I'm Back...And It's Reboot Time
*Lightning strikes in an old cemetery. Suddenly a skeleton-like hand claws its way out of the dirt, followed by a cold, pale body, groaning as it comes out of the ground, then starts limping away awkwardly* .......It’s me. The zombie is me. Hey guys. Happy New Year. Damn. It has been….well, a REALLY long time since I’ve been on this site. I can’t say I have a legitimately good excuse for it. More like a long, tangled up string of a billion little excuses knotted together into one. Got burned out from Deviantart. Got sucked into other fandoms/websites/other stories. Got burned out from art and writing in general for a while, which turned out to be a symptom of my returning anxiety and depression. The pandemic/lockdown showed its ugly-ass face, making my conditions even worse. Got COVID at one point—it was the absolute worst several weeks of my life; I haven’t really been the same health-wise even after I got over it. Got a new job, which has made me pretty busy. Got put on a health
My Writing Routine/Checklist for Writing
Over the years in growing and discovering myself as a writer, I've (quite unknowingly, to be honest) molded myself into this daily routine/ritual when it comes to getting ready to write, and while I'm writing in general. Sometimes, the routine varies depending on how seriously I want to write-- i.e. if I'm writing just for fun, like a fanfic, I'll be much more lax, or if I need to really get shit done, like essays for my classes, I'll haul ass and force myself to get in the zone.
Like every other writer, I often get caught in slumps, writer's blocks, and downright refusal to write at all. And that's okay. Sometimes you need a break from time
Book Recommendations and Halloween Ideas
Hellooooo, deviants! How're you doing under this fine October sky?
I could use your help at the moment. I'm looking for book recommendations to read. Right now I'm reading my way through Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and it is really good so far. Like, REALLY good! Probably one of the best books/series I've read since the Heroes of Olympus series. I'm almost done with it, though, and I'd be most thankful if anyone would suggest a new book for me to read when I'm finished to keep me out of the reading slump-- because I can't seem to survive without reading a book at least once a day.
Max: "Geez, you really are a Book Freak."
Fall Cleaning
Well hey there, deviants! Long time no see! ~dragonhi (https://www.deviantart.com/dragonhi)
Yeah, I know it's been a while. A long while. I've been spending most of my time on my fanfiction.net account than on here these days, writing my other stories. And if not that, I've been swamped with real life probz, whether it's from my classes, work, family dilemmas, or other mundane tasks that get in the way of all of us eventually. So yeah, sorry I've been a bit, you know...dead on this site. :icondragonxpplz:
Max: "Yeah...very dead."
Tito: "Unless you count favoriting a lot of awesome artworks, maybe."
Me: "Can't help it. Despite being inactive, people still make amazing stu
