Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it?
Well, I had hoped to get a proper chapter out and give you an update, but evidently, that's been taking longer than I wanted, both because of motivation issues and for the reasons I'm about to explain.
If you read my other fic, you know what happened to me last year. For those that don't, I'll elaborate.
We'll start off with something lighter. I was finally diagnosed with autism. It might not sound like much, but this was a pretty late diagnosis so coming to terms with that has been... it's been something. It's not something I can outright explain; I know it's nothing to be ashamed of and there's nothing "wrong" with me, yet I find myself thinking I'm brain damaged somehow, despite not thinking the same when it comes to others. If I had to guess, it's because I view myself through a bit of a clouded lens thanks to my myriad of self-image issues.
But more importantly, I spent a good chunk of last year caring for a family member. Unfortunately, she had become terminally ill from uterine cancer, so between caring for her and dealing with the aftermath, writing has been... challenging. Even now, it's still difficult because it's led to a lot of life changes and additional responsibilities for me.
I thought it right only to tell you what's been taking me so long. I do hope that when the chapter comes out (whenever that is), it proves to have been worth the wait.
Good day, and take care.
