Sorry for disappearing like I did. I\u2019ve recently been in a major burn out mode for my blogging\u2026 I just couldn\u2019t keep my mind fresh for each day\u2019s post, you know? That\u2019s why, for today, I\u2019m just going to go with the flow\u2026 and give you some updates along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, I won\u2019t be posting on a schedule anymore. At least, not now, not for a while. I can\u2019t handle schedules as well as I used to- I had a vlog schedule and screwed it up heavily last week. Schedules and I just aren\u2019t mixing well right now. So, from now on, you\u2019ll have to keep your eyes peeled until I can get the newsletter extension to work. I\u2019ll be working hard to figure out how to do that, too, because I really wanna write one for you guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another change is that I\u2019m going to reincorporate writing into my posts sometimes. I\u2019ve realized that while it wouldn\u2019t be a professional blog, I never actually ended up starting one- and instead, I feel more comfortable sharing my writing attempts with you, my lovely readers, than try to keep myself totally business oriented on another blog. Plus, again, schedules would be needed and I can\u2019t do those as easily as I used to. So that\u2019s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for some life updates. My boyfriend and I broke up about two weeks ago now. Honestly, this was a very hard blow for me and my mental health. I was depressed for a long while, and I\u2019m still not quite over it. That said, I\u2019ve wandered back into the dating pool and have found some interesting people along the way. There\u2019s one girl I\u2019ve got my eye on right now, but I\u2019m a bit uneasy about some things. Still, I really like her\u2026 So we\u2019ll see how that goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of my writing life, I have two things to share. One, I\u2019m working on entering one writing contest per month, so if you know of any for poetry or short stories, please let me know! I\u2019m also now working on writing a series. I\u2019m in between writing and planning right now, but it\u2019s how I\u2019ve decided to meld two of my writing ideas into one. I\u2019ll give you a synopsis and such at another time, though. Today\u2019s focus is just to give you updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see, what else, what else\u2026 My medical problems are starting to worsen, at least as of late. Unfortunately, my headaches are getting really bad, I\u2019m chronically dizzy, and my intermittent exotropia is acting up quite often, so I\u2019m seeing double quite a bit of the time. (In case you don\u2019t know what an exotropia is, it\u2019s when one eye turns outward while the other eye stays focused!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I forgot to mention is some new projects and things! Well, I guess the series news was technically project related. But oh well! The two projects I have going on? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, for starters, I\u2019m a livestreamer on Twitch now! You can watch me at random intervals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/jalunaberry\">here<\/a>. I\u2019m mostly playing My Time at Portia right now due to the fact that Pathea, the people behind it, are going to donate all proceeds from the game this month to a charity that\u2019s working to help deal with the Coronavirus epidemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing I plan on working on more is mapping in RPGmaker. I\u2019ll be making small maps regularly (I was doing this for a while last month, but I couldn\u2019t keep up with it). It will no longer be every day, but I intend to do at least three a week. Please comment if you want me to post the images here- otherwise I\u2019ll only be posting them on DeviantART, which you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/juneberry-chan\" class=\"broken_link\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m still youtubing, by the way. If you get bored, check out my channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCz4pWHOLMwXbfTjuBXBh7kg\">here<\/a> and maybe comment some ideas of videos you\u2019d like to see! I\u2019d love to hear from you guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that this post has reached over 666 words (it was 666 at the end of the previous paragraph!), I think it\u2019s about time I let you go. Please let me know what projects you\u2019d be interested in seeing more about, whether it\u2019s my forum (which I forgot to mention still exists), my videos, or anything else. I\u2019d love to know what you want to see- and I\u2019m happy to share just about anything! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take care, guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long time no see, everyone!
