Okay, so... this is a bit awkward. I said I was going to try posing a bit more recently, and yet I've only managed to post a couple of stories in the span of almost a year. Yeah, I can't apologize enough for not keeping to that, but in my defense, things have been kinda hectic on my end for the past year. There are a couple reasons why my account has been completely dead in that time, so... here they are.

First of all, I just started attending community college again, and it has kept me REALLY busy. I really enjoy computer programming and I'm really happy that I decided to switch my major to that, but I've had to spend a lot of time basically pouring my focus into that. During my fall semester, I was working 40+ hours a week at my job and taking three classes on top of that, which really didn't leave much time to work on anything else. I only have one semester to go though, so hopefully that won't take up as much time as last year's fall semester did - and hopefully I'll be able to work on stuff more once I've fully graduated and am looking to finally get a job in this industry.

The second reason is that over the past few months, I've kinda been trying to experiment with other stuff that I think might be interesting in addition to writing stories. One of the things I did was make a YouTube account where I wanted to post short little videos summing up some of the games I play. But that ended up getting delayed for a while due to me trying to figure out what I wanted to focus on - so basically being torn between short-form vs long-form videos, making them on single-player games vs the card games that I used to play before giving up on those due to frustration - it's a whole saga, really. I think the biggest obstacle to my progress right now is the fact that I can never figure out what I really want to focus on - I have a tendency to spend more time trying to figure out what it is I want to do than actually doing stuff, which is the single biggest thing eating away at my productivity rn. And that's actually the boat I'm in right now as well - the two YouTube videos I posted haven't done anywhere near as well as I'd hoped they would, which is leaving me feeling stuck once again. Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but I really don't want to put a ton of time and effort into something if nobody is willing to watch it - similarly to the issue with streaming I experienced in the past.

So that leads me to this question: What do you all want to see from me? I definitely want to continue writing TF stories for y'all, and I'm going to continue doing that since you all seem to be enjoying those. I'm also thinking about getting into songwriting as well, possibly working TF into that too - we'll see if that manages to work out. Other than that, though, I'm pretty much open to whatever. Should I continue to make YouTube videos? Should I change their format to make them more accessible? Should I continue to make them about the games I've been playing, or maybe just try to play different types of games (like the digital card games I mentioned earlier?) Or should I just try doing something else entirely? What do you guys think? If you have any ideas, let me know in the comments bellow. Oh, and here's my YouTube channel so that you can get a feel for the kinds of videos I've been making (Only the latest two videos apply here, btw - the rest are just kinda relics from what I was doing with this channel years ago): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv.....yYTL22qsTgb4g. Looking forward to hearing from you all!
