New Year Means New Me

TL:DR for those who don't want to read the whole thing:

I lost someone very close to me and have spent the last two months physically, emotionally, and financially recovering from it. Loving someone is hard ya'll. I have recently decided to write full time because I'm lonely and sad and really want to create magical stories for people who want to read them.

The Full Thing:

Long-time readers of mine would know I moved at the start of the year. I did this for someone and when I made the move, I never imagined my time with them would be so short. Things were serious and they needed me (which is why I moved in the first place) but again... Yeah. It was the reason why my mental health was so bad in the last few posts I made. Hug your loved ones tight for me.

The last two months have been a fog. I was all alone for the first time on Christmas and spent New Years in bed. It has sucked majorly but I don't think this is what they'd want for me. So, new year, new me.

I have decided to write full time, at least for the next few months. I was never the happiest with what I did. I want to create stories, not spend all my time pointing out the flaws in ones other people write! This means a lot more stories! I'm thinking of finally dusting off the original idea I've been 'working on' for the past 5 years.

So yeah. Idk what more to say other than I'm sorry? Thanks for listening to me ramble on about how sad and lonely I am, lol.

But uh, if you've read so far, drop in and say hi? Or tell me which story you've missed the most? Or that I'm horrible and worse than GRRM when it comes to uploads (unlike him, I do promise an upload in 15 minutes lol). Or maybe a fandom you'd like to see me write? Or guesses on what my original story is about?

Sorry, rambling again. But hi, and thanks for reading all of this.

I hope you are doing better. I understand your pain. I lost a loved one and I didn't have something like writing to help me so my solution, once I realized I was petrifying, was far more drastic. That did allow me to experience swimming with sea turtles at Midway Island though and that was pretty cool.

Happy your back and doing well loss of a loved one is always hard. As far as stories im eager to see is more A Fortuitous arrangement and grass is always greener

Brody Johnson

im sorry it's goin so rough, losing people is so hard to deal with. it gets easier with time. since you asked, Fleur de Lis is by FAR one of my favorite stories ive ever read, one of the most realistic and human relationships ive read. also im just a sucker for Harry and Fleur.

Anything I could say would repeat what others have said. Be well and, hopefully, happy. We'll be here waiting.

I'm so sorry for your loss. There is no good way to deal with true grief. It hurts worse than anything else in the world but the only way to not experience it is to never love someone like that and that is no way to live. Just know that you aren't truly alone and I hope writing helps you. Just take it a day at a time and we'll all be here.

So sorry for your loss. Thank you for gifting us your writing talent.

My condolences on your loss. May peace and comfort find you in the days ahead.

Glad to see you back! Best wishes to you!

Simplelum

I am glad you are back, but mostly glad you are OK. I have been concerned for you, and I am thankful you have found enough meaning to focus. It seems selfish to ask for my favorites to be written, but my list includes Tenebrae et Lux, The Grass is always Greener and A Godfather's promise. I wish you a much better new year.

Hacura

Losing a loved one, no matter who, is a tough event to overcome even for the best of us. My condolences to you and you have my support. In regards to stories, id love to read more on Tonks (mis)education or Her Bound Heart. You are a talented writer and i look forward to reading whatever you decide to work on.

Thank you! That is my hope as well!

Happy New Year! I am sorry to have worried so many of you. I just didn't have the energy to do anything. There were times when I didn't leave the house for 3-4 days at a time.

R. Collins

Thank you! I will be updating that story this month!

R. Collins

Thank you! Yep, I am still kicking around (and wishing so hard 2025>2024). I'll see what I can make of that idea! As for The Grass Is Always Greener, I have to reread that story but should have an update for it sometime in the near future!

R. Collins

Thank you!

R. Collins

Happy New Year! That is my hope as well. It still feels raw but not as bad now. Hopefully you like my newest offerings.

R. Collins

Thank you!

R. Collins

Happy new year Collins! I’m very glad to hear from you, we were really worried about you.

Holaa ,te deseo lo mejor de lo mejor,que pronto te recuperes ,en todo los aspectos,me encanta tu historia del corazón de Harry y Hermione ,es por la historia que te digo,las otras me gustan ,pero esa me tiene con el corazón en un puño ,y deseo que puedas seguir

teresa parrado pinaque

It's good to hear from you again. I'm sorry you've had to go through some rough stuff (that's putting it lightly). You should definitely dust off the original idea. Let's see what you've created! We know you have the skills to make something great. Gotta say, I've missed The Grass is Always Greener. That's the one that got my attention. Again, it's good to hear from you and that you're still with us (although, in a rougher shape, but still with us).

Rogue

wishing you better days to come

Ben Allen

I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you can fully heal from it eventually. Really happy to have you back as well and I’m looking forward to a future filled with your writings. Happy New Year Collins.

Lord Terra

Wish you the best!
