Genuine question, what was/is it about strange addiction that made you enjoy it so much?
          	
          	I have struggled to find any love for that story. At certain times I wish I had never wrote it. I hope to one day be brave enough to delete it or change my perception of it. 
          	
          	I hope one day people could enjoy what I’m currently doing, and let strange go. I enjoy reading comments, but unfortunately the only ones I ever get are for that story. And I just feel nothing for it anymore. And it’s hard to check in here everyday and see that people feel the opposite of me.

@StanThinMints I understand what you mean, its very frustrating when that happens...personally i think it's great that you went through it and finished the story. That's an achievement on its own

@TrudyHopeHunter towards the end of strange I was so afraid my writing was slipping because I just wanted to end it so bad. But there were times I was so excited to be writing it. I guess I wish it had never faded. But thank you for taking the time to explain why

I'm sorry you feel that way about strange and I genuinely understand what you are going through. It'd a weird feeling for me with my stories when it comes to that point bcuz I have people enjoying and commenting on it but I have no connection to them anymore. 
          	  
          	  As for your question, strange was a different sort of chaelisa story that I hadn't seen when you were writing it. And it was never one character messing up all the time. I enjoyed watching these characters transition from teens to adulthood, trying to figure themselves and the world out and making SO MANY mistakes, but it felt real. And that gave hope, that when things are so drastically dark they could still get better. I think the constant hope and love in the story attracted me to it. Whether you ever delete it or not, I wanted to let you know I feel grateful to have read it ❤️

I’m sorry for not updating frequently. I’ve been busy with work, busy outside of work, and as of late pretty sick. I hope to get into a better routine soon. Thank you

I’m starting a new job for one of the largest companies in my state soon and as nervous as I am, I’m excited to finally make pay worthy of my work-life efforts.
          
          I know I don’t upload a lot to begin with, but I want to put it out there that I really don’t know what my shift will be. There will be a lot of training, a lot of hours, and as an adult in their mid twenties I really don’t know how much free time I’ll have or what to expect.
          
          As always though, I live in my head. I’ll always be thinking about what’s coming next, and new stories. So if you’re willing to stick around, I’ll try my best.
          
          Thanks, Minty 
          
          
          
          
          (Also maybe 1/3 of strange addiction was written while at work. Haha. Hilarious I know. But I was a good multitasker in my position at the time and writing was new and fun and I was spitting words like f*ckin Eminem)

I’m working on the next ghosty update for those who have been wondering or checking in. It took awhile to get stuff flowing but it’s coming along nicely enough now, so I hope to get it out to you guys relatively soon.
          
          If you recently finished strange and were in the market for a new read, I have quite a lot of chapters out for it already. (Don’t worry, there will never, ever, be anything as long as strange again)
          
          Happy Holidays

Hope you had a great holiday! I didn’t mind how long strange was but I’m glad you take the time to write! Thank you! Your stories have helped me in so many ways.

I know I don’t update it often at all but I’ve been playing a lot of rdr2 again and now with the new sims pack horse ranch you Lovies may be getting some more cowboy Lisa Whiskey Sunsets because the inspo is flowing

StanThinMints

@flqrchae absolutely. The story is a bit long but it’s some of the best storytelling and immersion you can have. You will feel every single emotion twice over
