Today is monday, which means; I am back to writing again. Just like school, I take the weekends off. Weekends are the only time I can hang out with my friends. Just like many others, my friends are online friends. Unfortunately this means we’re quite a ways apart. I don’t really mind that they’re so far away, because to me, they’re still my friends. To tell the truth, I don’t get along with the people in my town, and I don’t quite care to. I’ve always been mature for my age. I think it’s part of why I don’t go to the regular high school. I don’t care who’s dating who, who cheated, who’s popular, who’s not. I just don’t care. I don’t really hang out with girls either, I can’t exactly pinpoint why, but it might have something to do with the fact that I don’t care about petty problems. I’ve always been tired of the drama. I’ve cut a lot of people off from my life because all they did was bring me drama. Needless to say this gave me a reputation of being a “bitch”. Since leaving the high school, my life has been healthier. I would use the word careless, but there’s such a negative connotation that comes with it. I really have no way to explain how my life has been bettered, but everything that once caused me problems has diminished. Only one thing came with cutting so many people out of my life, loneliness.

For those of you who read my book, The Journal of Young Eliot Riddle, I will start uploading in parts. This is due to the fact that I also have my new project, My Darling Shadow, starting. I can’t guarantee there will be a new part everyday, so please just bear with me. My Darling Shadow will also be uploaded in parts. When/if I finish these works, I will redo the entire project and organize into chapters. I’m sorry for those of you who enjoy the full chapters but I promise this will make the works better in the end, due to having a second editing phase. I’m so happy and thankful for those of you who follow my works. Part of this is due to the mobile app, being unable to work on more than one work at once, as I usually write at the library. Writer’s block is a true struggle so when I’m blocked on one I transfer to the other. When this occurs I will post the part of whichever I’m blocked on and work on another. When my book, The Journal of Young Eliot Riddle, is finished (I’m set on finishing it,) I will tag those of you, who support me and give me encouragement to keep writing on the Author’s note. If you wish for me not to mention you, let me know. I also have writings on Wattpad that I may transfer over to this site, but I haven’t decided yet.

I decided to start writing when I was struggling with depression. My first works included, a fantasy, yaoi, and yuri. Once I got into high school I started writing poetry. I filled journals upon journals which never touched the eyes of those other than me. Out of about eight journals, I have one left. Out of all my sketchbooks, I have one left. Most artists of any sorts would gasp at the thought of their art being thrown away. And as of now, I do too. But I don’t regret throwing my old stuff in a fire. It allowed me to better my writing. Move on from where I was stuck. It was a new beginning for me. One I desperately needed.
