So, not dead obviously. A couple changes around the profile. One upload. Clearly, there is movement. I'm just not sure where things are going to move from here. I know the kinds of stuff I want to do, but it's not too different from what it was before. Finish MDJ. Maybe do more Blue Snow. I've debated posting original fiction, but I think I might refrain from doing so unless I see a *lot* of interest in it.


Figured a small update was at least warranted.

MDJ QOL

1 min read
Can I get some opinions?  I'd considered going back through MDJ and making a few changes- things like switching in English names where (bad) Japanese was used initially, clearing up ambiguities, making Heath's fortune-telling session less awful....  The idea would be to sort of sharpen my writing skills in preparation for returning to actual writing, as I imagine I'm quite rusty.  Is there interest in me doing it, and would there be any interest in preserving the original as-written versions?

This would not be a total overhaul.  I've tried that behind the scenes, and while I think the end result worked reasonably well, if I did this, I'd basically have to start the story over, which I am very not interested in doing.  The tone and events are differnt enough for much of the story to feel rather different.  If I wound up doing a second go at the story, it would be after the story has finished.  This, meanwhile, would just be small quality-of-life updates.

So, opinions?

First off, allow me to say that I'm glad people are still looking in this direction.  I'm very sorry for how dead my page has been for quite some time.  I legitimately did not expect any responses, so having you guys chime in was gratifying.  Thank you for that.

I'm not a hundred percent certain where I am writing-wise.  I've written so little over the last few years.  I still remember where I was going with all my stories. I just kind of haven't had the time or motivation to do anything with the writing.

I do want to finish MDJ at the very least.  We're coming up on its ten-year anniversary in less than a year, and I'm kind of ashamed it's taken this long to write.  I didn't plan on it taking nearly this long.  I'm going to try and find time to finish it up over the next nine months, but just in case I don't....  Well, I wouldn't be surprised.

As for anything else- Blue Snow, for instance- I don't know.  I don't want to let anything die, obviously- these stories are important to me, and I do want to share them.  And maybe something will turn around, but I don't know.

I'm not dead, and I'm not giving up 100%.  I'm just....  Not feeling great about my pace, or lack thereof.

So, um....  It's...  It's been a while.  Is anybody still around and/or looking over in this direction?
