What up, I'm Sabi, I'm 24, and I never fucking got past my SI phase

Randomly crossed my mind that I said my age on my profile here, so I figured I'd come fix that since it's my birthday and 23's no longer correct, aaaand figured I should probably give an explanation for my lack of updates while I'm here.

Basically: It's hard to motivate myself to write when I'd kinda rather be throwing myself off a cliff (I feel like I should clarify that this isn't a cry for help or pity, just ... the truth). Most of the times that I just up and stopped updating for a while were because of my mental health taking a nosedive, and this past year has just been particularly bad for me, hence the way longer disappearances than when I used to be able to push through after a couple months. I was hoping for a long time that I would just magically get better but it became really clear to me a while back that that wasn't happening and I really needed to do something, so I started seeing my therapist again and am starting back on meds again. I'm still doing pretty shit to be honest. But I'm hopeful at least.

Over the past 6 months since my last update, I wrote some during the days that I was feeling a bit better, but I only managed to get chapter 40 of The Otherworldly Traveler up to about 2500 words. My chapters tend to average about 5k, so it's probably about halfway done. Aiming to ramp things up soon and get it finished. I can't say for certain when it'll be done, but I can say the ending definitely won't take me as long as the first half did, though.

And I'm gonna be straight up honest, I've got no clue when the next chapter of Wandering Spirits will be out. I originally posted not long after BotW2 was announced because I was going to post it then regardless, but once the hype from the announcement chilled I realized ... I kinda don't wanna write a whole ass story following through BotW when I don't know where the world of BotW's story is going anymore. So, it's formally on hiatus until I play BotW2, whenever that will be.

That's about it, really.
