It worries me that my injury has been so persistent these past few weeks. I wish there was a greater sense of urgency from my job but I'm really left with little to no information at all right now.

Can't sleep and struggling to figure out how I want to get my content out on ko-fi. Do I just upload chapters in a blog format or do it as a pdf file? I probably should have done a bit more research beforehand but with everything going on, I just wanted to start something that left me feeling good.

I am in so much heckin pain right now.. last two days have been an absolute nightmare.

I made a post on my Ko-fi regarding the long form content I plan to release. This is just to give an idea of what you can expect from my page. Both the prologue and first chapter should release in the next week and by the end of the month, the first 5 will be available.

I didn't realize coming back on light duty meant sitting outside in the rain and getting sick...

I also need to decide how I'd like those chapters to be uploaded. I don't really know how to go about discouraging my work being taken and posted elsewhere so I'd have to do a bit of research beforehand but I hope to start on Sunday.

I think I've settled on the prologue + first five chapters being accessible to all for free on my ko-fi. Hopefully, this will allow anyone interested to get a proper glimpse of what the story may entail before committing to a subscription.

I'll probably make a blog post with more info later.

New year, same old stress with bills.

Trying not to let it get to me so in other news, I think I'll have a projected schedule for uploading the first few chapters in the next day or so.

Happy New Year ~
Let this be a year in which we tell many wonderful stories.

It is difficult coming up with a format that I feel will prove welcoming to new readers of my work. A part of me wants to share the prologue to my story publicly and then begin the chapters under membership tiers but does that make sense? Or should I offer the first few chapters for free?
January 1, 2026 at 1:49 AM
I've uploaded a few of my previous shorts to Ko-Fi for any to access. Tomorrow, I start the process of sharing the story I've been working on. That will consist of behind-the-scenes looks and thoughts behind my process as well as posting the first chapter.

While they are still something of a work in progress, I have set up a few membership tiers for my Ko-fi page, in the hopes that you might have something to look forward to. Please take a look! #KofiMembership #KofiChallenge

When I saw this challenge, I honestly thought it was perfect for me. My creative self is one I've ignored for quite some time and so hopefully this letter is the start of something new and motivation for any others who might see it. #KofiChallenge #KofiCreativeLetter

One of the reasons I decided to start my journey on Ko-fi was because I found myself with a lot of time after sustaining a work-related injury a few weeks ago. It has put me in quite a predicament financially but also given me a chance to work on my dreams. #KofiChallenge

Since we've finally reached the end of the year and I've begun a ko-fi page, I guess I'll go ahead and try to knock out some of these challenges.

Looking back, I've written quite a lot of Cloti in the last few years. Here's another snippet of another short, this time involving the small family of Cloud, Tifa, Denzel and Marlene.

Words from a Cloti fic that I wrote for a friend. It's a ship that I've always found myself fond of, considering that Final Fantasy VII was one of my first JRPGs and Cloud was one of the first protagonists that I really came to love.

It's late but I'd sort of like to at least upload some examples of past writing but not sure what manner to go about doing it..
December 31, 2025 at 8:48 AM
Now that I've properly made a ko-fi, I figured it was time to start utilizing social media properly... Or trying to anyways.
