It has been too long
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 15:34:41 +0000 UTCHello Readers,
It's been too long since I have truly sat down to write.
The pandemic disrupted many and claimed a few souls during its wake.
Even now, I am reeling from the loss of loved ones.
Life continues for the living, and changes are made.
Only now, have I recovered somewhat, trying to juggle through new work.
Last week I finally had a chance to sit and browse the net. I knew my website was down because I didn't have the funds to maintain it at the time. Somehow my fingers typed in a search query and here I found this blog, the first I made, still functional.
Curious, I even found my Patreon page alive.
I guess a part of us survived.
Reading through the story from the beginning, I reunited with the characters I created. I continued on the Patreon page since the old site was down. By the end, though the writing seemed a little fractured at times, I thirsted for more.
Since June of 2021, I had a change of address.
Luckily, like most folks, I kept the usual unused dusty cardboard box of useless belongings.
It was there I recovered my notebook. Filled with the scribbles of Chu and his friends' past and future adventures.
Writing takes up a lot of my time. I admit I am not as skilled as a web novelist who can spew out pages by the day. It takes time for me to find the right words, and even then, I have to edit a few times.
But reading sparked my interest, and the world I created called.
It might be slower than before, but I think I might continue again.
A heartfelt thank you very, very much to the readers on Patreon. The funds accumulated here have really gone a long way to assist me. Especially in the coming months.
Debts can be paid.
