SO. I AM ALIVE. WOOP DE DOO.

That being said, I told y'all a while ago that I'd be posting pages and working on Depression (the fic part, not my mental illness) and then I did not do that. Very typical of me. But let me explain why!!!

I'm a junior right now in high school, and this year has been one of the worst in my entire life in terms of workload and stress. For context, I take three AP courses (one of which I'm finally getting tutored for), along with genetics and a three hour long research class. It's brutal, and I even dropped calculus, so that gives you a clear picture of what sort of academic strain I've been going through. I've been juggling projects for months while also cramming for the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. To be honest, I hate all of it, but I'm committed to doing well.

Even so, I often say that I've been writing basically every day. That's true! I wrote 7k today, though that was mostly bc I was getting my hair braided for 11 hours. But obviously my output on here isn't reflecting that, so what gives?

To put it simply, I've been working a lot more on fics for other fandoms. This happened randomly, but in less than 2 months, I wrote over 70k for a now completed romcom fic that blew up. It's both my biggest shame and greatest pride. My other big fanfic for this fandom is one I've been working on nonstop all break, and I finally finished the first arc of it! Yay!

But, since I'm done with all that, I'll be taking a break from those endeavors and focusing on what I really love: my OCs and content relating to them. School's still difficult, and I'm not sure how I haven't burnt out yet, but I'm doing my best! I hope getting back in the EAH zone will be smooth.

So yeah! That's all! Thank you!!!
