Kind of an announcement, more like a ramble

Hello there and sorry for not saying or updating anything for more than a year.

I've been wondering for a few weeks how to approach this post and if I even wanted to and I still don't have a clue about how to do it. I forced myself to sit in front of my computer and write whatever comes to mind since I feel the silence has been long enough.

First things first, I don't know what to do with this story I've been developing about bunny people, magic and other stuff. I was really excited when I thought of its first idea and outline, crafted the little world setting and the characters as well as the backstory and everything else I could think of. I was proud of it and dedicated myself to get it out there as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong, I'm still proud of it. It's my baby.

I love it a lot and I would love to get it done, but somehow I can't put the words nor the thoughts to do it. After getting day 1 published of Mint's adventure in  bunny land I've thought again and again how I want to keep the story going, but nothing comes out. I have events scheduled, lore to be revealed, conversations between the characters that will take place and quite a solid idea of how I want the endings to be but… I can't for the life of me weave the threads that join those events together into proper paths.

You could say I have writer's block or whatever else you want to name it. What I know is that after a year I still don't know how to continue it. I've written possible paths and crossed them out, added scenarios to almost immediately remove them as well and simply waited and see if tomorrow would be different. I do have to say I didn't think of this story 24/7 as I also have more things that require my attention, but all the time I dedicated to the story wasn't enough to get anything out of it.

I don't know when I'll be able to bring another update nor do I know when I'll be able to get the story done. Which brings me to the second point of this post.

I'm lost in my own world and I do want to get back on track. For that I guess I have two options, on the one hand I could keep waiting, trying to come up with anything and maybe one day manage to continue writing this story, although it sounds almost like dropping it indefinitely and I don't like that.

On the other hand I could ask someone else, find other people to help me come up with something that will push this story forward. I admit this is my baby and my pride didn't let me think of having someone else into the equation for a long while. Which in turn is probably the best option available.

And I guess the entire point of this post is to say I haven't exactly given up yet and that that's what I want to try doing, see if anyone wants to get involved in the development of Mint and the Secret of the Bunnoys with me. Help me keep this ship floating until it reaches its destination.

Having said all that after more than an entire hour rambling my feelings into words I guess there's not much else to say that I haven't already. I do hope to have something somewhat soon, or at least sooner than another silent year. Maybe in a few months time.

A huge thank you to anyone who is still interested or has kept enough interest in this personal project of mine to read this entire pile of ramblings that I managed to put together. It fills me with joy that anyone could actually read this and even with greater joy if anyone read what is published of my 'little story.

Thank you again,
