Hey guys,

TLDR: I’m so busy with school, work, and life. I don’t know if I can keep this promise, but I really want to continue updating IT and just writing in general. I’m trying to figure things out, and I’m so sorry for the disappearance and all the people I’ve left hanging for the past 2.5 years. I know IT was an escape, a silver lining, or a safe space for many, and I want to be able to finish forming that space for y’all. I’m sorry if I end up not updating, but that just means that I’ve really tried and I just don’t have the energy. At the end of the day, I hope you can understand that my mental health will need to come first.

-------------------------

Um, it’s been like, 2 and a half years hahahahahhahahha sorry?? I’d be surprised if any of you still remembered me or the fic that I write but wassup, this is the author of Incredible Things if you don’t remember anymore lol

So… obviously I’m alive, and I’ve made a ty, extended disappearance almost worthy of a Buzzfeed Unsolved episode but. I just wanted to let you guys know of a couple things today:

1. I still think of Incredible Things from time to time. Aka I never fully abandoned it, I really do want to continue updating it but I’ve just been unable to because of various reasons. Which brings me to…
2. I’m going to try and really try to update and finish it. It’s not fair for y’all who have invested so much time, love, and energy into both the fic and myself ☹. I logged back in today and still saw new comments, new DMs, new messages on my wall from old users that I remember and I can’t believe some of you are still there for me!
3. That said, it’s gonna be hard just bc of how long IT is (was) and because of all my other priorities. So maybe the chapters are gonna shorten reasonably, my writing might get shorter and will have changed a bit, idk. I’ll be rereading some of my own stuff to remember what things were like back then. Um, I also need to figure out what the plot I had for IT was HAHAH
4. But despite all this, basically, I still want to see IT completed. So I’m going to try. Heck, I want to continue writing. I had another idea for another fic the other day and I was like, damn if ONLY I could still write. But then my brain was like? Hello, who says you can’t? but then my time management skillz (0) and all my other work were all like, um, excuse you?

Anyway, anyway. (yeah I can feel it, the writing’s definitely gonna change more than a little LOL).

I have to come up with a plan, both for the fic, and for my updates – like when am I gonna write, how am I gonna write (more on this sometime later), how to budget my time and how to make the chapters take less time but still make the same impact they did before.

Once I get back into writing, it became such a huge part of my life timewise, both physically and mentally. I just don’t want to commit 100% into this yet because I’m scared of failing y’all again, tbh, but I also really don’t want to leave my teenage life’s work just like that. Also I think that fic is gonna be like nearly 6 or 7 years old soon wth

In conclusion, all I have is this empty promise of I’m half back with no proof to back it up so take it or leave it as you will, I’m sorry :’D

I’d also like to tell you more about all my going-ons so far and explain why I disappeared a bit better. BASICALLY. I go to uni in Canada and we have this thing called co-op where we do internships, yes multiple internships, as part of a requirement to graduate. At least for my uni – and this is a very specific hint so if y’all knew anything about Canadian universities, you’d know which one I go to. 

So since 2018, I haven’t been unemployed (even though I’m still a full-time student). I’m always either looking for a job during a school term while working part-time, or, working full time during work terms. And when I do have free time, sometimes I just want a break or hang out with ppl in real life :(. This whole co-op/school thing has been both incredibly challenging and rewarding because I’ve went form working at a dying starting during my 1^st ever co-op/internship lol to working at a huge tech company in my most recent one. And by huge I mean huge which is exciting!! I’m continuing to work with them part-time until May 2 right now (just finished my internship last Dec 2020), which is another reason why I’m scared to commit to regularly writing and updating and again. Because I don’t only work part time, I’m gonna also be hunting for my summer co-op this year (my last co-op bless), I’m gonna be in school, and I’m also in a consulting club. There’s really a tonna going on tbh.

Anyway. I'll try to be back. Hope to bring back an IT update soon :).
