hi, been a while! because of that, this author’s note is a little bit longer than normal.
it’s been… almost one year since the last moon update! wowie!! mostly because i’ve been busy, but also due to waning interest in general. i started moon three and a half years ago, at a time when covid was causing me to reflect on my past and yearn for the teenage years i’d ‘lost’ to mental health issues, trauma, and chronic illness. pearl is, in a way, a version of 15-16 year old me trapped in time. but as i’ve grown older and learned to become more content with the present, i’ve felt a bit of a disconnect for this reason.
but i still think, for the sake of myself three and a half years ago, and for the sake of pearl, that this deserves an ending. this isn’t that, yet. there’s still one chapter left to go, and probably an epilogue, so we’ll see how long it takes – hopefully not another year.
see you on the flip side!
