me as a person. Still, it's hard to write, especially Josie. My fingers freeze and I feel ill sometimes when I try, but I am trying. Another relationship break caused issues in my Homestuck and South Park stories, that one was less terrible but still emotionally traumatizing. I am going to re-ignite my love by watching the films and returning to reading the books/comic. Hopefully another year will not go by silently. I have been making films(and Homestuck skits) because that is my first form of expression if you are interested, and I do have some poetry and the beginning to a novel for a class as well if you want something in the mean time.
Thank you so much for understanding, I'm really sorry.)
