A year has already gone by...

Hello everyone. It’s been over a year now since I’ve started writing and posting my own stories. I figured I do a little bit of a personal narrative, a kind of miniature memoir of sorts to celebrate. At the same time, I’d like to take this moment to get a bit more personal and share a bit about what I’m currently experiencing.

How things are with me currently?

I’d like to end this memoir positively so I’ll just drop this here at the beginning to get it out of the way.
Some of you may already know, but I'm just a regular guy in my early twenties, living at home with my family on one of the smallest islands in the Caribbean.
My life took a bit of a turn when my dad passed away in 2020, however we've been sticking together and living like normal by our means since then. However, things have been admittedly poor lately. My family has never been well off financially, it's a classic tale of growing up in the struggle and making it by. However, recently things have been particularly bad because of unforeseen events. The saving grace is that things are this way for a specific reason that should be resolved by early next year, so by then we should return to our version of normalcy.
Why am I talking about this?
I just wanted to give a little insight for why things have been a bit weird with me lately, in the case that anyone noticed. Anyone who's went through this situation would know that financial problems don't stop at just the physical but they can also affect you mentally. This is especially true for people like me who are self-proclaimed perfectionists at heart. I've been struggling a bit with writing as much and as quickly as I'm used to, not because the ideas aren't there but because it's hard getting my fingers moving. Real life problems tend to give me more things to think about, which is a problem as I'm already constantly thinking. It’s something that my old boss used to comment on often, that my brain just never rests. I'm the type of person that paces aimlessly around the house, thinking, planning, innovating, every idea that pops up in my head, I always try to build around it. Take this intro for instance, I never intended it to be this long yet here I am still writing it.
Anyway, what I'm trying to get is that I might not be able to perform at the standard I see for myself for a little while. That's also the reason it's taking so long for me to put out more recent projects. I wouldn't call what I'm currently experiencing as depression, but rather just the run of the mill mental exhaustion. I have no intention of going away as I love what I'm currently doing and have big aspirations for the future. And on that note, I'd like to sincerely thank everyone who allows me to do what I do for a living to where I can also support my family in these times. Whether it be regular readers, commissioners or subscribers, I'm really grateful that you all chose to be part of my audience.

But man, I've been doing this a whole year already. As cheesy as it sounds, it feels like it was just last week that I was sitting at my job in a lottery booth, downloading an app on the work Wi-Fi that would allow me to write on my phone. All of this started with an idea of a guy sold to a goblin girl to be used as her sex slave.
Moving away from the heavy stuff now, let’s talk a bit about my journey.

How did this all start?

There were two catalysts really.
The first was my addiction to reading. It started with my love for anime, then my friend introduced me to the novel for one of the anime that I was watching. I never really read much, however my impatience to know what happened next made me pick up the novel. From there the time I spent watching got lesser while the time I spent reading only increased, to the point that today I mostly only read novels without watching anything, I haven’t watched regular TV in literal years. However, anybody who's into reading light novels would gradually come to feel that a lot of the stories these days now have the same themes, same plot outlines, same gimmicks and tropes. It gets tiring. You start criticizing everything you read, and in my case, I always had the thought that I could probably write a better story, so I tried. It started with just a regular fantasy story, however it eventually put it aside because of real life obligations, that was years ago. However, I've since found the passion again and finally gave it another try a year ago, and what motivated me was the second catalyst; lack of niche content.
I could have probably just tried to google harder, however I always felt that there was very little NSFW content that really resonated with the combination of kinks and interests I held. I talked about this with those in my discord server already, but the thing that really motivated me was the thought that, if I can't find much content that matches my broad preferences, then I'll just create it myself. So that's how we've ended up here today. And I’m so glad I took that plunge.

What do I enjoy about writing?

Everything I love about writing are things that I've only come to realize in my year plus of actually writing for real. I really love creating new characters, trying to make them interesting both in their aesthetic and biographies. I now know what it feels like to have OC's that you can be proud of, if only I could draw them lol.  Then there's the world building. It's something that can be tedious depending on how you go about it, however I've found joy in slowly crafting my main world that will be spread across multiple instances of my stories. And of course, I may be repeating myself, but getting to create scenarios on my own terms that satisfy my own interests and kinks, no matter how raunchy and filthy, is a very fulfilling aspect of creation in my opinion. Dabbling in creation, no matter how major or minor, is something I encourage anyone to try at least once, you just might end up finding your new favorite hobby. Or you might end up turning it into a career like what I’m trying to do.

What do I envision for the future?

My long-term aspiration is to become a creator that's recognized in the community for his ability. Writing alone has never been the limit of my goals, this past year has been truly good to me, however I want to aspire for more. I want to be able to visually represent what people have come to enjoy in my stories. One of my many flaws is that I always try to take on more than what one person can reasonably bare, however I don't intend to stop with my pursuit in learning art and animation, it might just take more time than I intend. I also won't forget about my goals of rewriting and improving on the stories I've already written, so far it's been a year with little progress however I believe that it's something that will naturally come about as I learn to manage my life and my time better. Until then though, I plan to keep writing new things and hopefully improve along the way. I’d also like to create a world or even a universe that other creators might be inclined to dip their feet into. So many ideas yet so little time.

The things I’ve gained so far:

A platform to express my repressed creativity. All of the stories and scenarios I’ve spent years daydreaming about and conceptualizing can finally be put into a tangible medium that I and others can enjoy.
A legitimate interest.
After years spent trying this and that, jumping into one thing and skipping over to the next, I feel like I’ve finally found what I really want to do: create things.
Community.
I’ve met some really cool people ever since I’ve started doing this, a lot of whom are in my own discord server. I’d like to give a shoutout to those people, especially those that have been there from the beginning:

And a final shout out to all the rest of my readers, watchers and subscribers. Your continued interest in my works is what makes this all possible and I hope to provide you all with more and even greater creations for the years to come!
Oh, and, in celebration of my one year anniversary, I’ll soon be making the first two Epics I’ve ever written (The Rarest Pokémon Volume 1 & Sibling Bonding Volume 1) free for all to read.
Cheers to a better and brighter 2023!
