I KNOW I said I was going to take a break but I am apparently insane. (I am taking it easy, though. Taking the pressure off and not keeping up with regular devlogs does a lot of good for my nervous system for some reason, so thank you, eternally, for letting me do that. )

So. Hello. I haven’t been on here because I hit a point… well, it’s a burnout. I don’t feel motivated to work on ouro at all, in the practical sense, because I have been having both active day- and sleepy-dreams about it. It's in the peripheral.
But i left it at that, and focu...
Hey patrons, just so you know: I'm not ignoring that this place exists. I'm working on several somethings, but chief among them is a shift that is deeply personal, deeply painful, and I'm fighting myself every step of the way. I have no idea if I'm brave enough to step into this new version, this...

It is not sustainable!! You wild, rumpled, mess of a thing. Do
Hello!
I've written a lot during the past two weeks. I'm finding a way back to myself, and my style, it feels like. I've coded nothing again (sorry). The "completed" UI was dropped into my inbox, and while I had doled out pretty specific instructions for the final thing, this dev took the ...
2025-02-17 22:08:48 +0000 UTC View PostA watched pot never boils. It's the third of february and ever since december 20th, something has been brewing. Its been brewing, and brewing, and the surface has foamed and the oils have fractured into perfect mirror-like ponds before fracturing again, and again, but it hasn't boiled.

Sorry! You caught me at the inauguration of Caligul-- sorryy-- never mind. That's too much credit, right? Right? Let's all breathe, yes? Ok. Hugs all around. Let's go.
At any point in time during my recent days, there is at least five hundred and eleventyfive pressing things on m...
In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum. It was my very symbolic thought as I turned the key to my new apartment. Nothing but the final words of Mary Queen of Scotts, before her execution, felt fitting enough to ease this transition. It translates to into thy hands, o Lord...
2025-01-07 17:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostYa'll! DO I have news for you. Not only is ouro chugging along a winding path towards the finished demo, but I am also on the ever moving train of progress. I FINALLY got an apartment! Yippee!!!! It's a newly renovated flat with an adorable kitchen and a balcony with a fantastic view. I hope I wi...
2024-12-16 22:14:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I'm writing you from the trenches of apartment hunting, student-funding issues and the footnote reformatting hell that uni is. I'm beaten black and blue by the stress that is battering me from every angle, I'm not gonna lie. Nana's hip is worsening and I'm only finding apartments that are ...

Well, I'm not really in the program I want to study yet because I was way past the due date of applying, but thanks to a student counselor that truly had my back, I'm in some side...
2024-11-18 17:09:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi hello! Hope you're all well. Things are happening!! This past week I was so out cold from the flu I had to focus on "just" working, and since I noticed that the engagement for healers hands dropped I just decided not to stress about it too much. This weekend I got swept away on a surprise Hall...
2024-11-04 19:38:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Ugh, I have my foot in some literary goop right now, and the other in the quicksand of a body that is constantly fighting me. Throughout today I have had something brewing in my chest, like a hot piece of coal right between my lungs, and sometime after lunch time, it bloomed. I got a fever...
2024-10-21 16:31:54 +0000 UTC View PostPeace and love on planet earth. I know some of you saw my comments on last weeks chapter, how I was dissatisfied with it. And for a while, I just couldn’t figure out why; well, I knew it was my prose, mainly. How I went from sentence to sentence just describing events. I was all about plot, and...
2024-10-14 15:58:34 +0000 UTC View PostPhew! I usually post at six pm my time here, and now it is eight, but that is because I worked my first overtime shift at the servicedesk! I have to writhe in misery a little and say that working the two jobs and writing this throughout the week is a pain in the ass, but I feel so accomplished at...
2024-10-07 18:19:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends! I have a little something for you; I was going to write smut, and you’ll probably tell where in the story I tried to steer it in that direction, but it wasn’t happening. I think I’d like to build up some tension first, and it got me thinking. What if I made this short story i...

I have been hunting for an apartment since the day after I moved o...

Well. Here's an update on why I'm pausing for a while, even though the build is almost done.
I'm sorry if the formatting is weird, I am writing this on my phone and patreons layout is all kinds of wonky!

So... Recently I bit the bullet and decided to go for some art classes to learn to create my own environment art. It's been a lifesaver for the creative juices (but for some doggone reason I always have a paint-smear somewhere, and the workroom stinks of linseed oil, lmao).
Today I completed ...
Oh hello. Wow. I hope you are all doing okay!! I never intended to go so long without updating you all-- I'm sorry, but I have had my head under water for a bit. It started fine... Ah.

I am so close to finishing what would have been book one in the ouro duology (hm, lots of thoughts there that I don't dare to say out loud yet, but will, once I finish and get some new perspective!) and today I just felt like writing something saucy. It might have been inspired after fin...
