Hey! Quite a bit late on that final UNWOUND, wasn’t I? Well, I do apologize for that. I want to explain a bit on why that ended up happening.
UNWOUND is, in many ways, me trying to process a particular stretch of my life into words. That stretch of life has been difficult, harsh, and is still ongoing. But UNWOUND is, in so many ways, about the good things that has helped me to push through that. The connections and the support that has helped me to reforge myself into something better after the gauntlet I’ve been through.
I didn’t want it to end. I knew that I had to end UNWOUND, it was not planned to go on forever. I didn’t plan most of it at all, it was a challenge to myself to keep writing, to keep working, and my fear of ending it made me fail that challenge, for months.
But it’s over now. Because I was reminded that…I can’t live in a rut. I can’t just exist in a loop, stagnating. Because even if the locale is nicer then my last one, it’s still stagnating. I need to improve, to keep working and to make new and better things.
To head towards the Horizon.
I’m glad that people enjoyed UNWOUND. It was rough and unplanned, and could be improved, and maybe one day I’ll go back and improve it. But for now, I’m moving on to my next project, the next horizon in front of me.
It’ll be a bit until my next story starts. I need to plan it out, but I’ll be posting little sneak peeks and teasers as I get a more solid shape for it all.
And, next month, January 2024…
We go Beyond the Second Sun.
