I’m not gonna do the whole spiel about how long it’s been or anything like that. It’s tiring writing about that over and over again.
Instead, I’m here to share some good news: we have a stable place to live, and we’re not leaving here anytime soon.
We’ve been living here for two and a half months, but if I’m being honest, it didn’t feel like it was real for that first bit. After moving twice within just over a year, and after moving every couple years or less before that, the cynical part of my brain was convinced that this was just too good to be true. I was almost certain that something would go wrong with this.
I thought maybe my hubby’s parents would run into some kind of problem with securing a way to pay for this house we’re in now. I thought they’d take it away if we somehow didn’t have enough money to help them pay off the debt they took on to give us a home. I was even worried things might fall apart between me and my mates, for some reason.
I thought all sorts of things, some of which I’m not proud of.
But we’re still here, in this home. Nothing bad has happened. And I was finally able to let myself relax recently. I was able to relax so much that I kind of wrote over twenty thousand words in a brand new story with an older teen version of Xavier, one I had never even outlined before. It was just kind of a thought in the back of my mind one night, and… well, here we are.
I’ve broken the story up into parts so it’s easier to read. Twenty thousand words would be quite a lot to read in one sitting, and besides, it’s not even done yet. I’m not sure how much more I’m going to write before I consider it done.
If any of you are still here and still interested in what I write, maybe you could let me know what you’d prefer. Would you prefer I post the parts I’ve written, staggering them out every several days? Or would you maybe like me to wait until I’m done with the story so I have something that’s guaranteed to be finished and won’t leave you on a cliffhanger for the umpteenth time?
I know I’m probably not going to get that many responses here, and that’s fine. I haven’t exactly been good at responding to anything lately, and I feel like I’ve kinda worn down any goodwill users here might have for me after disappearing so often.
I dunno. Maybe that’s just in my imagination. But that idea still nags at the back of my head.
Like last time, I’m not going to make any promises. I’m not going to say that I’ll get this story out on time if I decide to keep writing before I post, and I’m not going to say I’ll be timely with the other parts if I post what I’ve got. I figure if I’m gonna be honest with myself, I need to be honest with you all, too.
On the off chance that I am back for real this time… I hope it stays that way. I love writing for Inkbunny too much to leave it behind.
Fingers crossed, I suppose. And I’ll try to stay positive. :3
Good to hear you finally have something stable. I know things were really rough for ya back in '21 when we were talking, so it's good to hear that some good is finally coming your way, and hopefully keeps coming. As for the stories, I know I'd like what you've wrote so far to be spaced out. I've enjoyed everything you've written so far and the excitement that you're writing something new is a little too good to pass on not asking for some of it now.
