Something I... had to contend with, let's say, back during the Fig Hunter days was people giving me unwanted advice whenever I vented about my myriad issues, and how frustrating that got in large doses when the venting itself was the 'solution' (of sorts). Sometimes certain minds - like mine - need to get things out somewhere, and we feel better after having done so; this blog's such an outlet for me.

Obviously the problems remain, but they don't exactly have easy solutions. The main thing I feel I need to focus on at the moment is finishing and then figuring out how to publish Atonal Dreams; if that doesn't work out, I'll have to rethink things, but for now it's best to just stick with this path. It's mentally difficult being so isolated and dealing with the trauma-based self-loathing, but I'm able to remain relatively productive and mentally calm most days... I dread the thought of how that might change when I have to engage more with the world, but for now I have this task so I try to just focus on that.
