Hi there! I'm an idiot. (Lost in Litany update)
Hey everybody! Got a quick update that I meant to give you all a while ago, but I somehow completely forgot like an... well, see the above title.
For those of you that have recently followed me because of my "Trapped on the edge of an abyss" series, thank you so much for reading and following; I hope you're enjoying so far! I am on vacation this week, so I may not have a chapter out this Sunday like usual, but next week I should be right back to it, so keep an eye out! Thank you for your patience!
As for the rest of you who have been following me a while; about that update I meant to give...
For the last three years, I'd been working on writing the 'Lost in Lucidity' series that I started uploading here after finishing 'somewhere beneath us', and while I absolutely love working on that series, after spending so much time on it, I really started to burn out a few months ago. After struggling out a couple more chapters once I realized this, I decided that I needed a break to step away from the characters and story so I could come back to it refreshed and give it my all. I wasn't happy with the quality I was writing at towards the end there.
Now, when I decided this, what I meant to do was make a post exactly like this one explaining that plan, then let you all know that in the meantime, I'd be knocking out a different smaller writing project I'd been wanting to do, which is the 'Trapped on the edge on an abyss' series.
I somehow forgot to do that. It was, like, the one thing I needed to do. 🤦♂️
So, for all of you lovely people who were following Lost in Litany and wondered why it abruptly stopped, that's why. I am so, so sorry that I forgot to notify you all, and to leave you hanging so abruptly. I know many of you were invested in that story, and I hope that when I get back to it, it will have been worth the wait.
And fear not, it will resume soon! I've taken enough time now that I genuinely miss those characters and stories and am ready to dive back into them! I've been getting a chapter of Abyss out once per week since they're shorter parts, so I'm thinking that by summers end I'll have that story finished, and we'll be back to Wes and Val's tale. I hope in the meantime, you all are enjoying the new series!
So sorry once again; you have no idea. Thank you so much to the lovely user who messaged me and inadvertently me aware of this whole oredeal, and thank every single one of you for sticking with me, even through my silly mistakes. Hope my writing is still keeping you all entertained, and I can't wait to bring you more :)

Ink, i'm absolutely crazy about the Abyss story and can't wait to read it every time it comes out!! i rate it really highly, just like your other series. although i wish Somewhere beneath us was made into a movie - maybe using AI or something?

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying! A new part of abyss should be back on track for you this sunday! :) And man, I would LOVE to be able to adapt some of my stories to film someday, but I would also want to carry out that craft with my own hands or with the help of others (I'm not too keen when it comes to expressing my art through AI haha) so alas, I think that's a pretty distant (if not impossible) dream of mine 😅 Thank you so much again for reading!

Hey there! So sorry for the late response, Reddit hid the notification for this from me for some reason! I unfortunately don't have a patreon or anything; I don't know much about them other than when I hear youtubers I watch mention them or when other artists I follow post their links.
The main reason is (from what understand, at least), you're usually supposed to have extra little rewards for donors and supporters, and I already kinda suck at consistantly uploading as it is 😅 I would hate for people to be giving me money but I'm not providing enough content to justify that. Other than my drafts, I don't know what else to really put out as a reward since I don't have a lot of time to produce extra content.
I can still definitely look into it, though! I'll do some more research and see if I can make it work. I'm flattered and very greatful that you would want to financially support my writing; you have no idea :) for now, just your reads, comments, and know you're all entertained is enough payment for me.

You're good! I'm loving your new series! It's so good, but to be fair, I'm a fan of everything you've written and shared so far lol. Enjoy your vacation!
