Where I've Been...
Hello all, I suppose y'all have been wondering where I'd been. Hopefully I can answer that here while providing some updates...
I'm reaching out to everyone because unfortunately, all of my story drafts have essentially been deleted, not by me. I kept all my drafts in a google drive on my school account. I kept them there because they were easily accessible and they allowed writing and editing tools that made the writing process a whole lot easier. I graduated almost three weeks ago now, and my school account has locked me out and I am no longer to access my files. I unfortunately do not have any backups or drafts held elsewhere, just everything in my head. This really sucks because I had quite a couple near-complete stories that I was getting ready to share. Probably not the best idea to use a school account, but I'll use this as a lesson learned going forward.
*Where I've Been * - Writing became pretty difficult for me for a while because I lost the initial motivation that I had when I first started writing. I started to not like everything I wrote and began deleting quite a large sum of work that only I have seen. This combined with work and school, writing became a chore. I still want to write, I have plenty of ideas that I want to share with you all. I also think by not releasing any work, I feel as if I've let you (my watchers) down. I just needed a spark to get my motivation back, and funny enough I think all my time spent being erased is actually a blessing in disguise. A fresh star if you will. That being said I will give updates on my plans.
*Dragon in the Mountain * - I plan to have at least 3 more chapters in this short story, I also am thinking about doing some one-offs of the series (once I finish the main storyline) where our characters explore random activities. As for the next chapter, I will not provide any release date as it stands, I am basically starting from zero, and have no idea when I'd get around to finishing.
*Sacrificed to a Dragon * - Sequel incoming, and possibly more! Upon request, and ideas that have popped into my head, I will continue this series. No idea how long it'll go, I'm still doing some world-building and generating some lore that the story can follow.
*Next Steps - * Like I said, I have ideas, and I think I'm wanting my next piece of writing to be a one-off. Something that I haven't tried writing before. I think this will help put less pressure on me to release new chapters of my series(s). Help me get my writing mojo back. It'll probably be something NSFW, with dragon(s) of course! My first year of college starts in late August, so I'll have to see how much I can get done. In the mean time, keep living life to the best of your ability, and have fun doing so. Thanks again for being patient, hopefully I won't have to write another one of these things again in the future, at least not anytime soon that is...
Bye for now, -Diastriko
P.S. I'll continue to respond to any questions, should anyone feel the need to reach out.
