It’s been over a year since I’ve made stories revolving around a Stuffy: Woozle Cook Extraordinaire and the madness that she creates. And I know some of you have been wondering if I was going to do more.

Rest assured, that was always the plan, but various things have kept me from enjoying writing more, from IRL projects making me take up smaller stories so I can keep the create juices flowing to my rampant insecurities about how good I actually am.

There is something else though. A while back, sometime after publishing Stuffy’s story, some friends of mine sat me down and we watched a couple films. One of those, to my surprise, being Blood and Honey. The film holds very little space in my mind, it’s a tastelessly boring and cynical as you would expect it to be, buts it clings there because a friend I wasn’t familiar with make a comment along the lines, “Isn’t it kinda like what you do with your fanfictions?”
While I’ve tried to laugh it off, I couldn’t help but feel truth in that, considering the coldhearted manner I imbued Stuffy with. That, coupled with my growing distaste for Disney, has made me hesitant to do WtP stuff.

I assure you, I want to do more with her as she is, and more as well with Ms.Fortune and all her shenanigans. It’s just one of those existential, head-games that just makes me pause.

I realize this may sound like some ridiculous excuse, considering some of the things I have made in the meantime. Maybe it is, but that’s the truth. And I am trying to work through it.

With hope, the power of Super Mario Wonder will have planted the seed necessary for me to enjoy it again.
