Hello, friends… long time no talk!
Didn’t mean to disappear for two whole years here (woops), but I’ve been enjoying my time over on SubStack for the time being. General updates: still living in Munich, still teaching English, still squeezing in writing whenever possible.
Can I be transparent with you? I’ve recently shelved the fantasy novel I’ve been working on since Summer 2024 as it just wasn’t feeling fun anymore. Maybe I’ll come back to it eventually, maybe not, time will tell! I’m learning to sit with the unknown, perhaps even become comfortable with it.
I want to start showing up on SubStack more in the next few months. There’s lots to process, and it is fun to shout things out into the void and hear the void answer back. (You’re the void in this situation, I guess??) I want to start sharing more with all of you, and hopefully more frequently. To feel less alone—to find my kindred spirits. So, if you enjoy my random musings, I hope you’ll consider following my journey over on SubStack!
