It has been too long

Hello Readers,

It's been too long since I have truly sat down to write.

The pandemic disrupted many and claimed a few souls during its wake.

Even now, I am reeling from the loss of loved ones.

Life continues for the living, and changes are made.

Only now, have I recovered somewhat, trying to juggle through new work.

Last week I finally had a chance to sit and browse the net. I knew my website was down because I didn't have the funds to maintain it at the time. Somehow my fingers typed in a search query and here I found this blog, the first I made, still functional.

Curious, I even found my Patreon page alive.

I guess a part of us survived.

Reading through the story from the beginning, I reunited with the characters I created. I continued on the Patreon page since the old site was down. By the end, though the writing seemed a little fractured at times, I thirsted for more.

Since June of 2021, I had a change of address.

Luckily, like most folks, I kept the usual unused dusty cardboard box of useless belongings.

It was there I recovered my notebook. Filled with the scribbles of Chu and his friends' past and future adventures.

Writing takes up a lot of my time. I admit I am not as skilled as a web novelist who can spew out pages by the day. It takes time for me to find the right words, and even then, I have to edit a few times.

But reading sparked my interest, and the world I created called.

It might be slower than before, but I think I might continue again.

A heartfelt thank you very, very much to the readers on Patreon. The funds accumulated here have really gone a long way to assist me. Especially in the coming months.

Debts can be paid.
