Hey y’all, it’s been almost a literal year and I’m sorry but y’know how TikTok talks about the Fanfic writer’s curse… I think I got my dose (again).
          	I’m gonna just go chronologically, and NO I will NOT go any further into depth than I am here, on the off-chance you know me irl, my cell hasn’t changed, just text me.
          	So my last updates for all three of my main Fics looks to end of July- but with larger gaps in there, so I’ll start there.
          	As some of you may remember I moved mid July. Yeah, anyone who ever told you that moving is JUST the physical moving day(s) is LIAR, do not believe them!
          	August- I was working just about every available slot of overtime I could without driving myself into the ground-since I moved into a far larger apartment than I had been in previously- so I could actually afford the furniture I was buying.
          	September- this is when most of the furniture was arriving, and I was able to start cutting back on overtime, but spent a lot of time building furniture or planning with people when they could help me put together the larger stuff. Like an island, a couch, etc.
          	October- that last piece of furniture was a literal hoe and genuinely didn’t arrive until like Halloween but I was on what started out as weekly phone calls but very quickly progressed to nearly daily phone calls to try and get answer out of an actual human being as to why I wasn’t able to get anything resembling an answer as to why it hadn’t arrived yet. BE VERY CAREFUL using Wayfair for purchasing ANYTHING! That’s the moral of that story.
          	November- While scheduling and I can actually be fairly good friends, when the fancy strikes, I bit off WAY more than I could chew with the "catch-up schedule" I made for myself.
          	December- How, I don’t know, but I actually managed to keep up that- frankly- INSANE schedule all the way up until the holidays. (Though I genuinely think I worked myself sick seeing as I got whacked with a head cold and the flu {Part 1

so we could all be present for the ceremony, throw a party and help him get settled in his first apartment. I’m so proud of him!
          	  June- Though everything was largely resolved I will freely admit that it just didn't even cross my mind that I had been neglecting these and that I honestly could've been posting- at a minimum- in book 1 roughly the whole time. Oh! And I’ve been debating going back to school! I completely forgot about that! 
          	  July- I got a couple of people asking about using my Scripts which made it kinda sneak back but not enough that I really clicked that I needed to actually DO WORK, and I will 100% own up to that being a major miss on my end. 
          	  So, I am NOT going to stick to the schedule I set the first time around- that's what got us into this mess in the first place and I do, actually, know the definition of insanity- but I have NOT abandoned these books *side eye* Wattpad. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated in regards to the posting schedule, but for now it’ll likely be just s1 repostings once a week so I can try to stay ahead of the curve. (If college DOES end up being a thing I do this once a week thing might be sticking around for a while.)
          	  Commenting helps remind me that I not just spewing these into the void and no one cares, you guys, so I'm going to be selfish and ask that when I do start posting again that you all comment.
          	  I don't really care what kind of comment you guys leave, I have gotten enough rude comments that I'm pretty sure y'all couldn't do worse than.

[I thankfully did NOT get COVID!] that took me out for a week and a half.) As a Yule present from life to me, my transportation home was canceled due the ice storm and I only JUST made it home in time for the christian celebration.
          	  January- This meant that I ended up killing my motivation to do ANYTHING related to these quite mercilessly. Especially on top of the standard life (& the rest listed above between August & November~December) stress.

I told myself I’d get myself sorted, but I kept dreading starting again and pushing it back
          	  February- I was in a car accident about mid month. I walked away with bumps and bruises but I still got walloped by another car that side impacted mine- passenger side, luckily- going at least 50mph with the air bags not deploying. My car was completely totaled. Insurance will suck the life right out of you, I swear, even when you get good news, it’s just A LOT.
          	  March- I HAVE to drive to work (I may live in a major metropolitan area, but getting on public transport isn't quite there to travel outside it yet.) so I was using a Rental and paying for it out of pocket, which meant I was picking up my side gigs on top of overtime so that I could afford it. Not to mention I was now looking at buying a new car and configuring all of that as well my finances going forward with the addition of a car payment.
          	  April- This all did eventually get resolved but I was still dealing with residual aches, pains, and at least a bit of a concussion well into May which made it, generally, pretty unpleasant. My left leg, both hips (more specifically my pelvis), ribs, neck, and both arms took the brunt of it so you can imagine how sitting and I got along during that time.

Haven’t heard from you in a while, everything okay?

Take your time friend, one step at a time and hopefully things will adjust. Get well soon and see you in your next update, no rush.

Thank you for reaching out, I’ve been… I don’t even know how to describe it. Physically I’m fine, I’m safe, which a lot better than I can say for some other trans folks.
            But sometimes I’m so numb and lose time; and other times I’m sunk deep into reading that I don’t realize how much time has passed; and the only in between seems to be when I’m at work but even that’s not entirely true. 
            Idk what the actual hel is going on with me, this has happened before but we’re coming up on month (I genuinely don’t know if this month 2, 3, 5, or maybe even 12) of this with only a few “normal” days in there.  Which makes writing even more fun ideas nigh on impossible.

@ImpulseTolmpling how often can we expect updates

ImpulseToImpling

These last few weeks of the year, not many, maybe one more. 
            In the new year… I’m hoping for once every other week, but I don’t know how successful with that I’ll be. Once a month is what I’ll try to keep my minimum to, unfortunately I have not been spending the last however-long-it’s-been (I have genuinely lost track) working thru them so they’re ready to let out quickly, I have maybe a couple partials ahead of where I left off. I’d like to go back to doing whole episodes, which of course means longer waits, but I’m also out of practice and still trying to shake off the lingering issues that make typing a harder task than it used to be.

Hey guys, if you read the last chapter I posted, you knew this was likely on its way. But I figure it’s better to make announcement like this here, so I know everyone who looks for my scripts can see it. 
          I’ve moved, which is great, but it’s also a massive f*cking stressor. Especially since I moved from a shoebox of a studio to an actually nice one bedroom. So while I have physically moved everything to my new apartment and 90% of my stuff is unpacked, I still need to scrounge together money for furniture.
          So, I’m working a fair amount of overtime at my actual IRL job to make more money to able to buy furniture AND be able to pay off my credit card bill when it comes with these items on it. Which means my scripts need to take a back seat for a bit.
          I’m hoping it’ll only be a few weeks- I’m aiming for Mid August in my head right now- but as I said in Book 3, that timeline is unfortunately something I can’t control.
          I’m not completely stopping, but I am going back to posting once a week rather than twice so I can ease up on my schedule I set to work on the scripts.
          Thank you for understanding.

Update schedule is changed to twice a week, Wednesdays and Saturday, I just needed to get back into the swing of things.
          I have a plan for this, and am hoping for another update to the schedule come August.
          And yes, this plan goes until I have finished S4’s posting. (I won’t admit how far forward that goes, it’s kinda up in the air for when that would be due to me hoping I’ll switch to whole episodes at some point.)
