The Deafening Silence

Hey guys, it's me. I know if you're reading this, you're probably wondering why I went from posting several blog posts, one per day, to being silent for 11 days.

Here's my honest logic, and It kinda hurts to admit it: I am not as strong as I project that I am. I'm strong, and I do know that, but writing the first part about the story of Misty was honestly rather painful, and for the last days of silence I've really struggled with my depression. It doesn't help that I got into an argument with someone I truly respect, or that I truly am dreading an upcoming vacation that I'm also excited about.

Either way, no excuses. My silence is over, and I will continue writing to you all so none of you feel alone in your depression or anxiety, or so that some of you can just stare at my cute animal pictures because I'll admit, they're awful cute.

On my mind today? NaNoWriMo. If you haven't ever heard of this program, while it does many many things, the founding part of the non-profit is for National Novel Writing Month, which is seriously 30 days of writing non-stop to hit the goal of a 50,000 word novel. I have honestly... sucked the last few years. In fact, I haven't completed it fully since my first year, which was 2012. This year, though, I think I've got it. I'm going to write something that is mostly non-fiction, and I'm excited to see what you all think about the idea, which I will definitely tell you all about in my next post.

For now, I have to go back to the work that pays the bills, and cross my fingers I have paid all of the recent bills (that's a good question, have I?). I'll see you guys tomorrow!
