Hello everyone, quick A/N before we get into this.
XXXXXX
Man, what a week, huh?
Okay….five years.
For those who may not remember, I am a former author on this site by the name of scarcrow. Unfortunately, due to some struggles and hardships over the past half decade, I needed time to take care of myself from a mental standpoint. This does mean I am unable to get into my old account and thus no access to my old stories as I don't remember te login info. :(
I want everyone to know I am fine though, in fact I have never been better. I welcomed a child with my fiance in late 2021, and the three of us are happy and healthy. I just… disappeared for a while in the worst possible way I could've.
For about a year before I did, I was struggling mentally and nothing was working. Therapy, medicine, you name it and I saw it slowly affecting my writing. I was burnt, not from the writing, but from the pure mental exhaustion of keeping myself alive. I found myself dragging to do the one thing in my life that really kept me going at the time. And it hurt feeling every week I wasn't putting the best material out on my page.
I know a lot of it stems from my perfectionist pride getting in the way, and I am sorry if I worried the friends I made on this site by just disappearing for a while.
I'll admit, it might be slow for me to get back into writing. I have this story fairly written out for the most part, I'm expecting a 25-30 chapter story that I will try, again not guarantee, to have uploaded weekly. It is something I am super excited about. It is something I've been working on even before my break and I hope I am able to bring joy into those that read it.
As for my old stories….I am also not opposed to continuing them, or even remastering(?) them if anyone is interested. That may be a project for down the road though as I don't want to get burned out trying to ease myself back into it. Still gotta work out a schedule and everything, but expect a chapter every Tuesday for now.
I'm sorry again for not thinking of the people that were kind to me on this site for disappearing in silence. Thank you for those that have clicked on this story, I promise I won't let any of you down.
