Where to start... I guess I should first tell you all how sorry I am for going ghost for so long. I really didn't mean to but, and I know I keep saying this, but a lot has been happening on my end and I'm going to be a bit transparent about it in hopes that you'll understand.

My wife and I both agreed that it was best if we got divorced. It wasn't exactly anyone's fault, we both just have different needs that each other weren't capable of meeting. That doesn't mean that the whole transition has been a smooth ride, though.

At first, we were talking about selling the trailer we live in, which was turning my comfort zone inside-out. This place, where I had poured blood, sweat and tears into to make my home, was potentially being taken away from me. This meant that I would have to find an apartment, which also meant everything in my work shed, powertools, materials, etc... would have to go into storage or, even worse, I'd have to sell them.

However, I think we've both agreed that we're going to try to stay as roommates, since that has mostly been working really well so far. She does have a new boyfriend from our previous poly relationship who's going to move in, which really doesn't bother me too much. I practically live in my office as it is lol.

On top of that, work has been doing its best to drive me into a mental breakdown. Whether its workload, being short staffed, overbearing co-workers who think I should do every single little thing perfectly, or just the mind numbing routine of doing the same crap every day with little to no appreciation or reward, it's been rough. I have to admit that there for a while, I was having some dangerous thoughts...

But now, with a little luck, things may be on the rise for me. I may have a financial situation pan out for me to help take some of the load off of me, which will also result in more time for me to spend on not only myself, but also my projects, as well as helping my friend VictorSeven on some stuff with his project, Worlds Crossing Academy. (By the way, if you've never heard of it and you like excellent writing and loveable characters, check it out. You won't regret it! https://victorseven.itch.io/wca)

Now that all of the IRL stuff is out of the way, I'd like to talk a little about the direction of the content I have planned.

First off, lets address the elephant in the room... By Last Petal's Fall. I haven't touched that project in such a long time that most of you probably think its dead by now. I would love to tell you that that's not the case and I plan to get back to work on it soon, but I don't like to make promises I can't keep. I've been finding it really hard to get into the right headspace, and if I'm not in the right headspace, anything I do with it will end up as garbage. I'd rather let it lay for a while longer so I can do it justice, instead of forcing it and the whole thing falls apart.

However, this doesn't mean that I'm not working on things at all. I have a few WIP's that I've been bouncing between to save myself from burnout.

One is Seeds of Corruption. This is a VERY different project in comparison to By Last Petal's Fall. It is very much an H game and, well... let's just say that my brain can come up with really cute and lovable characters, slice of life settings that (I hope) are entertaining, but I also have a very, VERY dark side that can belch out some extremely disturbing stuff. So, if things like that aren't your cup of tea, then I suggest avoiding it.
Another is, as listed in my projects library, Misery In Theory, which I've kind of been feeling the itch to work on again lately, but its not quite there yet.

Then there's the comic... Yes, I've been planning/working on a 3D webcomic of sorts. Again, won't be everyone's cup of tea as it is definitely aimed towards a few particular fetishes that I won't go into here, because this post is getting way too long as it is lol.

My point is, I really do want to get something out there to you all, but with everything still being a bit in the air around the house, depression, the fact that I more than likely have ADHD since I have had a lot of the signs revealed to me, and medical issues that I hope I'm finally working out (short version, heart palpitations, got super worried about them, had a CT scan, heart is fine and I'm pretty sure the potassium and magnesium I've been taking is fixing it,) things are hard for me to stay focused on and maintain motivation for. I really am trying my best, and I hope you understand.

I'll be sure to let you all know if things change in the near future, which I'm hoping that they do. Until then, be safe and take care of yourselves.

See you soon!
