Back at the end of April I broke one of my fingers and this week I finally get the pins out!! WOOOO I'm so excited!! It's been such a hassle doing really basic things and I'm ready to have function of my hand back >_<
I've been super antsy wanting to do all kinds of things like writing and drawing and studying so fingers crossed I can ride that wave of excitement to getting back on the proverbial horse here. ❤

Well..uh...I broke a finger so uh...staying down a little longer.... I had to get pins put it. So idk what recovery time is going to look like yet...now all I want to do is write...such is life. Hope you're all still well <3
Not an update of the story but on the author. THE STORY WILL CONTINUE...I just don't know when yet.
Maybe a few of the long time readers might remember I was really struggling to maintain updates last year until I fell completely off the face of the Earth in September. I really got busy with moving, my job, and I had been fighting burn out that whole year. The last two years haven't been fun for anyone and I often have the mindset of "well my life could be worse, I've had more stability etc etc." but it's still been really hard. I live abroad and with travel restrictions and my job I haven't been able to go home to see friends and family for almost 3 years now. In the latter part of last year leading up to my school's winter vacation I really started to feel it, I would have vacation time but no way to use it the way I wanted without risking my employment. Late December through February when I should have been able to recharge I spent it dealing with a revolving door of physical and mental health problems. I wanted to get back into writing during this period but it just was not possible. Now I'm back at work and starting a new school year I have to get back into my groove and focus on that. I feel like most of my problems have settled but they sit in the back of my mind, I'm afraid of them peaking again when I have to work. So while I do intend to finish telling the story, I don't know when I'm mentally going to be able to handle it again or if I'm going to be able to maintain regular updates like I used to.
So with all that said I really really want to thank you all for sticking with me, leaving me in your subscriptions, and all the new people we've still gained along for the ride while I've been MIA and the story has been on indefinite hiatus. WE'RE OVER 700 subs!!!! That's so insane. Thank you all so much for the love and support. 💜💜💜 I'll be back!

Hi everyone~
Sorry for being MIA at the moment.
I've been really stressed lately planning to move and this week is the move.
I'm doing all of it myself, I'm about 1/3 of the way done...not even counting the residual clean up I need to do on my current place and I am already exhausted and sore lol
Hope to get the ball rolling for our boys again next weekend ❤

I guess we're going to on an every other week schedule at the moment...
My stomach has been all over the place this week, today has especially been hell. Hopefully this week will be better and I'll have more time and energy.
Lots of love, thanks y'all for always waiting~ ❤

Today's doodles were a lot of fun, I think the second one on the right turned out much better. Maybe I'm learning! lol

I've been trying a lot of different styles to practice. I don't think I really capture the original artist very well, but it's fun and I'm learning different things as I go along.

Still trying...still not that great Lolol noses, ears, hair....everything needs so much work lol but I’m at least enjoying myself trying to get there.
I like my drawings better when I draw smaller, when I try to do it larger it distorts horribly.

So I've never been very artsy but I've always wanted to draw. After talking with a friend and watching her stream herself drawing yesterday I decided to follow a tutorial and try for myself.
I thought maybe it would dissuade me from ordering a cheap sketchbook and it did not lol I hope maybe if I work really hard sometime in the next year I can make something that I think resembles Xan and Finn. Oh, the dreams to draw your own characters lol
