A private admission; the most viewed work I have ever written is erotica, and though that shames me to no end (not because it is erotica, which is just fine and dandy, but because it is shit, and that is semiobjective possibletruth), I do find it's not a bad thing to write to get back into writing other things. People underestimate how hard it is to writing convincingly fetishstic stuff without giggling like an idiot. 'Tis an art.

I really hope Tasha has done better, but if not, gods look after her. I don't know if it helps, but looking for work/schooling never gets easier, least of all if your extended family is like my own. On the plus side - as troublesome as that can be, it is also a better time to be in such a group, I think. Support is key, in all things.

Take care, though - I don't know if there is a definitive link between writers of fine creepypasta and soul-crippling depression (mixed with odd bouts of optimism) but it does seem to infest us. In another time, I'd recommend a trip to Holmgardr - but it is looking less and less appealing these days, ha!.. All the best, then.
